Focus on life: Finding the Fun in Photography - Be Colorful

I Have Been playing with Color since Monday!!

Colorful:

a)full of interest; lively and exciting.

b)having much or varied color; bright.

This week I have been participating in Heather Powers' Art of Color Polymer Clay Boot Camp, learning to mix clay colors, create color palettes, and best of all...making beads!

So When Sally Russick sent us our prompt for Focus on Life, I was all in on Being Colorful!

First a little Color Theory:

Here are two color wheels we constructed from either cyan, yellow and magenta, or red, yellow and blue. 

Then, we took complimentary colors from one of the wheels, and constructed a complementary palette. 

We mixed the colors chosen with black, white, gray, and each other. 

After doing a few test beads, I tried making some beads that coordinate with a scarf I like.

Two sections of the scarf.

And here are the beads that were inspired by the colors of the scarf.

Hey, I like them!

Let's see what aspects of color the others have worked with. If you are interested in finding out more about Heather's class, you can visit her website HumbleBeads.
