Colour Combinations

I have been looking at and recording colour combinations of my selected favorite plastic colours. I have chosen to specifically use Black, Bobbly Grey, Misty Grey, Misty White and Clear. I have been arranging my samples together in order to find collections of three colours that compliment each other. I have chosen to use:

Black, white, clear
Bobbly grey, clear, black
Grey, clear, white

I needed make sure I didn't have any clashing grey on grey combinations.

Colour Trend Spring '14

Now that I know I would like two colours in garment I've been looking at currrent trends of colour for spring 2014. I have done some research and found that Pantone was a reliable source for advisers of season's colour trends.

I think I'm most interested in the white with placid blue additions or placid blue with violet tulip. I wanted to keep my colours pale and pastel as I think too strong a colour would distract or take away from the form. 

I have been in the workshop for the last two days learning how to dye fabrics. I've been playing with the concentration of dyes in order get a match closest to placid blue. 

Colour Addition to Fabric Folds

After testing colour additions to my folds, I picked my favorite and got it digitally printed on silk. After a day of drying I peeled it off the paper back and folded into shape. This is a very effective use of colour, as it emphasizes the folds than distracts from them.
