Survey the landscape and discover core palettes inspired by Mother Earth

A brilliant flower, a glowing ember, the colors of fire and passion, and the earth’s molten core

Blues

Clear water, faded American denim, rivers, lakes and seas, workwear, and crisp blue skies

Greens

The depths of sea and forest, seaweed, algae and moss, rooftop gardens, and foliage motifs

SW Faux Road Show dates listed below

IDAL Technique of the Month coming later in September in this Blog! (follow me on TWITTER for details)

IDAL Convention, Faux Impressions Road Show and IDAL Board work has me thinking that some down time would be nice right about now... (maybe a retreat)

Faux Retreat

From the looks of what I saw on Facebook Mave Alft and the attendees at the Faux Retreat did some amazing things with Quartz Stone. (See pictures below!)

I received a Facebook Message from Mave a month or so ago and the fun began. She kind reached out a grabbed my attention with the fantastic opportunity to have our products participate in such a creative endeavor. (She has a habit of reach out and getting peoples' attention. See below)

Retreat to Wisconsin!

When I heard that the retreat was in Wisconsin, I was quite jealous that i could not rearrange my schedule to attend. Wisonsin in late August is beautiful.

Take a look at Mave's boards that she taught and see what the group of artists came up with below:
