Swirling Color

Being brave with color can be a bit frightful. When do know if you’ve gone too far? I think the trick with bold color is to not hold back. If you’re going to go bold, go all the way.

Here is such an example. Randee Ketzel has no fear of color. Take a close look at her color choices here. Three bright, warm colors and then just one soft, cool color. Why does the powder blue work here? Well, it creates a dynamic contrast against all the warm, bright tones.  A very brave choice indeed.

Randee experiments quite a bit with color as well as techniques. You can check out here experiments and resulting work on her Flickr page as well as grab yourself some of her tutorials on her Etsy shop.

    What a lovely surprise! A friend of mine pinged me about it–I am having EVER so much fun developing the tutorial for this technique, but it’s growing so huge I may have to preform a Gordian knot maneuver and cut it in two. I promise it will be live soon–I just want to make it as perfect as it can be, thanks to the great feedback from the polymer community.
