Picture of the Day ~ 02.04.16

I have not felt much like posting lately for some reason.  I haven't been doing much coloring recently due to vision issues and my return to crocheting (a winter thing, I think).  I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and post more again.  We will see how it goes ;)

This was done with markers.  It was done before I started writing stuff down, but from the look of it, I think it was done with mostly prismacolor/w&n/copic markers.  The center is a gold gel pen.

This is astoundingly good.  Your work always shows such great understanding of color complement and placement, especially with something as complicated as the patterns on this page.  The Colorists Cult is just so good at this it blows me aay sometimes.   

I've never been good at this, I just don't *get* colors this way, but I love coloering and I feel I'm improving through lots of practice and studying all of y'all's work.

Tl;dr:  Yowza, Curious!  Thanks Minions for all the inspiration each of you give me.  *goes back to my forum-reading, coloring book corner*

Since I started coloring very regularly again, I have done quite a bit of reading on color theory and it has really helped me with color selections. 

I agree seeing other FJ Colorists work is also quite helpful.  Some color combos that I would never try because they don't seem like they'd work well to me are so pretty on other folk's work that I make a mental note to try them. 

Both things have really expanded my knowledge and use of different colors.

I like the way you put the blue and purple and also the pink and red side by side (on the peace signs).  I feel like I'd have split them up, as in, blue, pink, purple then red. So I'd end up with less of a rainbow effect. I love all these rainbow looks that have been posted lately.  I agree with everything the others have said above. It's great.

That was my old rainbow pattern, which was red, blue, purple, green yellow, (orange), pink.   I had to cut one color out above to make it work out. 

I've recently changed my rainbow stuff, for some reason, to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink

      I bet there are quite a few changes in the book that they will never publicly admit to. 

      We need a graphic designer to make up a faux literary award for the new cover that acknowledges the number of times it has been entered into evidence in child murder trials.

      You are probably correct - as usual, it's about the money and the power. Jesus is a very distant third, if He is in the running at all.

      Nathan Pearl just took over the NGJ business ministries. His daughter Ashley is running the NGJ social media. NGJ is also republishing TTUAC, allegedly a new edition with some changes:

      Well now. Who is going to take one for the team and compare it to the original?

      Nose goes.

      Michael Pearl is the cult leader and he will feel the need to pontificate on some bizarre and arcane reasoning when the truth is likely much more logical: he wants to keep the money and the power and the esteem and allowing for occasional divorce makes all that possible. To stay true to the teaching would mean distancing from half of his kids and that would be cruel.

      We have looney relatives on both sides of the political spectrum but the place they overlap is a desire to buy raw milk and organic foods. 

       

      OMG this is so funny you guys mention the raw milk thing, because as a homeschooling fundie kid in the 90s there ended up being a black market/raw milk ring that operated through the local library (small town). We would collect giant jars of raw unpasteurized milk from the fridge there (deposited from a local farm). It was an open secret advertised by word of mouth in the fundie homeschool community. 

      I loved skimming off ladles filled with cream from the top and using it in the baking I did for the family. Looking back, I'm just glad none of us got seriously ill.  But since this was before the internet really took hold it shows how longstanding these beliefs really are.
