All month I've been thinking "ugh, I'm not putting any yellow in my (pale blue and beige) room, it'll have to be Clauds". But yellow, with the apricot of Claud's walls is also seriously ugh in my book. And Clauds no use on the topic. If you ask Claud what colour anything is she shrieks "pink" (erm, also pretty ugh). You can see how I might benefit from this colour therapy thing.
Anyway, in an effort to guide our Claud towards an appreciation of colour her mother simply does not possess we came up with a little something...
Proudly made from 'pure stash' ie I didn't shell out for a thing (a relief after the never ending expense of dolly housing, although I might have to break my resolution and buy a little orange ribbon) I made this yellow mappy do-dad as part of a cute colour id chart whatsit, as yet not completely finished. You see that's the thing about colour too. You add a bit and it turns into a flippin rainbow before you know it!
Hello Yellow
How d'ya do blue
G'day green,
Hey! grey
I'm a bit stuck on pink ("put it there pink"?) and orange ("enchante (with accent) orange?), and have enough op-shopped embroidery hoops and maps to add white ("alright white"?) and (possibly "pleased to meet you" purple. So any ideas on salutations for these colours gratefully received!
I think this shalt also suffice as an Our Creative Space too.
i like the mixing with maps and hoops!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea, love it. Who would have thought embroidery rings and maps. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Put it there Pink and enchante orange sound good to me.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! I'm sure there's some dreadful old knock knock joke the kids say which has the punchline "Orange you glad to see me!" But that's not what you're after, is it? "Fancy a drink, pink?" and "On the pull, purple?" are perhaps a little adult... I'm hopeless, aren't I?! Stick with yours! xxxx
ReplyDeletethanks Max for leaving a comment on my tea party post, funny I just found a few more metres of the red and green basket print fabric, gorgeous came from Japan!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Max, I expect it will be copied.
ReplyDeleteIt's taking me ages, lots of clicking to read your posts btw...don't know why, I'm hopeless and not really interested in computer stuff. But, I shall persevere cause I love your blog.
How's that dolls house of yours, I mean Claude's, coming along? I've been wondering...
What a great display - I love how you've added all those colours - fabulous idea!

Hmmmm....pucker up pink? Oy orange?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
Brilliant! Thanks! "Oi Orange" it is x
DeleteThey look great, Max. "Think Pink" and "Nothing Rhymes with Orange"?? x
DeleteThank you :0) I need an accent in there, for "blamange orange" !
DeleteAlways gorgeous and I can't believe you've found so many hoops. Happy to spot you some orange ribbon (Let's keep this process free!) perfectly pink? openly orange? Not salutations I realise! You could always go to the Maori colours and use Make Mine Mawhero (pink) You Little Cracker Karaka (orange)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Miriam. I've just found some more hoops too, cleaning out under the bed so more colours to come. am thinking "how's the craic, black" as I also rootled out a solar system map! heh!
DeleteVery clever way to bring colour and a little bit of fun into the room:) Looking forward to seeing the other colours, Cyndy
