Those are very colorful Judith - and I do think that would translate well to felt.

Love your woolly colour wheel Lyn. How did you find mixing yellow with blue and red, did you find you needed more yellow than blue / red to get the secondary green and orange (as you might with paint)?

Hello Teri - to get the secondary colours I mixed equal amounts of each colour (I didn't weigh the wool I just guessed).
The same with the tertiary colours - equal amounts of a prime colour with a secondary colour.
I decided to use equal amounts of everything to play safe with my colour wheel, but when I do "freehand blending" I keep adding bits of colour until I'm happy with the result. Trouble is the colour is unrepeatable.

Nice link, Judith, reminds me of some pastels I did years ago.

Just thought I would show you what I made with my shades, tints and tones of green. A pair of very green wrist warmers. So much more fun with variation. These would have been really boring if I had only used one colour and shade throughout. Also felt brave and added pink and purple further away on the colour wheel. If I had added orange too I guess I would have had a triadic colour scheme - but I am not fond of green and orange together. They are intended for a new family member - an Australien women who recently married an uncle of mine (I have not met her in person yet). She does a lot of Story telling, and goes under the name "Lady of the forest". I think she likes green, so I hope she will appreciate these. :-)  |

Beautiful warmers Zara. I'm sure she will love them. The color scheme is perfect for a lady of the forest! Did you do that lovely lacework?

I love them Zara - they look exactly like what a "lady of the forest" would wear. I like the addition of the pink and purple beads. If you look at the color wheel, you used green and red (pink) which are complements and then added violet. If you wanted to add one more color to this scheme that would work really well it would be yellow. That makes your color scheme a rectangular tetrad - two sets of complements a space apart on the color wheel. My next post goes into these color schemes next week.

Wow Zara,
You have created the most gorgeous warmer for your new family member. All the shades of green, pink and purple goes perfectly together. The beading added a bit of glitter to them and the tatting lace really set them off... I am sure the lady of the forest will cherish them... Smile

They look just right for some one called Lady of the forest. I really like the lace (tatting?) at the ends to.

Wow, Zara, the arm warmers are just gorgeous! I love the detailed beading and the very feminine addition of lace or crochet at the edge. What a lovely gift those will make for your new family member.
