Wrap up post: Gentle Spectrums 2014

Hosted by Riedel Fascination

Gentle Spectrums is a two part challenge where the two parts can be done separately.

The first, Limitless Pallet, is a colour coded challenge. .

Here I did worse than planned. I had enough book to cover the challenge, just didn't get around to reading them. Since I didn't do well, I was planning to give up this part of the challenge in the 2015 edition of the challenge but in the end decided to try it just to see how far I will go.

Anyway, here is the actual progress:

1.  White Thirst - Mike Anka 
2.  The Secret of the Orange Cat - Z.K.Slaby and others
3.  The Cat and the Black Daffodil - Al Toro 
4. Two little girls in blue - Mary Higgins Clark

~~~

The second, Gentle Subjects, is, well, Subject themed. In the beginning I thought this will be the arder part of the challenge, but in the end I was able to fill all ten of the categories

(1)  PLANTS
trees, flowers, grass, gardening & crop-sowing references.
