Hi everyone it is time to start our second quarter challenge. This quarter we are talking about generating a colour pallet form a photo. I made a blog post about it with some different pallet generators. feltingandfiberstudio.com/2015/04/03/second-quarter-challenge/ There are many more on line . Pick a palate and make a scarf or hat or painting or anything you are inspired to do. Then show us. Show us the picture you used for the palette and if you use a program a link and then what you made with the pallet. Have fun!

I was just saying to my husband that I needed something to jog my creative mojo and literally, in the next breath, as if by magic – just like Mr Benn – the 2nd quarter challenge was there, ready to be clicked. Thanks!

This is GREAT! And you can use it on pinterest pictures too! (Not to copy the design, but the color scheme.)
Thanks for sharing!

Remember that you don't have to use the photo for inspiration other than using the colors. The design could be something completely different than the photo.

Thanks Ruth, that's even more fun. Just stumbles across another fun palette builder - a fibre related one - from Moda fabrics! I like that you can easily move the selections around & they give nice colour names. blog.modafabrics.com/palette-builder/

When I have used a photo for felting inspiration, it’s usually a vacation pic of a landscape/seascape, and I choose the colors based on whAT I see in the photo. So this challenge will be an interesting one to explore. Will the colors be the same as I would choose by eyeballing the photo, or will they be different?

Oh my, what a fun thing to do, I chose a very plain picture of a black tulip and put into the palette builder you suggested in your blog Ann, www.palettefx.com/ very revealing, the palette is full of colour ranges that I couldn't see just looking at the pic. I did try a few other palette builders but this one I liked for the range of colour.

Your silk paper is beautiful. Can your write on the silk paper when they dried. I was wondering if you could use the silk papers in a wool felted journal?

It looks good Carole. Did you used any kind of glue or stiffener to the top of the silk paper at all?

Judy it's actually cocoon strippings, they have a natural glue within them, so you lay it out thinly, spray with water and then iron between parchment paper, and hey presto :-) to add merino is more difficult and fiddly, I've added some as you can see, but I've ordered a special textile medium which should make this bit easier, also it's so easy to freehand stitch too.
