My first choice was camouflage. I had seen a couple of examples of it I really liked, and thought I would try it. I worked at it, and I did complete one, but...after 2 days, I just did NOT like it. AT ALL. I'm going to run with the reason that I am still new at this, and don't have the creative juices flowing just yet.
So, what to do, what to do...then I had an idea. Well, a chain reaction thought really, that started in an unlikely place. The ending of the hockey lockout. The Blackhawks took the ice over the weekend, and I started thinking about when they won the Stanley Cup. The parade in Chicago was crazy, and when I was watching it, I remember all the confetti that was coming down when the two double decker buses drove the team to the rally. So, confetti it is. Well, my version anyway.
Simple choice - only two colors. Orly White Tips and China Glaze It's a Trap-eze.
I'm still trying to find time to do these photos during the day, but things are crazy with work and school schedules. I need to get a camera too.
The single digit temperatures, sub-zero windchills and all this forced air heat has made everything dry, so I'm still working on making the finished product look nice, but this one IS better than the last. Baby steps...

I'm looking forward to "D". Have a good week everyone!
