I totally forgot to do ColorPlay last week. I had a photo picked out and I completely forgot. I took this photo from a plane window as I flew to Portland to see my broken YM. It was a gorgeous, gorgeous day in the Bay Area and all the way to Portland AND in Portland … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Mt. Shasta”

I still have some of the pressed glass photos from my trip to Indiana and wanted to try a few more palettes. I thought this color scheme would be an interesting challenge. The default was, of course, in Jaye-world, not to my tastes. It isn’t horrendous. The Silver and Pewter, as well as the Primrose … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #4”

The latest ColorPlay photo is another of the pressed glass photos from May. I thought it would be fun to play with some pinks and whites to see what I came up with. I really do like the actual items, especially those white cake stands. I might have bought one if I hadn’t been flying … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #3”

I spent a BBQ in a walled garden last week at Grand Parlor. In addition to the walls keeping the wind out and the cozy nature of the gathering, it was so gorgeous I could have stayed there all day. There was a whole slew of different flowers. They were all different. I chose this … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Flowers”

I decided that I would do a few more palettes with the photo from last week. I realized that I wasn’t quite done with it yet. We are skipping the default image since it will be the same as last week’s. Go look at it if you want to see how neutral it was. I … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #2A”

Last week I talked about the pressed glass glassware I saw at Yoder’s. There was a lot of it and I decided to do a series of posts about the different colors. The green and yellow weren’t my favorite, but I could appreciate the colors. The green also reminded me of my Jadite batter bowl. … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #2”

I haven’t done any sewing for the past 14 days or so, thus Indiana is being featured again. At Yoder’s they had a section of housewares that had the most interesting stuff: 5 kinds of molds for popsicles, the old versions of Risk, Clue and Sorry as well as bowls, plates, locally made wooden spoons … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Pressed Glass”

I am working on the next Creative Spark, but am not quite finished. I thought I would give you a preview with today’s ColorPlay Inspiration photo. Once again the default was a disappointment. More neutrals. This is a colorful photo and all I get are neutrals. I wonder what the algorithm has against colors? Of … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Tableware”

I saw this pitcher at an antique store in Grass Valley. Along with the green glass in the background, I thought it would make an interesting ColorPlay. There still aren’t very many colors, but the greens are varied, which makes them somewhat interesting. I have no idea what time period this pitcher is from, but … Continue reading “ColorPlay Pitcher”

For a number of years (3-4), I took a picture of the Ferry Building in SF every day as I went to work. I had read an article about a guy who took a photograph of the same NY shop every day around the same time. Somewhere in the article the author (or, perhaps, the … Continue reading “ColorPlay Ferry Building”

Some things take time. I know that in our house, if something comes in it is difficult to dislodge it. This has a number of effects. Nothing temporary may come in. Temporary has no meaning in our house, so only things that we want to keep forever may come in. As I work towards my … Continue reading “ColorPlay Workroom”

Available photos to use for the ColorPlay are feeling thin on the ground. I dug deep and chose a photo from our trip to Hawaii a few years ago and took it to the Palette Builder for some play. I can certainly get my blue fix from Hawaii, right? The original photo is quite simple. … Continue reading “ColorPlay Hawaii”

Tulips are, possibly, my favorite flower. I am pretty partial to spring flowers, such as daffodils, hyacinth and narcissus, so it is hard to say. One reason I like them is that florists don’t tend to pair tulips with baby’s breath. I sincerely dislike baby’s breath. I had white tulips for my wedding bouquet and … Continue reading “ColorPlay: Tulips”

Last weekend we went on another #politicalwifery trip for the Native Sons. We headed up to the North Coast. After, what seemed like, days of pouring rain, Saturday dawned beautifully clear. DH pointed out a gorgeous view so I am using that view, on our way back from Stitch in Ferndale as today’s ColorPlay. You … Continue reading “ColorPlay Travel”
