I had previously picked out a few pieces to get you through\u00a0the week, although I didn&#8217;t have a specific theme, just the thought of the potentially lovely color I might see here drew me to these pieces. And I certainly have seen beautiful colors from the doors and shutters on the homes in this little village to the wildflowers that fill out the fields on the side of the roads we&#8217;ve wandered down.<\/p>\n<p>So, going with\u00a0that simple theme, I have this older piece by <a href=\"https:\/\/diacenco.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Irina Oano Diacenco<\/a>. It was posted in 2011 but the contrasting purple and yellow are timeless and is further helped by\u00a0the rough texture that makes\u00a0the colors jump and glow as they skip over the lines together.<\/p>\n<p>Although Irina doesn&#8217;t seem to have anything recent online (mind you my searching was limited as my internet goes in and out here), you can catch more beautiful color combinations and textures on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/diacenco.wordpress.com\/category\/polymer-clay\/\" target=\"_blank\">the blog she used to keep here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspirational Challenge of the Day: <\/strong>Pick two highly contrasting colors and create a piece based around how those colors make you feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
