I was looking back through my blog and realized that some of the blog challenges I participated in helped shape my style…or at least my typical go-to style. That’s one thing I really love about having a blog…looking back at the massive number of creations over time.
SOC: Charcoal Grey & Pale Pink
7/2/2013
So here we are at week 4 of The Summer of Color with Charcoal Grey & Pale Pink. A much easier set of colors for me.
I had a bit of a hard time getting the right grey until I read on Elizabeth’s post that she puts a little purple into her grey’s to give it more intense color. It worked!! So happy….thanks E!
I’ve been doing a lot with splattering paint and inks lately. It seems to add the texture I’m seeking.
I have to admit that this shot with those colors makes me think 1980’s…”like totally“. There are parts of the 1980’s worth reliving…
I’m also loving the texture I pressed into the grey. I was actually trying to stamp some black texture into it but the paint was still too wet. I decided to run with it.
I had some “help” taking my photos this morning…

Sorry for the wonky formatting…I was trying something new with my blog at the time. I honestly could have fixed it before reposting today but what the heck…that’s the way it actually was in 2013.
A lovely spread that comes with the revelation that adding purple to grey intensifies the colour – definitely going to try that! A fabulous second look! Hugs, Chrisx
Charcoal and pink work so well together. And who would have thought about adding a bit of purple to grey. I’m going to remember that. These are beautiful Halle. I missed them the first time around, so I am glad to see them.
Gosh Halle, I had totally forgotten that post of mine,including that I use a bit of purple to enhance gray, until you linked me to it. So sweet of you.
Yes, I remember that post you created. I think you found your style. I love how you seem to layer and layer and layer, then create some of the most amazing art around. I would love to be able to create art like that, but that is definitely not my style. This was a great second look, and I’m so very glad you shared it with us on the 2nd. BTW, I also like how you are a true pink girl, too.
