Rose Gold Color Recipe by KatersAcres

Many polymer artists, especially those who are making series or duplicates of items, rely on color recipes to make uniform pieces.  For those of you who have been with me for a while now, you know that I rarely use recipes. Why? Because I like that all my pieces are different in color, that I don’t repeat colors, and that nothing I make is ever identical. To me, it adds to the special nature of my sculptures. But I’m not the norm when it comes to polymer artists.

Creating a Coordinating Color Palette

‘How to make your own color palette’ can sound difficult, right? Well, I am part of a lot of different polymer clay groups on FaceBook. Some I am more active on than others, and some I just lurk. Last week, someone asked how to make a color palette. There were lots of ideas thrown out, many of which were great. Most of my items are made from custom color palettes that coordinate. Making your own palette is easy and the more you do it, the easier it gets.  There are lots of ways to make your own color palette, but this is the method that I prefer.

Creative Road Blocks

As I write this post, my to do list has seemingly over 1 million things on it to get done.  Jeepers. I really don’t like that feeling.  In fact, often it is so much of a barrier for me that become a severe road block to my creativity.  Are you the same way?  When you have a million things to do, where do you begin to get inspiration?  For me, I simply pick some colors that look nice together and see where that palette will take me.  Why I’m “dry” finding a striking color palette is the beginning of that “ah ha” moment for me in my studio.  Since this color palette was such an inspiration to me this week, I’m hoping that it will be a springboard to your own creativity.

Having a Color Palette is Essential to an Artist by KatersAcres

Having a Color Palette is Essential to an Artist by KatersAcresDo you ever have one of those times where the ideas just don’t come?  You sit … think … try to create … and after several hours, all you’ve done is play around and there’s nothing “new” produced?  Well I’ve been so busy that aside from my orders, I’ve had one of those spells.  I’ve frankly been in a creative rut.  And it’s not so much that I don’t have ideas, for I have an entire notebook of ideas…but nothing sounds appealing to me!  *Sigh*  So to help me to get through these times I have done several things to help myself get “into gear.”  I’m sure that some of these ideas may help you as well.   Continue reading Inspiration for the Creatively Dry Using Color Palettes
