Remember the first day of school? Besides getting new shoes, my favorite item to start off school with was a brand new box of crayons. Sometimes it would be a box of 48, but most times it would be a big box of 64 Crayola® crayons, with the built-in sharpener. I was always jealous of the one boy, Jeffrey, who showed up with a box of 128 crayons every year. I never, ever saw a box that big in any of my neighborhood stores. I always took such good care of my crayons, putting each back in the same spot I got it from – an early sign of the meticulous engineer crossed with the artist in me!
I have always loved color – the brilliant colors of fall make it my favorite season. Fortunately, I have been able to indulge my love for color in both my decorative painting and jewelry careers. It’s always a challenge to see what color palettes work well together, from a design viewpoint. Today I was doing some research for my web site and spent hours looking through palettes at COLOURlovers. If you love color, take a peek at the site – but be sure to have lots of time to spare – it gets addictive!
Beautiful Fall Color!
