COLOR Your World

New Products - waiting for you, click here

Keeping with our month of COLOR, I wanted to share some palettes you might like to use in your projects.   

Mauve and sage green are not the current colors, but fresh tones of those colors are!  What we see in Fashion influences our world, it trickles into home interiors and the art in homes.  As we see these colors more and more, we incorporate them into our surroundings.  Maybe you will buy a yellow purse or a necklace of Lapis.



A Mixture of Vitality, Relaxation and the Great Outdoors
From colors that are bright and vivid to those that convey a sense of earthiness, top 10 colors for spring 2017 are reminiscent of the hues that surround us in nature. 
In conjunction with New York Fashion Week, the PANTONE Fashion Color Report is your essential color guide to the season:
Reminiscent of the hues that surround us in nature, our Spring 2017 Color Report evokes a spectrum of emotion and feeling. 



From the warmth of sunny days with PANTONE 13-0755 Primrose Yellow 
The invigorating feeling of breathing fresh mountain air with PANTONE 18-0107 Kale 
The desire to escape to pristine waters with PANTONE 14-4620 Island Paradise
Colors fully capture the promises, hope, and transformation that we yearn for each Spring.




Thanks for seeing the blog today and maybe getting a jump on the fresh colors we will be seeing this year.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
