HUEsday...daring orange


Orange to Red gradient with lots of bright icy Turquoise and cool dark Blues for contrast. Beautiful Kyoto Landscape found on Far and Far away

For people who know me it's no secret that I've got a little feud with the color orange. . . I can't explain why, but it kinda repels me most of the time.
But helping out Mom with renovation lately, I had to face a lot of orange. . . There's lots of reds, oranges and especially aged, orangy shaded wood furniture to find in her apartment. All that is supposed to stay, because of budget, so had to come up with ideas how to combine these tones with other materials and hues so it would look . . .well, more bearable. ;b

Here's some combinations I could actually start liking. . .;)

Cooler light salmon-colored hue with brighter orange combined with shiny Lime Green and bits of Rosé.

Nature's creativity: Orange hues divided by bright pinky Violet plus greenish Yellow highlights!

mondayMAKINGS #3
~Tinkering with Paper~

Because of the tight schedule I had during the last week (4 family birthdays, college tasks, job and other organizational stuff) I'm still not able to show you some NEW "makings" here today. Sorry for that!!
But since no one knows my "old" stuff either,. . . (therefore wouldn't notice anyways) I suppose you won't mind when I post some crafty output from the last few years. ;b

Last week I showed a drawing, and the week before that there were also sketches and paintings. So I thought, why not go one dimension further and post 3D objects I (re-)designed. . .

I mentioned my handmade goods shop on DaWanda.com before. . . And that I plan to build up on it in the near future . . .

SOOOooo looking forward to jump into that adventure!! =D

So, to let you get a hint of what it could - maybe . . . somehow - look like, what I'm going to offer there I'm posting some of the crafty designs I've made as presents for friends before.

I don't like giving loved ones something unpersonalized,. . .simply bought in a shop kinda stuff. All of my friends have more money than I do anyways, so they can better buy things they want for themselves. But what they're not so likely to do is create or design things for themselves.
So I take a chance whenever I can. ;b

Here are some more or less kitschy examples.

I know, things like that are maybe not necessarily suitable for the masses...
But for a handemade-business-to-be it's at least worth to work out...

It's HUEsday again!

According to the TinkerBar blogging plan . . .it's time for some color splashing!

I picked two of my favourite SHAG illustrations, and made a pallette . . .
