Inspiration photos from Porthleven beach

Whilst having a wonder along the beach yesterday the late afternoon light was just beautiful and really set off the orange tones in the rocks.

Sunny days

With all this beautiful weather at the moment we've found it hard to stay inside and get any work done! Its perfect beach weather and me and the little man have been out for lots of walks to the harbour for an ice cream. Its nice to see such blue skys, clear waters and there were even dolphins down by the pier at the weekend!

My Design Process- Colour Palette: Reds and Blues

This image is so striking and bold, I usually wouldn't choose a colour palette with two dominant colours but I think this one really works. The few scattered pale barnicles really adds a beautiful highlight to the overall image and draws your eye in.

My Design Process- Color palette: pastles and navy

This colour palette is of beautiful pastels with a deep navy blue, I love the gentle feel it gives, very elegant and subtle.

My Design Process- Colour Palette: Monochrome and pink

So I want to have a little play around with colour ideas before I start my experiments and fabric sampling so I have an idea of the colours that I will be using together and I can also experient with the proportion and develop my colour palette as I develop my textile art ideas.
