There are some colors I do not like to use in my artwork.
What those might be isn’t entirely obvious because at first glance, it seems I use all the colors of the rainbow. Those, are just serendipitous.
I don’t like, actually hate, yellow, and pink makes me ill. I tend to avoid white, but I try not to when I shouldn’t. Pale colors are generally ignored, and purples, which tend to lean more towards the hippie psychedelic new age tarot reader gypsy side, don’t often work with what I’m envisioning.
In my digital artwork, I’m much more of a stubborn stickler over what colors I’ll base an image on. However, in something I am selling, I have to view these reviled colors in a different light. Someone else may love them.
Two rosaries I’ve made so far have surprised me. One is entirely white, with a red bed at its center. I was a bit worried about making an all white rosary as I thought it might just fade away, but it is quite vibrant, and one of the most beautiful. I still prefer my all black rosary, the Severus Snape Mourning Lily Anglican Rosary, which is traveling to its new home. I want each of my rosaries to be unique, but I am so tempted to make an all black rosary for myself. It cannot be the same as Snape’s though.
This one is inspired by Isaiah 1:18 and so I have called it the Isaiah 1:18 Anglican Rosary.
This is the beautiful Severus Snape Mourning Lily rosary.
The small rosary I made today is yellow and white – specifically, yellow topaz quartz and white jade, and pearl white seed beads. I’ve no photos of it, but will have a few in the next few days.
The topaz quartz looks more like gold, except when the light strikes and you can see clear, yellow, highlights. It’s actually much prettier than I expected.
So, with that in mind, my next project will be quite a bit brighter with some very curious agate beads that are called “dragon vein”. They come in a variety of colors, but this is what I’ll be working with:
Unusual, aren’t they?
