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

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.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay<\/a>

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 are all nice. The Cayenne adds some zing.<\/p>\n

I did think it was interesting that most of the circles were clustered in the top of the photo. Not all, but most.<\/p>\n

It is a little dusty for my tastes – the colors are not clear. It is good that I could try again.<\/p>\n

The second palette, the first where I moved the circles, was much more focused on the reds. I intentionally kept the circles to the top row of vessels and tried to get as many reds as possible.<\/p>\n

As you can see there is a Peach, Pale Flesh and Spice, which are tones and shades of red, but not strictly red.<\/p>\n

There might not be enough contrast in this palette for a quilt where one really wanted to show off the piecing, but for a subtly shaded quilt, it would be great.<\/p>\n

In the third palette, my second, I tried to go for bright and cheerful.<\/p>\n

Success! The combination seems cheerful to me and all of the colors go together.<\/p>\n

This palette also has Peach in it and I noticed that the peach looks very different next to the Butterscotch than it does above next to the Sienna. I have always wanted to play around with putting one color next to a bunch of different ones to see the effect of the different colors on the one. Someday, perhaps.<\/p>\n

My third, the fourth total palette, uses the middle of the image. This is a challenge on a couple of levels based on the question “what color is clear?”. Well, our eyes say something different than the Palette Builder tool. The Palette Builder tool has to assign a Kona fabric color. I knew that this palette would be wintery.<\/p>\n

It is. The greys and blues are colors I would use for a snowy landscape quilt. Some of the darker greys are a little depressing for me, but I do like the Silver and the Oyster is okay, too.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay<\/a>
ColorPlay July 14 – n.4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted to see if I could make a very different palette in the same area of the photo. I ended up moving the circles down to the next row on the photo.<\/p>\n

My idea didn’t work very well. The two palettes are very similar with the addition of Bison (hilarious name if you have ever seen a Bison).<\/p>\n

Stone shows up, which is repeat, as does Ash, which is not. Ash is another one of the Konas that I really like.<\/p>\n

I was running out of photo, but I decided to try with the white and clear pressed glass one more time and see what I could come up with.<\/p>\n

Another wintery landscape palette with some more blue tints added. Some of my favorite Konas are included: Ash, Snow and Silver. The Shale was an unexpected addition. I think the Shale gives the whole palette an icy feel.<\/p>\n

I think I went in with a different mindset this time and was much more openminded about the palettes. 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
