Default Colors




It is OK Dennis , we aren`t in any hurry , colors are something that
are always with us.
I have Always liked Varigated threads , both in knitting and in
embroidery,
When i am not sure about an effect i roll some threads on a Ruler and
look at it ,,, from near by and afar ,,, until i feel it is OK ,
For me some colors also carry historical memories, and i found myself
`working` with those colors as a kind of Terminology in my fiberart.
Until my 50th i never wore Jeans now i think it is a very suitable
color for me to wear , but i don`t wear it in pants, but in skirts and
shirts. It is partly of course , because our minds get USED to see a
color, and than either hate it or like it.
When i started weaving my weaving teacher told me to try and work with
color combinations which i didn`t like , so that my mind will make
more efforts to come up with patterns ,, he was right , Color
combinations that we like ,, we use Automaticly, and stop thinking
about how we used them .
