Here is my first submission to the Summer of Color. The inspiration was rainbow sherbet. I struggled initially trying out pastels, water color, colored pencil, and acrylics. I even experimented in photoshop. I'm not an artist and felt really intimidated by everyone else's submissions. I'm going to try to get past that and just enjoy this process.
I ended up using pastels, water color, colored pencil and acrylics to make a mosaic ice cream cone. I wanted to work more on the title page, but it is what it is. I'm putting my creations into my new smashbook.
Here's the scanned version for a better view of the detail.
On to next week's inspiration, Mint chocolate chip!

I think it's great - the ice cream has a wonderful stained glass look to it and the colours really pop.

This looks like a lot of fun. And I also agree with you when you say about feeling overwhelmed by other peoples entrys.

I just love what you did - who says you're not an artist? The mosaic ice cream, and the undeniably true quote, both wonderful unique takes on the challenge...

Don't be intimidated, we're all doing different things. I look at the sewn/crocheted/knitted/embroidered stuff and really wish I could do it... I look at your mosaic and think what a cool idea, wish I'd thought of that. But we're all different :)
Love your page, even more so since I read your other post too.
I'm using Summer of Colour to tickle my mojo back into play - it's working so far :)
