Weekend Site-Seeing

If you haven’t yet, please read Thursday’s post. It’s important. I hate to cover it up with new posts, but I don’t want to stop posting, so this is my compromise.

color-pinwheel.jpgI have a thing for color. To be specific, I have a thing for bold, saturated colors. I literally live in them. I adore playing with them. Honestly, I think I could spend the rest of my life coming up with interesting color combos for embroidered bracelets.

Aside: I’m often asked if I sell finished bracelets. The answer has always been no, but one of my goals for the summer is to open an Etsy shop and start selling them. Dog knows I love to make them.

Computers make colorplay especially fun. Check out Colors on the Web. This is just one color site; there are others. I enjoy playing with the Color Wizard. You pick a starting color and the wizard will give you monochromatic, analogous, triadic, tetradic, complimentary, and split complimentary colors to go with it. My personal tastes tend toward analogous and tetradic combinations. What do you prefer?

You will also find a color wheel and info about color theory here. It’s a great place to find colors for designing projects.
