This is the Color Your World Challenge for 2017 – 120 days of Crayola Crayon Colors! For more info on how to join in click on the badge at the bottom of the post!!!
Melted Green crayon poured on then removed leaving pigment residue behind. Then the ‘strawberries’ were outlined and leaves colored-in using a green Sharpie) background was colored before melting the crayons. Red strawberry buttons (thank you, Ellen!) add a touch of color.
The Inspiration:
I’m remembering my sweet LadyBird who left me a year ago today.

Three filters on a simple piece of digital art.
The original piece:
With this art, as with my digital art books, nursery rhymes and others, this was created using MSWord and basic shapes. Its a slow and time-consuming process but one that I find enjoyable!
I’ve been lazy this week art-wise so I am posting some digital art I created for another blog. It’s all about time – the passing of time and how time is spent.
Time’s gears
Time discombobulated
Time is short
![A-to-Z Reflection [2016]](https://orangemarmeladepress.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/a-to-z-reflection-2016.jpg?w=585)
This year’s challenge was two-fold for me. One, was a reading challenge, and the other, an art challenge.
I set certain perimeters for myself regarding the books I would base the challenge on:
a. a book I’ve never read before (which I accomplished with one exception)
b. a book within the genre’s according to the prechosen letters (for instance if “A” was a picture book genre then I couldn’t choose a nonfiction book no matter how interesting the book might have been)
c. the book had to be read before the cover was completed and within the three months before the challenge (this one got a little sticky as I was still searching for appropriate books into late March and reading through the middle of April!)
and, d. I had to choose books I might not otherwise read, like “K”‘s western genre and “J”‘s romance genre
The second part of the challenge, the digital art covers, was somewhat less time consuming for the most part – so much so that I actually felt guilty for not putting more effort into them!
But, all in all, I had a great time reading, reviewing and making over the covers of the books this year. Preplanning works best for me.I actually started planning in December and by January I already had a posting calendar ready to go – it changed quite a few times, but I knew what was in front of me. Below is my final calendar. I deleted all the other ones!
Will I do it again next year?? YOU BET!!! What will be my art form in 2017? I’m thinking something other than digital art!! You’ll have to come back next year to find out!!!
