Last month we made new colours and named them – I had two goes with Spicy Cinnamon & Sunny Glow, then a range of Teals. And this month, Michelle has gone COMPLETELY mad and wants us to create names, then make colours to match!
Sounds COMPLETELY mad, doesn’t it?!? AND COMPLETELY cool! and fun! So here is what I’ve thrown together for the Street Crusade No 54 Mind Games

GPP No 54 – Mind Games
Where to begin with creating names for colours before having the colours? Michelle had some suggestions; I was thinking about some of my favourite quotes and song lyrics. What caught my attention was a small object sitting my desk; I’m starting a new project next week and I will be learning all about making microphones, and I have a small, shiny disk on my desk that goes into a mircophone, hence where my train of thought ran (or derailed – whichever!)
Introducing:
Microphone Pop
Singing Rays
Pop-pop Beat
I am pleased with the mix of colours – the names seem a little crazy under the light of a new day (may be I shouldn’t be painting after 10pm after a stressful day!). As I mixed the colours, I added some to an art journal layout (the ONLY page I had pre-gesso’d – UGH!)
And, of course, there was lots of paint left over, so lots of colour got added to text sheets for future projects.
Happy crusading! Thanks for leaving your comments and “likes”!
