Colors

Dennis was intersted in Hesira`s work with colors ,, and i suggested that we could all discuss it here .

Colors are a natural gift, but the way we see colors is partly influencedby by the health of our eyes and genetics , while our reaction to ceratain colors might be influenced by our culture [and a lot of times by economy]. Some cultures regard black as a SAD cvolor , some think White is the sad color.

I personally think and feel that colors `TALK ` to me. I am facinated by Multy colored objects , threads and cloth, i preffer them over monochromatic things.

If asked what my favorite color is i would not really know i have some favorites , but they might change, with seasons, or moods.

I learned that in fiber one color influences it`s neighbours, in weaving , knitting crochet. I have learned that i have to really LOOK at a color to absorb it to hear it`s voice , to see how we can WORK TOGETHER ,,,, mirjam

Mirjam,

Sorry it took so long to answer.

I feel the same way about colors, the time that I am in changes my favorite color.

I ask Gail many times what colors I shold use on a project, 70% or more I go by her advice. She can quote the color wheel to you by memory almost, that is a big help some times.

Yes, color can talk, it can make a str> Dennis was intersted in Hesira`s work with colors ,, and i suggested

It is OK Dennis , we aren`t in any hurry , colors are something that are always with us. I have Always liked Varigated threads , both in knitting and in embroidery, When i am not sure about an effect i roll some threads on a Ruler and look at it ,,, from near by and afar ,,, until i feel it is OK , For me some colors also carry historical memories, and i found myself `working` with those colors as a kind of Terminology in my fiberart. Until my 50th i never wore Jeans now i think it is a very suitable color for me to wear , but i don`t wear it in pants, but in skirts and shirts. It is partly of course , because our minds get USED to see a color, and than either hate it or like it. When i started weaving my weaving teacher told me to try and work with color combinations which i didn`t like , so that my mind will make more efforts to come up with patterns ,, he was right , Color combinations that we like ,, we use Automaticly, and stop thinking about how we used them . mirjam
