Title: What Colours?
Post by: EJ on April 03, 2008, 03:52:21 PM
I'm making small felt pots for my website and I have so many colours I could go on forever?

So far, either made or sorted and waiting (all are 2 or 3 toning colours blended in stripes) are:

Peacock
Bluebell
Storm

Raspberry Ripple
Hot Pink
Mulled Wine

Hot Poppy
Flame
Orange'n'Lemon

Lime'n'Lemon
Dark Olive
Light Olive
Spring Green
Forest Green

Butterscotch
Custard Cream
Sunshine Harvest

LilacTime
Lavender Fields
Heather Moors
Violet Haze


If you were looking is there anything you'd like to see in any of the groups please?

The Natural range is simply Light, Medium and Dark.

All those sound good EJ, would love to see the butterscotch one as well as the peacock and raspberry ripple.

Would love to see autumn shades EJ. Just reread post and noted I forgot to answer. I also love cerise pinks and lime greens.

Yes - completely forgot about Autumn - that would fit in the red/orange group or the yellowish.

Cerise could be my "Hot Pink" (it's in the pipeline).

Turquoise blends well with bright pink & green too.  I felted some wool that was those shades, and it looks nice.

I like the sound of the groups with peacock, the raspberry ripple one & the hot poppy.  What about some psychedelic colours EJ.  Orange and pinks together with a tad of green or blue.  That would look great!!

Well the thing about the Urchin Pots is that they're all toning blends (Raspberry Ripple doesn't have any vanilla).

The dishes in dyed wools do have contrasts - but I only have a couple ATM and haven't thought out the colour ranges.

I think seeing them or maybe just the wools laid out in a picture would be good

Give me a day or two and you can have pics - the O'n'L and L'n'L are hiding somewhere ATM - they weren't in the box with the others.

They look great EJ, I particularly like the bright ones (raspberry, 'in the pink' and the tangerine one)  :)

Thanks Helen.

I do have some more to make and take pics  - but need a change for a day or two.

Ta JJ - when I get some kraftbrown boxes from the Tiny Box peeps I'll offer gift packaging with OakMoss as an option.

EJ, not ignoring this thread. But you know I already love your felted items  ;D And anything in green is good for me.
I got samples of the Tiny boxes today, I'm very impressed. Gonna get some printed up with my logo. Your "urchins" will look great in them  :)

They look really lovely Elaine. 

One of the things I love about being a member of this forum, is the inspiration I get from looking at other peoples websites, and what you are all doing.  It makes me want to try everything.  You are all very clever people.
