Remembering a Friend, Artist and COLOURlover
Teresa, Teri, Faded Jeans passed away April, 11th... She was a much loved part of our community and she will be greatly missed. A fellow COLOURlover and friend let me know the sad news and I felt it appropriate to let you all know... but, most importantly to share a little of the amazing color love that she left behind with us.

Celebrating the Colors of Her Life
I believe in celebrating a life and what I will humbly attempt to do here is to celebrate the colors of her life that she shared with us. I did not have the pleasure of knowing her in the real world, but I appreciate her very much and feel so very honored and touched to have created a place for her to share her inspirations, passions and her heart... a place that will continue to share that and carry her love forward.
From Her Profile:
Color and light are two deities that are more like muses to me instead of the foundation basics that they are when one talks about artistic elements and principals. So, whether it's for my projects as a canvas-easel painter or for my pixelations in the field of computer graphics art, I hope to use this site to gather inspirations for new artsy projects as well as share some colorful (and colourful *s*) inspirations of my own.
~*Colors breathe life into the imagination, passion into the unseen*~
Our Favorites of Hers
Some of Her Favorites
It breaks my heart that the only pattern she created was a tribute to me. (Darius' Dare) I'm not sure I deserve that honor, but I will cherish the pattern and the words she left me...
"Thank you Darius for creating a powerful resource that not only feeds the needs of those that create, work and play amongst colours but for also playing an important role by *awakening" those that never paused long enough to see the beauty of life via colours. Personally, I admire you for challenging others to remember that the best life has to offer happens when you appreciate your personal gifts and help others less fortunate. Thank you Darius!"
With all my heart, Thank you Teresa. You will be greatly missed.

But, here is a palette from a round with another colourlover. It was a fun game that faded jeans started a group for.
I so appreciated her friendliness and she often re-loved palettes of mine. It was very sweet. I will miss her.

It makes me kind of ill to post this, but she had been absent from the site for awhile...
(health reasons?) Who knows. In an rather sterile world of internet communication, she always seemed to have a warmth.

It hit me a lot harder than I would have imagined. It was actually a very emotional experience writing this post.

I remeber that she left me really sweet comments on these palettes:
She was the only one who would vote on those 2 every month.
Even though I've never met her, I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

It is odd, how though we may never meet each other in the "real world", we still feel a connection to some people here. Most of the members here are so sweet. The stories we share, the little jokes, they make for better days. We are connected by our love for colour and the simple pleasure of making the colours sing, not only for ourselves but for the CL community. I will miss seeing Teri's sweet songs.
