Challenge #60 Atmosphere and Mood using Color

FFFC Challenge 60 – August 2011    

Atmosphere and mood using color

Host:  A Carole Grant                                    Due: Sept 3 noon ET

Let’s use color to create an atmosphere and mood in our challenge piece.  And for this challenge, for a change…you can choose a different medium than fabric if that appeals to you.  Paper art, photography, mixed media, painting, drawing or whatever else.
