developing a thing about pink

1. I'm here. :), 2. what is to be is up to me, 3. Circle of Roses, 4. decorating our crib for the season, 5. Work in progress, 6. After Christmas, 7. Squidgum, 8. Best Bunny, 9. peace & love garland

do you think i might be developing an unhealthy interest in pink? or am i just looking for signs of spring?

loving the idea of this.

color palettes: what inspires right now

as christmas winds down (they think it's on the 24th here, you know, so tho' today is christmas, we have that post-christmas feeling) a girl's thoughts turn to decorating. we promised sabin we'd swap rooms with her and she wants loads of color in her new room. so i put together some inspiration from amongst my flickr faves.

1. Winter Project, 2. old collage, 3. Good Folks Strip, 4. sticx

1. ｄａｙｓ, 2. miss Evelyn..., 3. O ultimo / The last one, 4. new garlands

looking at my own photos, i am drawn again and again to the blue palette the snow has brought to us.

now to sit down with sabin and get her to choose.

these blues are really not my usual ones, but i do love this photo.

greenish-grey seems very classy.

and my own chandelier - because i adore this photo

check in on your color palettes with the color palette generator. it can be quite enlightening. i'm thinking of incorporating some of these tones into a wintery quilt. and settling on something quite stunning for my new laundry room (because when the house is falling down around you, what's the first thing you build? a new laundry room, of course).

we interrupt the interviews for the colors of the moment

it's been awhile since i played with big huge labs' color palette generator i love to do this to check in on the colors that are attracting me at the moment. these are all photos i've taken recently. hmm, i sense warm scarves and quilts on the horizon...and i still haven't painted over that awful pink in the kitchen. i wonder if these colors are among the ones i bought two months ago?

i love the names of some of these: bracken, allports, chelsa cucumber, stromboli, persimmon, sherpa blue, mash, chenin... tho' my ubiquitous teals and greens are here, there are some other ranges sneaking in. what colors are speaking to you in this late summer-early autumn transitional time?
