It’s Spring here in New England, although it’s a bit chilly today… I’m so happy to see green again. The crocuses and daffodils are out and I saw turtles sunning themselves this weekend. Time to play with some color I think.
Are you stuck in a color rut? Not really sure what to do with a color wheel? There are some great tools on the web for easily finding color schemes. They are meant for website design but you can use them for polymer clay, beading, gems, or any other media.
