Project Spectrum



I have a new special project to work on this year: Project Spectrum 2009!! hosted by Lollygirl.com. I just love the idea of working with a specific colour palette and really going outside of my blue/green purple comfort zone :)

This year the projects are based around the four cardinal directions and their associated colours, seasons, elements and natural materials. LOTS of ideas, and it should be very interesting to see what other group members make. I think I will try to do a little of everything: glass beads, jewelry, knitting, wool dyeing (but not for every season!!).

Here is the breakdown for the year:

NORTH (March/April)
Color: Green
Material: Stones/Gems/Rocks
Season: Winter
Element: Earth

EAST (May/June)
Color: Yellow
Material: Wood
Season: Spring
Element: Air

SOUTH (July/August)
Color: Red
Material: Metal
Season: Summer
Element: Fire

WEST (September/October)
Color: Blue
Material: Glass
Season: Autumn
Element: Water

* it should be interesting to see what I come up with for east (yellow) and south (red) since I usually don't wear or work with those colours..
