Designers Guide to Color - BOOKS 1 & 2

 

I'm exploring colors for my dragons and dragon earrings.  I have a set of 5 books that are nothing but COLOR inspiration. 

 

These books are available used pretty cheap on Amazon. 

I completed my set with books 4 & 5 last week. 

 

I get into ruts of my happy colors.  Purple, Blue and Green (especially Teal Green)

 

 

 

 nothing but pages and pages of color combinations

 

 

 

 So book one looks like this

 

 

This book has mostly 2 color combinations

 

 

 

 

but is has a few 3 color combinations and

I have already beaded dragon earrings from them

 

 

and I plan to make a dragon from this

color combo in the bottom right corner

 

 

 

This is book 2

It has lots of 3 color combos

 

 

 and some 2 color combos

 

 

lots of combos I would never put together myself

but are very nice

 

 

 I am not into the pastel colors

 

 

 but bright vivid colors are my fave

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Time to get back to my beading

 

I hope you go looking for color on your own

 

I have gone to fabric web sights and gotten inspiration

 

I used a 3 color parachute cord to get a combo so I went looking for more multi color inspiration

 

Where do you get your color inspiration?
