A sample of Design Seed's holiday magic |
In my jewelry designs I've generally stuck to monochromatic color schemes or safe combos such as turquoise and black, but I want to start venturing into more varied palettes, like the one above. It's a little unexpected but feels so dramatically ... right.
I blogged a few months back about Beverly Ash Gilbert's Beaded Colorways, and she uses the same technique of pulling a color palette from a striking photo. Can anyone recommend an app that does this? I believe several exist, but would love to hear from folks with firsthand experience.
Oh, yes! Brandi at Brandi Girl blog did a great tutorial for making these palettes. I just did the tute a couple of weeks ago and have been making palettes out of everything. Here's the url: http://www.brandigirlblog.com/2010/08/tip-share-how-to-make-a-color-palette.html#.Ts0fYXHub0s
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Oh, and also, if you have questions about it or get confused, Brandi's great about helping you out! Ask how I know this. haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Sally. I think I may have seen Brandi Girl's tutorial a while back. I thought it was just for Photoshop, and I don't have Photoshop, so I didn't look at it that closely, but I see now that she has other alternatives.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is such a great color palette! Glad Sally could help you out on the palette software. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYes, Brandi's tutorial was for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Here are two sites that generate palettes on their own.
