These sites certainly make light work of editing & customizing that certain something – loved the idea of printing your own CD cases ; will think of it when I next need one.
I enjoyed “Word Mosaic” (just for fun), Framer, Palette – wonder how useful this could be for identifying colours – could it be matched easily to other applications such as handcraft silks or amateur pattern making – as mentioned by DT&G Design; DTG magazine “Patterns is another area where the artist must harmonize colors, or else the art fails.” Identifying and combining colours is not as easy as you might think. I tried a sample photo & was pleased by the result – how clever. Is it easier on a computer or in a book? NSL have books for helping you choose the right colours for your home and garden – would you take a photo & ask palette to do the work or pour over a colour chart in a book ; both are fun, both however would only be the first step!

I really love the look of your blog Vera - you have done a great job. That palette generator looks interesting - I'll have to check it out1
ReplyDeleteThanks craftykat - I had a lot of fun trying different things out; not sure if I'll use any of these sites again, but at least you know what is out there.
