Colour Mixing Purple Hues for Spring at Lottie Of London Jewellery

 

I grabbed a few hours this week to work on my next colour mixing project for Spring, ultra violet is 2018's Pantone colour of the year and as I haven't had the opportunity to work many purples into my creations this was the perfect time.

 

So here's the first of my colour mixing venture with purple hues, I wanted to keep these light for the upcoming spring and summer season.

 

I think this makes the perfect combination for a new addition to our long statement necklace collection.

 

I also tried another purple colour mix as seen below with two additional colours, a soft peach and yellow hue.  I love this combination its reminds me perfectly of spring especially crocuses. 

I've yet to create something with this colour combination but I am thinking a Klimt design would be perfect to capture all the colours.

In the meantime our new Purple Long Bead Necklace will be available for purchase from the 22nd March so keep your eyes peeled for our latest addition.

Red Long Statement Necklace Commission | Polymer Clay at Lottie Of London

I love to colour mix at Lottie Of London Jewellery and my recent commission request was no exception.

I was asked to create my popular long statement necklace with red hues to coordinate with a clients coat.

When mixing primary colours such as green and blue you can shift the colour to lighter or darker resulting in a pale blue or navy blue for example. Working with red is a little different although adding black will darken a red into burgundy, adding white will quickly start to turn the colour pink and yellow will shift the red into a coral hue before becoming orange.

So it was decided to stick with the obvious bold red and shift into burgundy.

So after some colour mixing and testing I created a selection of seven red hues for my client to make her final selection, as seen below.

Once the final colours had been decided I set about creating the necklace and matching drop earrings.

Colour Mixing our New Long Statement Necklace

Here's a new colour mix I created for Autumn, the colours are a little more muted to suit the more neutral colours you find come Autumn and Winter.

I have been pinning away lately on my Autumn Style Inspiration Boards but I have to admit its so tricky to find bolder styles and I'm really having to hunt them down so I love making these colourful necklaces as they are great to add that touch of colour.
