    Once again I thought this would be an easy task this week as fuchsia is such a bold garish colour that I assumed it would prevail in my colour search. Once again I almost gave up on the old search tool but that was until I found the top picture…TOP – Jellybeans – A Spring…

    Once again my hexadecimal (named) colour does not match my mind’s eye but here’s what I came up with: TOP: From Yumi Yumi’s store – I was at the point of giving up on the old colour search tool when this print appeared. I am already a Yumi Yumi convert and just last month bought…

      Most of you know I’m returning part time to university this year. In preparation I’m taking what’s called a Study Link course in Writing for University, just to get my head back into academic thinking and writing.

        My colour of the week (plum) wasn’t the same in hexadecimal as it was in my mind. But I decided to stay true to my method and go with it and here’s what I found. TOP – Over the Rainbow Design was found using the old colour search. This was a really hard…
