Today’s challenge at Mixed Media Monday is “Your least favorite color.” It was hard to chose a color I didn’t like until I realized I was focusing on major color grouping where I can always find a shade/tone that I do like. I don’t mind pink, many times it is just the color that is needed, but don’t use it as a main color, and I especially don’t like to work with pinks in sweet candy-like ways. I like a grungy-er look. So, I made the effort to do sweet pink.
The background was one I’d already done in a journal made with scraped acrylic paint, stamps, large bubble wrap prints, etc. I used an old photo of myself wearing a tuxedo and changed it into a skirt. I added a penguin as it was the theme of the party I was originally dressed for. Can’t say I love it anymore…As I titled it…”I still hate pink”!
Very pink indeed! I don’t think the penguin likes it either! Nice piece – you can feel the fun in it.
Gee, I rather like the pink you’ve used, although at times a certain pink looks like Pepto Bismal. You look cool in your altered tux.
OK, so you’ve learned that you still don’t much like that shade of pink 🙂 It’s great that you challenged yourself with it. I actually think the page is really effective, because it’s still lovely and grungy despite the pink. Diane
Wow this is fantastic.
Gorgeous painting.
Gorgeous spread.
I think the pink you used came out nicely. I’m not a fan of it either. 🙂
Cool page! Thanks for visiting my blog!! 🙂
