Broken Fingers Art




I was on Esty looking at Jewelry and ran across these designs by Erin of Broken Fingers Art. These wonderful whimsical designs of bright colors and shapes are hand drawn on plastic with color pencils and ink. What a wonderful treat!!!! Shown below are a few color palettes taken from her designs.

Joie de Vivre

Kimberly Applegate is a painter. She paints chairs. No, I do not mean she physically paints chairs but she creates painting with chairs as the theme. The painting above is named "Dream in color (part IV)". I made a color palette from this painting. I loved the greens and blues mixed together.

The next painting is also of part of the "Dream in Color (part III)" series. The bright yellows, blues and greens called out to me.

Marimekko



Fiesta Combo
Fiesta Brown
Fiesta light brown

Marimekko corporation is one of the leading Finnish textile and clothing design companies. Established in 1951 this company has high-quality clothing and interior textiles. I especially liked the designer fabrics.

The fabric pattern I selected is called Fiesta by designer Elina Keltto. I selected this pattern because of the colors and pattern could be used to inspire a jewelry design. There are three color patterns available, I used two of them for my palettes that were similar in colors.

Serenpidity


Serendipity
Too Cool Serendipity

I designed this necklace called "Serendipity". I love color so much I would use as many colors as I could in every design. I came close to doing that with this necklace.
