Finished a macrame five weave bracelet base inspired by this week’s palette challenge 😁

For @gumnut-logic's pallete challenge.

You're gonna be seeing a lot of Gordon art from me over the next few days.

Love him.🧡💛🤍💙

Okay, so I've spent almost a week fussing with this, and it's not going to get better, so I'm sending it out into the world.

This is my answer to Week 1 of Nutty's Palette Challenge, a computer generated simulation of a cross stitch design (because 1 week to design and stitch a pattern isn't going to happen with me).

It's supposed to be a tocan sitting on a branch with a hibiscus flower in the background. Maybe if I fudged and used a larger palette? Or ditched the flower?

Definitely a learning experience, and at least a base to start working off.

Next instalment of Nutty's pallete challenge: Spring flower inspired Lady Penelope.

Is she on a date? Is she at a fancy garden party? Is she having tea on the patio?

It's up to you to decide.❤️🤍💚

Okay, I’m possibly nuts, actually, probably nuts, but I’ve been looking for a way to activate my art a bit more. I can draw, paint, whatever and I have a studio full of glorious equipment that is barely getting used.

I had thought to start a sketch book, but the problem with that is that not all my media can be supported in a sketch book and plus I am horribly hard to tie down into one thing (you may have noticed).

I was pondering away and it occurred to me that the one thing that links all my art and craft media is colour. This combined with the fact that I have a pile of beads lined up on my desk in colour combos waiting for me to action something with them. They are like mini palettes.

So what if I come up with a small combination of colours every week and do whatever with those colours?

I know I’m not the first to have this brain wave, but it struck me today as something I could do, so I’m doing it. Initially for the month of February (alongside FabFiveFeb, which I’m also prepping) and see what happens. It may fizzle into nothing due to being back at work :( but at the very least I’ll end up with a little bit of creative stuff done?

So I’m slapping it here, in case anyone would like to join in.

Outline

I will post a small palette of colours, probably on the Sunday (except for Week One which is down below).

Take the colours, which will not be precise, because I’m too lazy to get out my Pantone swatches, and colour matching sucks across monitors and printers and yeah, it’s a graphic design nightmare. So take the approximate colours and do something with with them. Art, craft, traditional, digital, performance, big, small, using all the colours, one of the colours, a derivative of the colours, fanworks or not fanworks, whatever works. I know, getting the creative brain to produce anything is a pain in many body parts. And writers, if this floats your boat, grab it and let’s go sailing :D

Post it to your blog (or not, but I’d love to see it anyway) and tag with #nuttypalette (the whole challenge title is too long and it abbreviates to npc which while I love Ryan Reynolds, isn’t really what I’m looking for :D )

Week One

Here we go.

This week’s palette I stole from my macrame stash. These colours went zing after hunting through my pile of cords and I’ve started a five-weave macrame bracelet with them. But I also have other ideas, so let’s see what happens :D

When I had to slap together the logo above I figured this was the colour set this week, so I used it.

So if you would like to join in, have at it. Write, draw, paint, craft, scribble, whatever works :D

It should also be noted that I’m definitely going to include some of the Thunderbirds colours along the way cos I can’t help myself.

Wanna play?

Thank you to all those who participated in this challenge last week. Remember, there are no deadlines on any of my challenges, only the ones you set yourself. The aim is to inspire and that does not have a time limit :D

Week Four

Totally self indulgent this week as I take a comment from @gaviiadastra​ and run with it.

This week is FISHTANK!

If you would like to join in, have at it. Write, draw, paint, craft, scribble, whatever works :D

Week Two

This palette I fell in love with week before last and created a bracelet with it. I think it would be fun to explore further, so here it is. And yes, these are Johnny’s colours - this is my official name for this palette :D

And here is the actual palette, or as close as i could get it.

So if you would like to join in, have at it. Write, draw, paint, craft, scribble, whatever works :D
