Colour Lovin' 06: Three Stones
Colour Lovin' is a series of colour palettes based on images I love. It is my hope that these colour palettes offer some visual stimulation and inspire creatives who might find themselves in need of a starting point or creative prompt!
These three stones (and two bracelets) reside on my bedside table and each has its own story. I'm not normally one for the power and spirituality of stones and gems, but these 3 have specific stories, and I love nature's little pieces and how varied and different they can be.
The light pink stone was given to me by friends before moving and starting school. I can't remember the kind of stone it is right now (sorry Kerry!) but in their note they told me it was to help me remember I am loved and feel better if I get homesick while I'm at school. And I do, so it's been a nice little reminder to have around.
The blue is a weird story, actually. The same friend as above came with me to another friend's place after drinks downtown, the same night as I was given the pink stone! He broke his blue crystal and realized there were equal parts as there were people in the room and took it as a sign that we should all have a piece. It was a great night until a certain time of night where alcohol caused the energy to change and someone was saying things they maybe shouldn't. Nothing bad enough to make me not want to keep this piece of crystal, though!
The red stone was given to me by my fella when we were in Greece. He combed the stoney beach in Rhodes to find me some pretty stones, and this was one of them. I like to remember the warmth of that trip, both physically and mentally between the two of us.
Do you collect crystals or stones? Tell me the story of your collection!

I am so excited to be including this photo of this beautiful and stylish and thoughtful lady, Rae from Love form Berlin. As soon as I saw it in one of her Anatomy of an Outfit posts, I wanted very badly to include it in Colour Lovin'. Everything about it is so dreamy and serene; it could the the cover of a modern fairy tale book. Rae - you are a fabulous, green-haired goddess!
Be sure to check out Rae's blog for more magical photography and many beautiful words.

I took a series of photos like this at breakfast one morning, and only later did I take a look and realize how ghostly the images had turned out. I call them my "Coffee Ghost" shots. All the colours are soft, but there are some really nice complimentary hues going on and I really love how they work together in the photo.

The cutest little cocktail "gear" shop in Kensington Market, Toronto. I've not gone in yet - just admired the outside. I love the colours in this part of town, and the vintage shopping!

Often, I find myself feeling grateful for the every day beauty. Grateful for something as simple as a fruit bowl in your mom's kitchen; a life-filled indoor plant, vibrant ceramics, and the warm tones of citrus.

Colour Lovin' .o1
I am starting a new series this year that allows me to share a) cool things I see or find, and b) really cool colours and little colour palettes! Sometimes as designers/illustrators/makers it's helpful to have prompts. It often helps to have a starting point for colours, and sometimes to have colours as a starting point. So for both myself and for anyone who might need some visual stimulation, here you go - have some colour!
I loved this combination of colours that I saw on a walk with my friend. As sad as it is that the red dot means it'll be chopped down soon, it was visually interesting and really caught my eye. The colours in this photo are completely unedited. Hashtag no filter. Ha!
