So when all else fails, make something. This month's Arts in the Cards theme is the color pear. I started by making a small painting, scanning it, playing with the color in Photoshop, printing it onto fabric then cutting it apart to make the ATCs. I like that each one is unique. It doesn't say "pear" so I won't be told I'm being too literal. I added lots of stitching, some beads I bought in Georgia (country not state) and the word "pear" in Korean thanks to my daughter-in-law, Sang. The satin stitching is terrible because of my sewing machine, otherwise I am pleased. Now I just have to come up with a title and put them in the mail. Title suggestions are welcomed!
Karen, these are very sensual and remind me of O'Keefe. The monochromatic color works really well. Maybe its from reading your post, but they do seem to convey a feeling of depth and sadness, but quiet strength too.

DeleteThe colors and curves are lovely and soft and quiet. Introspective, perhaps.
