    This brilliant photo titled Chandelier by the Li Family became my source of palette inspiration this week. I do love creating palettes from photos and there is a little method to madness – or should I say madness to my method. I squint and try to pick the prevalent colours – those that seem to…

    I fell in love with this image by jamelah e. – titled the scroll. She writes great reminiscences about her photos and I implore you to read this one – you won’t be disappointed. I knew it would also make a great palette and the range of colours in this image made it hard to…

    OK so I think I’ve  got coffee cups out of my system for a while. My last coffee related post – for this month anyway is my palette inspired by this serene photo Coffee Cup and Book by Rebecca Nichols. This afternoon I’m off to Rockhampton for 3 days of work. I’m not a fan…

    I set myself a challenge with this weeks palette, and that was to create a palette of colours I would not usually choose. My start was this gorgeous photo titled Colorful Living Room – I could absolutely see myself in that chair with a good book. This was my second attempt, the first still had…

    I couldn’t end my week of stripes without a palette and pattern. My palette was inspired by this photo (pictured in partial here) titled Red stripe by Glenn Scott. My pattern designs – my very own stripe (of course) – called Deck chair (left) and Four leaf hearts (right). I’ve had a fun week of…

    I had no photo inspiration for my palette today – just colours chosen on a whim and trying to channel the sometimes garish colours that appear in kimono fabric. Given that the universe seems to be reminding me of Japan this week I thought I’d put my recently purchased Seamless Studio to good use and…

    Oh how I love Colour Lovers – here’s my latest palette which has been aptly named Musee France. Also my pattern attempts – I created the left modern looking Fleur de Lis, which I accidently saved without fixing those three lines in the centre and now they will forevermore bug me. There doesn’t seem any…

    Using the gorgeous photo by Ji Young Yoon, I decided to create this candy palette. And in keeping with tradition I also created a couple of patterns but I just wanted to share one of them my aptly named and flowers for you – get it?. What I love about ColourLovers is how others use…

    I really like the retro colours created by my Instagram photos so I turned them into a palette. I had to then create two equally retro patterns, they are Feel the Connection (left) and A Busy Day (right). P.S. I always wanted a job naming paint colours, I think Colour Lovers is as close as…
