Member Benefits 042-3: Color Mixing

Polymer Clay Membership SiteI’m learning more about color theory from the recipes than I could ever learn from a book. This is another beautiful palette. Thanks Doug for your uncanny ability to capture the beauty of nature, and to you, Cindy, for your uncanny ability to translate it into recipes we can incorporate into our work. What a team!! ~Elizabeth-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I always love your color choices, Cindy. Thank goodness we have you to come up with all of these beautiful color palettes. ~Jeanne-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Colors

I consider myself pretty good at colour mixing and can usually “see” what I need to use to get a particular shade, but I’ve found that I’ve learned a lot from mixing up Cindy’s recipes, much more than I thought I would. ~Silverleaf >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials

Breathtaking!!!! I love everything about this…the colors and the way they work together in the cane, the design of the beads, the copper stamens, and the bail. This is an example of colors that I wouldn’t have looked at twice in the past, that I now love, because of you, Cindy! ~Linda-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Woodland Flora Polymer Clay Pendant

Pansy’s are my favorite flower. I will now have to take a closer look at all my flowers in the garden. I can set and look at color for hours. ~Brenda-E >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Cane Designs

Thanks for the up in coming new spring palette…gorgeous colors as usual. One of these days, you will have to explain how you play around with color to come up with these beautiful colors.  Do you just sit and look at colors and then play with each of the colors and add a little bit of this color and that color to come up with them? I guess I haven’t played with color enough. I am going to have to devote some time aside from playing with it just to play with color. Thanks for all you do. ~Lupe-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I love the colors!!! They are so bright, alive and scream “SUMMER IS HERE”. Thank you so much for the recipes. ~Cheryl-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Mixing

Thank you for sharing the full video.  It was very interesting.  I have been making Skinner blends and I always enjoy short cuts. One can always appreciate a process that goes from 20-25 time through the pasta machine to maybe 7-10. Great time saver in prepping for work. Leaves more time for creativity. Also liked the idea of making smaller samples before hand to see how colors would look together. Excellent idea. ~Mary-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Tear Drop Method

Beautiful color combination! They remind me of Easter and Spring for sure! ~Cindy-E >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Palettes

Oh, goody! Some colours I love. I’m a pink/purple girl, so these will be fun to try next month. Thank you, Cindy. ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipe Cards

Great idea. Keep them coming please. Mixing is just the start anyway. Knowing how to pair colors with others in a complimentary way is often even harder. So any info you can add on that subject is a big help. XOXO ~Jamie-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Polymer Clay Colors

Wow! Your colors are always beautiful but this time I think you have outdone yourself. Amazing!! ~Laurel-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Custom Polymer Clay Colors

Wow Kriss! For someone who doesn’t make many sets you’ve certainly nailed these ones. Your colours and styles are incredible and mixing the techniques has certainly worked in these pieces. Thanks for sharing with us. ~Aims >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Techniques

Awesome colors Cindy! I worked in a greenhouse for 10 years and could not agree with you more! ~Carrie-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Inspiration

I don’t know how you keep up with everything but I am glad you do. I am not perfect when it comes to making everything you have taught us but I have tried with some success about 85% of the beads. Not so dedicated when it comes to the colors. Maybe if you do a 2nd contest you should test us on our colors also. I definitely need motivation when it comes to trying to experiment with the color recipes. I write them all down and have them all organized by color group. Just need to make myself take the time to try them. Was sick all weekend and most of this week so I haven’t even got a chance to enter the first contest yet. But I am still going to try to get some made up and sent in. I do have the motivation just not the energy or steady hands right now to try. Don’t count me out yet though. Great colors they are like your tuts haven’t seen one I haven’t liked yet. You definitely have what it takes to inspire your students Cindy. Love and Uuuuuuugggggs. ~Peggy-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Ideas

These colors are gorgeous, Cindy. How I love rock hunting – and now I’ll be able to rock hunt right in my Premo bin! ~Carolyn-F >> This comment was originally posted here: Rocks and Mineral Polymer Clay Colors

Gorgeous palette! I agree with what Linda said above. The same thing’s happened to me. I’ve never been one for browns, but I’m appreciating them more and more. Thanks for all of these wonderful recipes, Cindy, and the beautiful, inspirational photos, Doug. ~Phaedrakat >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Marsh Reeds Palette

WOW! Stunning colors, I can’t wait to get this month’s colors mixed up to see them in person. Autumn is my favorite time of the year with all the colors and the crisp cool air. ~Ken-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Fall Color Recipes

What a soothing palette… these colors are just beautiful. Normally I am a color person – this will be my exception.  Mind churning – again  LOL.  Your videos are so informative. Thank you Cindy and Doug. The DREAM TEAM for sure. ~Patt-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Sculpey Beach Pebbles Custom Palette

Beautiful palette Cindy and so relaxing. Thanks so much for the many palettes, you make it so vivid with the descriptions and stories. I was born and grew up in Mumbai, and there are a lot of coconut palms. Every part of the coconut palm is used. The leaves for roofs in the villages and woven into trays, baskets, the coconut shell made into ladles, the coir used in mattresses. The coconut milk is used in cooking and the creamy flesh of the coconut is so delicious; I love the coconut water, it’s very cool and refreshing in the hot summer and recommended for hepatitis. ~Cherie-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Desert Oasis Palette
