My rainbows

When it comes to clothing, I'm a black-and-white person (added by rare splashes of colour). I'd rather play with edgy, detailed tailoring and luxurious/smart fabrics than colours. The reason for this is that I want people to see me instead of my flaming red mini skirt or candy-coloured shirt.

This, however, doesn't mean that I don't appreciate colours. I do, very much. And to compensate the monochromity of my wardrobe, I like working with bright colours in my craft projects. The acid green shown in the previous post, for instance. But there is more where that came from. Especially after a very productive photo shooting with my friend Laura yesterday. I still need to sort through the photos, but you can expect some new items in the store soon.

Today, instead of showing any new finished objects, I will leave you with some rainbows I found around me this morning.

My dear Polychromos, set of 24. Although it doesn't show (yet), I actually do use them.

(And should you still yearn for more colours after this, you can visit Loretta's blog here. This post won my heart.)

Suur osa minu elust keerleb ümber musta ja valge. Must tint valgel paberil, must kiri valgel ekraanil... Isegi hommikukohvi joon ma mustvalgest tassist. Ja ka mu garderoob on suuresti must-valge (sekka mõned hoolikalt valitud (ühe)värvilised hilbud ja muidugi sinised teksad). Selle põhjuseks on mõtteviis, et ma tahan, et inimesed näeksid mind, mitte mu leekivpunast miniseelikut või kommikarva särki. Pigem eelistan mängida detailirohke rätsepatöö ja heade materjalide kui värvidega.

See aga ei tähenda, et ma värve hinnata ei oska. Lihtsalt, ma eelistan neid sõrmitseda, mitte kanda. Ja käsitöös kompenseerin seda, mis mu enda garderoobis puudub.

Uute valminud tööde asemel jätan siia täna jälje hoopis mõningate värviteraapiliste piltidega. Peagi olen tagasi uute fotodega - eilse põhjaliku fotosessiooni saak ootab sorteerimist. See tähendab, et varsti on ka poodi uut kaupa oodata.
