Welcome to the series Crafted Colour – Practical Colour Theory for Craft, which is aimed at helping you develop your colour confidence and craft with colour. Today we’re playing a fun game of I Spy to help you develop your eye for colour. 

I Spy Instagram Challenge!

Yesterday’s challenge was a tough one! I haven’t uploaded my photo to Instagram yet but I did find a couple of logos using a Complementary colour scheme.

Lets move on to the next colour scheme, Analogous colours. I think you might be surprised where you might find this one. Snap a photo and share it on Instagram with the hashtag #CraftedColour. Or share them with me on my Facebook Page.

Welcome to the wrap up of Crafted Colour – Practical Colour Theory for Craft, which is aimed at helping you develop your Colour Confidence and Craft with Colour.

What an amazing experience 31 days of Crafted Colour has been! I’d like to thank everyone for joining me for this series.

I’d also like to thank those who messaged me on Instagram and Facebook with their I Spy photos. It helped me to find some of the logos I shared in this post.  I’ve compiled a list below of the I spy Challenge posts. Remember this is an open ended challenge you can join in whenever you like.

For those of you familiar with colour theory and just want to know the steps to use to make your craft project amazing, I have a list of my Four Rules Of Crafted Colour below.

I am hoping to turn the first half of this series into an ebook with more details and illustrations. If you’d like to be notified when this is available you can leave a comment below with your email address, or if you prefer, use the contact me page to email me direct.

As for the second half of the series, if you like to see more colour palettes here’s a few to get you started.

Also you can let me know in the comments (or by contacting me privately) if you’d be interested in a monthly colour palette challenge with a linky style linkup.

Thanks again everyone for following along.

 

 

Colour and Mood

Welcome! This article is a part of Crafted Colour – Practical Colour Theory for Craft series, which is aimed at helping you develop your Colour Confidence and Craft with Colour. Today you will learn about the connection between Colour and Mood.

The Internet, and Pinterest in particular, is full of lovely info graphics and charts about the psychology of colour. Studies have been carried out detailing the power colour has to affect out moods and emotions. Colour charts, such as the one below, can help you to choose a colour and mood to start your craft project with.

Let’s say I’ve decided to create a wall hanging like this one for my family room. I want it to make me feel  fun, light and summer-y. Looking at various charts like the one above I could choose yellow-green (fun, uplifting cheerful), turquoise (fresh, fun, summer-y) or even pink (sweet happy youthful). I can then choose a colour scheme, maybe split complementary with white as a neutral to keep it light. (Remember the Colour Schemes are Complementary, Split Complementary, Triadic, Tetradic, Monochromatic and Analogous.)

Crafted Colour Rule 2

Then, consider if you need to add a Neutral (black, grey white etc) and play with the Colour Values. That’s all there is to it really.

So, what’s in store for the remainder of the month? Join me for some I Spy games using the Colour Schemes mentioned above and then we can have fun creating with some colour palettes.
