NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS

NOTE TO OUR LOYAL ARTISTS It is with sadness we have decided to close the Take-a-Word challenge. Since Marie's passing nine months ago, we have continued to administer the three challenges (Take-a-Word, Three Muses, and Digitalmania), but we have a need to lessen the load a bit. We ask that our loyal followers here at Take-a-Word continue to share your talents at Three Muses or Digitalmania (which is a Flickr site). We are immensely grateful for your participation for the past ten years or so, and hope to see you there. The bee challenge will be the final challenge for Take-a-Word. Ann and Bev

Take a Word - Cool Colours

 
 
This week our challenge is to use cool colours in our artwork. I have used shades of green, blue and turquoise with some sepia thrown in for contrast. I hope you will enjoy playing with a mixture of cool colours.  For credits and a description of how I arrived at this piece click HERE

    Cool colors of Aruba. I made this little sea turtle so maybe I'd feel a bit cooler...

    Didn't work.
