Pantone Color Everywhere
August 31, 2013
Inspirational Art, Technique tutorials, Tips and Tricks
So apparently, this has been quite the week for Pantone in the craft blogs.
Besides the posts here, Art Bead Scene chatted about the new Fall colors, showing off some lovely bracelets in the palette colors and throwing in a nice little tutorial for a hidden clasp beaded bracelet.
Then over at the 2 Good Claymates’ blog, Carolyn and Dave spent the last week breaking down the Pantone colors and giving away polymer clay color recipes for the majority of the Fall 2013 palette. Here is a collection of their trademark flowers, using their recipe for the rich orange that Pantone calls “Koi“.
The Goods also have recipes for Samba, Mykonos Blue, Deep Lichen Green, Linden Green, Turbulence and Carafe as well. (click on the color name to get to their post on each of the colors.) If you like the Good’s recipes, you might want to get Carolyn’s Color System tutorial for some more color exploration.
Thank you to Francie Owens, who sent me the Art Bead Scene link, and to Jamie Hibbs, who clued me into what the Goods were up to this week. Thanks for keeping me in the loop, ladies!
The Inspirational Process
March 13, 2013
Inspirational Art
Traveling all day yesterday has drained me a bit, so I’m going to let another artist speak today.
These earrings are by Lynda Moseley. She wrote about these in detail on her blog yesterday, and I thought both the earrings and the explanation about their creation were just too good to be missed.
The earrings were created for the latest Art Bead Scene challenge, and were based on the color palette from a Franz Marc painting. Its fascinating to hear about someone’s inspirational process–how they go from being enamored by the elements of something, to creating work based on what moved them. I think you’ll enjoy her story.
You may already be familiar with Lynda from the Back Stories article in the most recent issue of The Polymer Arts. If you like her work, she has even more to share on her Flickr page , as well as process tutorials on her Etsy site.
