My creative space…

November 18, 2010 66 Comments by Kirsty

I’m hooking up a stormy sea.

It’s a big huge giant leap for me…I had to put three colours/shades together! You may or may not have noticed that I am generally a one colour girl (or one & white/cream & that really doesn’t count). Some people are great with colour & pattern, they splash it about with gay abandon & ALWAYS get it just right. That ain’t me…interesting isn’t it?

Just a giant mess of chains & ends that I’m hoping will be a little something lovely.

Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

So interested to see what those little pieces become. I'm not very adventurous with colour, the most colourful thing I made recently was my nana rug, which I love but that's probably it for multiple colours from me…

The Pony skirt in the last post was a corker. I also have little waist / big bum syndrome but I prefer to call it shapely, so maybe this skirt is for me!

You know, I struggle to work with a limited colour palette (that's probably stating the obvious). I've tried a few times to paint with a really limited range of colours and it never works out. I think it's a real skill to work with a small range.

It's definitely interesting the way different people create. I love it.

It's funny, I'm drawn to colour combinations, but ones that are already put together for me. I've tried and tried to replicate the way colours are put together in Japanese design, but whenever I do it, they just look wrong.

I'm the same way with patterns, which is why I think I'll never really be able to quilt.

By the way, I love your new bit about comments, especially the PS. I was just thinking that very thought this morning!

That's a great photo! I lean toward a minimal number of colors, too. I love seeing color in other peoples' work, but it's not my forte.

There is no way I'm going to even try and guess what you're up to – but when you've sussed the secret to the colour combo thing, Grasshopper, could you let me know.

PS. Couldn't. Wait. For. Stem. Stitch. Lesson. Any. Longer…

Oh wow, you've got it with these colours. Adore them all together like that. Can't wait to see what you come up with… I'm not playing this week (not that I'm have a tantrum or anything) my day job has taken over my creative space… Watch out next week though! I'll just have to sit back and look at all the other wonderful creations… Pruxxx
