Last night I tried playing around with the Pantone 2016 Color of the Year.
This year they picked Rose Quartz, so pale pink. So I used a sparkling pale pink cubic zirconia at the top of each earring, and a row of milky pink Swarovski crystals along the bottom edge.
As always, Pantone offered up some of the other colors to
coordinate it with their Color of the Year. This year, they include Serenity (a pale bluish periwinkle), Silver Gray and a pale,
dingy green color they call Lint. So here is my first attempt at working with these colors that were handed down from above.
Ah, lint... I still can't believe
they named a color Lint. I don't know about you, but the lint around my house comes in lots of colors besides pale, dingy green. I almost hope they pick Lint as the Color of the Year in 2017.
The tutorial for Ginkgo Leaf Earrings is for sale in my Etsy shop. Thanks for looking. Have a better than average December.
what a funny name - lint ... I didn't realize they called one of the colors that. I do like it, but probably would have picked another name!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say ... love the earrings! it is such a sweet pattern and I like the color combination ... like a soft paisley
ReplyDeleteThank you. The name of lint is so distracting it's hard to forget what we were doing sometimes. :D
