More About Color Inspirations by Lindly Haunani and Maggie Maggio
After spending more time with this new color primer, I can’t wait to try some of the exercises. I’ve done some of them before from Maggie’s website and videos, but there is so much more in the book and I can’t wait to continue to experiment. Maggie has three videos that will help you when you get to Chapter Five, Mixing Colors That Flow.
The first video is Color Scales Tutorial and found on Maggie’s website. The second is Color Scales II Playing with Color Scales and I could only find it on You Tube! The last is, Color Scale Triangles in Polymer Clay.
These are wonderful videos and will help you, but having the book brings it all together. The long awaited book is finally available at Amazon today
I’m most excited that Maggie will be posting “Weekend Extras ” on her blog, to encourage you to go through each of the exercises in the book. She will start with tips for the very first exercise, “Testing Package Colors.” you will be able to ask questions and post comments.
Lindly’s blog is full of color information and links, with a fabulous link to Dulux paint in the UK with a color system that is really helpful.

Adrienne, I just was on her blog this Saturday morning and she has comments, and extra exercises. Plus she answers questions with her FAQ’s section and adds a few tips as well. Really nice of her.
I need a book that teaches how to make canes without translusent backing. I saw one and I thought it was here. But now I can’t find it. You use some silly puddy when packing and then it lifts away from your design later. Do u know what I am talking about?
Thanks sooooooooooooooo much.
Maybe you mean Play Dough? Here’s the link to the technique by Idit Zoota and filmed by Yonat.

Hope that helps. I haven’t actually tried it yet. I was hoping to have time, but I’ve been busy with other things. It’s still on my list though.
