I took this photo in Tahoe. I really like those Windspinners.I can’t buy one, because DH gets sick.
There are a lot of colors, if a person is careful with the little Palette Builder circles. I had fun looking for them.

Despite my efforts, the default palette is still a bunch of neutrals. It is really dark, but somehow strangely appealing. The Kona Earth is a nice brown.
ACK! I can’t believe I said that about brown.

I went for totally bright and cheerful in the first palette. The green in this palette is really a good addition. I like the Grasshopper with the Papaya even though I am not much of a green person.

I went for a cool colors palette. Isn’t it fun? I kept the Grasshopper. It is a nice dark with the other colors.

Palette number 3 is the monochromatic palette that weighs heavily towards turquoise. 😉 I did add in the darks to make it a little different. The Kona Carribean and Breakers are two great darks.

I had to get out of my favorite cool colors, so I went with warms. This is a nice combinations of pinks and golds, I think.

I couldn’t get away from the cools, even though I tried. I added some lavender and those greens – more mossy and sagey – add something, especially with the Breakers.

I dragged myself away from the cools again and went back to warms, though I couldn’t stay completely away and that Jade Green combined with the Kona Cotton Red and the Pomegranate is awesome.

I did a backwards version of n.6 in that I used mostly cools with a warm.
What will you make?
