** This post is an introduction to one of our paid color palettes.
In contrast to the Semiahmoo Palette which was deep and moody and filled with hidden meanings, today’s Pink Hydrangea Palette is all about simplicity. Basically, this is a pretty flower, with pretty colors, and I like it. Nothing deeper than that!
To be fair to the Hydrangea, it truly is a remarkable flower. Did you know that this particular genus species, Hydrangea Macrophylla will bloom either Pink or Blue depending on the acidity of the soil? Pretty cool EH?
Hydrangea enthusiasts can manipulate the pH of the soil by using Lime or Aluminum Sulphate. I haven’t tried it myself yet… too many polymer clay experiments to do first before I start messing around with horticulture!
If I remember correctly, this Pink Hydrangea blossom was in a bouquet that we got from the realtor when we sold our apartment. So this picture must be pretty old. When Doug showed me the photo, I loved all the different shades of pink in the petals, and the gray background, and just knew it would be the perfect inspiration for the next color recipe collection.
Fading Hydrangea is the soft Yellowish Pink found in the oldest blooms as they dry and fade in the sun. Plum Rose is the soft Magenta based Pink so dominant in this big fat blossom head. Claret is the deep Plum Wine found in the shadowed center of the flower. And Rock Path is the Purplish Gray of the pebbles in the background.

Your recipes for different colors are priceless and such a time saver. I took index cards, printed the color and recipe on them then glued a baked sample on the card. Now when I need that just so color I can just find it on my index card and whip it up with out the waste and mistakes of finding just what one I need. Fantastic!! Thanks.

I’m just beginning to experiment with mixing colors, so I believe the recipe cards will come in really handy. Keep up the fantastic work!

Joining your ‘club’ is the best thing I ever did, I used to mess around with Polymer Clay some years ago, but always had problems and gradually lost incentive. In particular, I have no colour sense, so, having your fabulous colour cards is just a dream. I actually read on a beading artist’s blog that she got angry with people wanting to know exactly what colours she’d used and wondered why they didn’t just try for themselves. Well, I could tell her why! Whenever I tried I just got grimaces from people. I think it’s necessary to have someone to get you started and give you a few designs / patterns to practice to gain confidence, so you can then ‘paint outside the lines’ without worrying about how it will turn out. So, thank you again dear tutor, I hope you’ll be around forever!
