MIX97 I never use purple! :)

Photo Details

Poster: UnderstandBlue

Howdy! I'm hosting this week's Mix-Ability challenge - It's Hip To Be Square. I wanted to challenge people to "contain" their mixed media so that it's a clean look still. Hope you can play along!

More deets on what I did and an observation about the feline mind at this blog post.

TFL! Come play along!

The famous wine mesh!! The purples carry through on the wine theme so, says this red wine lover. And the richness of them is perfect for Christmas.

Well, perhaps you should use purple more often. This turned out really cool looking Lydia!! I like the neat, clean look of contained mixed media use. I think this challenge has really added a lot of neat artistic creation. It's nice to see people expressing themselves more freely.

Love the softness of the purple background with the gold flecks and how it tempers the bolder tones of purple and gold in the squares. Beautiful and rich composition!
