Sometimes it is easy to find inspiration, and sometimes not.  Lots of things inspire me – my children’s art work, changing seasons, craft group and their fabulous projects.  For those who need a little colour inspiration now and then there is a real trend of web sites and blogs dedicated to colour pallettes.  I love these.  They can give us a jolt, open our eyes to the beauty in simple things and help us to think about colour and its affect on us physically and emotionally.  And they are so pretty.  I have a couple of favourites.  The latest on my radar is Color Collective.  Lauren Willhite has an inspiring blog full of interesting and beautiful photos and she creates colour pallettes based on these photos.  Definately worth a look.  You won’t be dissapointed.

Up above I have used some of Lauren’s colour pallettes as an inspirational guide for a new garland.  The brights in row 3 really spoke to me.  Miss Viking liked the soft rainbow second from the bottom.  Do you have a favourite?  Leave a comment if you like and I will make the most favourited up for a giveaway.
