\"White<\/a>
White & Pink Pressed Glass – original<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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 home from Indiana, and I had space in my cupboard at home. I also like the variety of items they had. You can see bowls, pitchers, salt & pepper shakers, candy dishes and more in addition to the cake stands.<\/p>\n

While manipulating the first one, I realized that my dreams of creamy whites and blush pinks were going to come to nothing with this photo. Again with the preponderance of neutrals. Sigh.<\/p>\n

I know. I know. The lens doesn’t see the world as our eyes do. I just have to find a photo that creates beautiful palettes.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay:<\/a>
ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #3 – default<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So the default palette was dark. I think the palette would be good for an on-the-market\/for sale house interior, but not for a quilt. At least not for one of my quilts.<\/p>\n

Cynthia W made a comment<\/a> on another post about a pop of color, which made me think. While looking at the default photo, I looked for the pop of color. I think, in this case (right, default palette) it is the light blue – Kona Fog. I don’t really consider that a *pop*, but in this context it is.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay:<\/a>

Of course, I tried again. I really tried to get some bright colors in the palette.<\/p>\n

I sort of succeeded.<\/p>\n

The Primrose and Cinnamon are fairly bright and the Primrose is definitely the *pop* color in this palette with Cinnamon doing some propping up. I have to say that the Moss does nothing for me. I think of the Ash as a background color. I really don’t know what to think about the Cobblestone or Taupe. They are too beige for me and not my colors.<\/p>\n

Yep. You guessed it. Around a I went again for another try.<\/p>\n

This palette is even worse in terms of dead. If I had to pick a *pop* color, I would be hard pressed to do so.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Seafoam? It is such a wimpy color, how can it pop? The Oyster is the background in my mind with the Cobblestone, Stone, Taupe and Sable boring me to death.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay:<\/a>
ColorPlay: Pressed Glass #3 – n.4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I decided on one last try.<\/p>\n

I didn’t make much of an effort. I was tired of this photo, so I just went for an easy palette.<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, this one is much better than any of the others. There are a couple of reddish\/pink tones plus the Steel works very well with them. It isn’t great, but I do think that working with the photo made me get to this palette.<\/p>\n

The Palette Builder<\/a> is a great and fun tool. Try it out! Let me know if you make anything with any of these palettes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
