I had a vision on the back of my scull of pale pink
cats. But how to get them and where to put them?
Pink, pale pink, old pink,
salmon pink. Vernal, gentle and elegant.
Through several tests I found out that the base color
would be light grey. And that gray came quite easily.
So I thought – that’s it
! Let the pretty bags come ! But … it was a trap.
First attempts were absolutely wrong. Grey background
stayed somehow and that was at least something. But this pale pink …
Sometimes
it was too purple, then too orange, then too light, too dark, too reddish… too
wrong all the time.
There was a flash at one point where it seemed that wow!,
maybe I have it! But no. It was too early to party.
And days grew longer and the sun went higher every day
and I had a very sad feeling about my pale pink cats. Why don’t they
come? How come it is happening?
So I put the samples away and did a lot of thinking
over the matter. I was almost ready to surrender and some middle ground.
At
least I thought I would try and if it is still too wrong, I would put it aside
for some other time.
But my printing angel, a true color queen said she would
do one last battle. I agreed, we do this for the last time.
And we had victory !
Pale pink cats came and they are put. I had my vision
and it came true. I took almost 3 months.
