The Summer of Color - BROWN

"Nodland"
8 x 10 Journal page
{This page was inspired by the vintage sheet music - a lullaby entitled "Bye Bye Land" - which serves as the base of the collage}

Yellow fever!
Another wonderful week was had with Yellow. Although some of us initially expressed concern with the color, we tackled the challenge regardless and succeeded in producing an amazing amount of beautiful, inspirational pieces based upon the signature hue of Summer. Thank you once again for sharing your heart and art with us here and with one another on Flickr and Facebook as we continue our colorful journey together . . .

Did you hear?
The winner of last week's Yellow drawing (pictured in the post below) is . . .
YOU

Please Email your address to kdvanvalkenburghatmsndotcom and I will get your goodies right out.


Now, welcome to BROWN week!
Your color prompt for this week (Monday July 11th to Sunday July 17th) is to create anything your heart desires inspired by color Brown. Your Bonus! challenge is to incorporate a bold shot of color somewhere in your work. As always, please (A) link your work in the widget below so that others can find you, (B) leave one comment if you created a Brown piece and (C) leave two comments in you completed the Bonus! challenge. 

And did you see all those vintage pretties?
This week's Brown giveaway will include a lot of 'em . . .
The Paper Company Flourish rub-ons, several (okay 6 ;) large vintage ledger pages, several pieces of vintage sheet music, Distress Ink in Pumice Stone, one distressed tag, a few sheets of mica, Stickles glitter in Cinnamon and Copper and a sprinkling of bronze Swarovski flat-back crystals



And what is next week's color prompt?

RED
(Monday July 18th - Sunday July 24th)

"Red protects itself. No colour is as territorial. It stakes a claim, is on alert against the spectrum."
- Derek Jarman

Is there a Bonus! challenge with Red?
Yep. Should you decide to take it on, next week's Bonus! challenge is to incorporate something - anything - winged into your work. This can be taken literally or figuratively, the choice is yours.

Have fun . . .

    Beautiful collage Kristin, I love the little girl riding on the body of the butterfly.

    In my blog I mention red probably being a problem colour for monochromatic as I had a feeling red was going to be next.

    Finally I was ready with the brown challenge! I let life then procrastination hold me back. I will get the others done sometime and if not I will keep going forward from here! Life gets in the way of crafting sometimes and I just don't know how to say no! Been checking out what has been put out there and I am impressed. Maybe feel a little out of my league to. Okay...be positive. Looking forward to the next challenge. Vickie

    Your college is beautiful! Seems so dreamy and magical - ties in perfectly with the "Bye Bye Land" sheet music!

    Half of what I created is brown without any other color (origami window stars) and the other has brown with various colors (the quilt squares I'm making each week for a quilt that will be the final project at the end).

    Love your page Kristin.

    I've posted my brown experiment, and was very glad it was an experiment as it didn't really work.

    Hey Kristin I am finally getting around to posting this week. I had fun creating with brown. I like your art for this week. I like the vintage feel of your piece. The blues in the wings really spice it up as well.

    It was interesting adding a bold color to my brown art. I do like many colors with brown. The varied hues go so well with many colors. Now I am off to create with red.
