Color Inspirations: Seed Pod In Decay

Here is another selection of 5 of the 2mm silks inspired by some of the colors in Seed Pod Shells in the photo that follows.

Now mind you, color inspiration does not have to be from a perfect photo (this one was taken with the iPhone and just would not focus properly for me. I was probably rushed that day.)

I often look at things with squinty eyes to just get an overall feel for color hues, shape, symmetry, etc.

Here is the Seed Pod Shell palette from my ColourLovers app:

And the silks are available in my Etsy shop by bundle or website by individual strand.

Color Inspirations: Winter PaperWhites

I am determined to get color palettes picked for some photos before I go to bed.

Marsha Neal Studio Winter PaperWhites (December 2010). 

I picked these tones from the image above...

Here is a photo that I took with my iPhone Hipstamatic app of some paperwhites in bloom around Christmas 2010. I opened the photo up in the ColourLovers iPhone app, which uploaded to colourlovers.com, then I downloaded the palette & saved to my computer, then uploaded here to my blog. Talk about a bit of a P.I.T.A… sheesh!

Seems like there are so many cool things that technology can do, but shouldn't there be a faster way to do this (I know - it is probably me, doing things the hard way… Will have to practice it a bit more).

It's cool that they give you some html code to post so you can find Marsha Neal Studio Palettes on their website (will have to test it out to see if it a direct link. *Nope. I checked… not a direct link. Well click HERE to see my palettes)

Here is what I have picked out as far as the hand painted silks that I carry on my website and the colors I think would work in this palette. I have it on my "to do" list for tomorrow to pull these actual colors and photograph them and update this post with them.

I just did a blog post with new photos of the new silk colors HERE.

**Here are the colors I pulled in silks, inspired by the color palette for the Winter PaperWhites...

Oh, and I just added them to my Etsy shop!
And that's all… Pshew - one down...
