It's Summertime

It's Hot today. Whew. Summertime is here.
So are my new colors ~ CeCe Caldwell Chalk Clay Paint Colors

I ordered more samples, they arrived yesterday. The Color Choices are So Amazing!

The colors shown here are WET in the drying stage ~~~~
Wanting you to see the change, there is a change, it's not dramatic but it is visible.

Number 1 shown,  A new color, it is named Kentucky Mint

To describe it, not sure if I would classify it in the " Mint" category.
Next to chocolate brown, we think of mint chip Ice Cream, I do not find this
a Mint in that way, if that makes sense. It is a mellow soft neutral green, no blue within it, nor yellow. A muted gingham green comes to mind. It's very fresh, would look like Spring with white. Or streaked with Maine Harbor Blue, Montana Sky Blue - Yum. Have not bought it yet, would look adorable with Traverse City Cherry Red. The colors to compliment each other, not to create " Christmas" -

A good example of Kentucky Mint, this Jadite Milk Glass Green

Kentucky Mint Green ~~ Dry ~~

Number 2 shown, is Montana Sky Blue
This is a very pretty POP of blue, it reminds me of my Great Grandmothers embroidery, her hand made Hungarian crafting, table clothes, tapestries. I see it as " Hungarian Blue"  the little blue flowers with the yellow centers.

 

Montana Sky Blue ~~ Dry ~

The lighter shade of Blue threads in this piece of Hungarian Tapestry - You can see how it enhances all colors as an accent.

I love that the Blue has an Old World about it, that it can be used with every color or stand alone by itself. The Beauty of CeCe's Paints there is no Under " Tone" screaming at you, as a side affect, yes affect not effect. They are all clear color, meant to be as they say they are.  If you have ever had to choose a White, you know what I mean. Where it be in paint, a turtleneck, or a drapery, nothing worse than getting it home to say, It's not white! It's yellow, its off white, it looks pink, it looks green ... same with blacks, there are green, brown, blue toned blacks etc.. no fear here !! Thank you CeCe. Posting more tomorrow - will have all the  colors displayed  :) including my new ones just received.
