Here you can see the first step of my creative process is mixing up colors of clay.
The seasons do influence my color choices, along with fashion color trends. I'm feeling the spring blossoms this week.
I love heading to my Pinterest Color Palettes board for a quick dose of color inspiration. And then my Spring 2016 Trend board is filled with colors that are big this year and that I find beautiful. Trends are worth much if you're not loving them!
And also I have some color influences that make me swoon, those are usually from art history and I am still crushing hard on the Bloosmbury Group art and Vanessa Bell's Charleston House.
If you'd like a little trend and color forecasting you can check out the Pinterest boards of Stringing Magazine Submission Guidelines. They have boards of upcoming trends that they will feature in their magazine.
Of course nature is THE expert on color. I always have my camera on hand to capture inspirations like this tiger moth that landed on my front door one day.
And some colors are part of my personal palette as an artist and show up again and again.
What color combination are you most digging right now?

Oh those peach and yellows of your birdies are scrumptious, so very Spring!!
Hope I'm doing this right. But my favorite combo is a shiny salmon with an indigo blue with an antique white highlight.
I love your Floral Fantasy Post on your 2016 Winter Pantone Board on Pinterest. I like seeing these colors year round either as the main color or as the 'pop of color' accents with solid background clothing.

Love all of your color combo's. Very spring like. Gorgeous!!
Love your beads! So glad I spotted your FB post link to your website.
I'm making a lot of beads in transparent wispy spring colors! Love your color combos Heather!
I love your wonderful beads. I prefer the bold colors and colors of nature like green, blue and brown.
I am perpetually into navy and a bright but olive-y green.
Red used to be my favorite color but then turquoise snuck in and grabbed my soul. I usually tend towards blues, greens, coolness. Lately, I've been attracted to red, a cool red, but red nonetheless. Colorplay is always amazing.
I had to check out the Bloosmbury Group since I was not familiar with it. I fell in love with the pale muted blues in the pictures. I especially like how they are combined with golden yellows frequently.
thanks for sharing!!
I love color so much it's difficult to to pick a favorite for right now. I really like a combination of pink and green and orange and green. And turquoise. I will always go back to turquoise. ��
In terms of jewelry I am in love with icy blues, frosted silver and white right now. the place where I live is so hot and these colors are really cooling
I think I'm just a colour junkie! Hmm, my favourites do tend to be purples, blues and greens of all kinds.
This post is full of the most gorgeous photos. My favorite way to spend a Saturday morning! I love all colors so much, and bright colors make my heart jump the most. But lately, I've really fallen in love with all the pastels. Thanks for the links to all the great Pinterest boards!
After a long, grey Minnesota winter I'm yearning for BRIGHTS! I'm really digging turquoise mixed with a tangerine yellow/orange. I also always love a deep teal with orange. Yum!
Working on a necklace with tassel of buttercream silk ribbon. Pairing that with some shades of spring green and carved stone beads in neutral colors.
I bought a vintage Hawaiian shirt recently with the most beautiful colors, violet, orange, cinnamon brown, emerald, & a deep sapphire blue. they're really inspiring me right now!
Love the colour pallets you have created they are absolutely beautiful!

Coral and turquoise in beachy themes is making me happy right now.
Love the Tiger Moth...so beautiful! Great idea! I love purples and greens...
Lime green and purple are what I'm digging right now.
The spring colors are so beautiful, I saved them as a jpg. Always love your bird beads, Heather.
You're getting me in the mood for spring!! Love the new colors and as always your work is beautiful.
Mint, Navy & Coral. Loving it with White. But quality Navy beads are not the easiest to fine I've found.
