How Colour Influences My Work

A couple of my dearest artists (check out their blog)

are having

a talk regarding how colour influences

their work..

So I started thinking..How does colour

influence my work?

How does colour influence my mood?

Well...the answer is : A LOT!

The colour of the stones laying

on my work bench really influences

the final design...Looking at the

colour of the stone I start thinking

which shape, which metal would

make the stone's colour pop!

It sort of "decides" for me what

I 'm going to use..will lt be silver?

Or Brass?Or maybe Copper?

I also tend to choose stones

basing on their colour..I mean, I really

have to like the colour of the stone..

At times, it needs to be vivid, and other

times I prefer stones with a more

subtle,pale tone..

Colour influences my mood too..

My room needs to be painted

with colours I love..like blue, or grey,

or purple, or fuchsia..

Of course colour is not the only thing that

influences my work..nature gives

me a whole bunch of ideas..

even buildings.. ;)
