For those of you who know me personally you know that my closet probably has fewer than five articles of clothing with 'prints' (this includes scarves, too!) and that most of my colors are, shall we say,...neutral and rather drab.
Translation: browns, greys, black, navy blues and an occasional pop of dark red - gotta love RED!
Anyhoo, I was reading Tracy Statler's blog post today over on Make Bracelets and she's got these amazing colors going on with all the goodies she just got from a bead show that was just in her area.
Her post was quite timely since I've been trying to incorporate more color into my designs.
You really gotta check out her blog and all her yummy finds - they're super gorgeous!
Tracy also gives you a head's up on some great blogs that have various color palettes and things related to colors.
One of the blogs she mentions is one of my favorite blog 'must' reads - Brandi Girl Blog.
Brandi's blog has really been helping me get out of my neutral-zone as I try to rev up my use of color.
I know,...some of the things I've been creating lately are just white pearls and silver - so typical me - but I'm mixing it up a little bit and adding a few other colors as well.
(Slowly but surely - don't rush me!)
What I'm curious about now though is this:
Do you tend to 'play it safe' with the colors of your
clothes and your accessories?
Or, do you jump in with both feet at once
and dance with different colors regularly?
Let me know what colors you're drawn to right now and why?
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Rainbows of Colors!
Cheers,
