Colour Palette Inspiration 4 - Kingfisher Blue

I still remember the day I took this photo... while I was on a moving canal boat! I think it was very much about being in the right place at the right time, I've never again been as close to a Kingfisher as I was that day.

It was almost as though it wanted to be photographed. As we sailed down the canal it flew from one branch to another, almost like it was waiting for us to catch it up. Although I've seen Kingfishers in various other places on several other occasions, I've never managed to photograph them.

Have you enjoyed this colour palette? Inspired? If so I'd love to hear from you, so please don't be shy and do leave a comment. I love to read them! And if you do make something based on this colour palette please let me know, I'd love to see it!

Colour Palette Inspiration 3 - Lupin Love

It's Wednesday again already, and I'm not quite sure how that happened. Days seem to be whizzing by at an alarming speed at the moment, I can't believe we are more than half way through March already!

Anyway, as it's Wednesday that means it's time for a new Colour Palette post.

The warming weather recently has left me itching to get out in the garden. On Sunday the weather was glorious, so me and the husband decided it was the perfect chance to get out in the garden and do so spring jobs. While I was weeding the vegetable raised bed and planting onions sets (the first vegetables in this year, exciting!) he dug up a load of old shrubs down one side of the garden so that we can replace the rotten old fence, before putting in more raised beds for more vegetable and fruit growing. Exciting times - but more on that soon in a separate blog post.

Anyway, enough of my rambling... it's time for the Colour Palette. This weeks' is from a photo I took a few summers ago of one of several beautiful lupins I grew that year. It's a soft palette, with the promise of intense summer colour. A tease if you will of what's hopefully to come this year!

As always, if you enjoy this post I'd love to hear from you. Do leave me a comment to let me know what you think, and if this palette inspires you to create something I'd love to see it!

Colour Palette Inspiration 2 - Teasel Tones

It's Wednesday, so that means it's time for another Colour Palette featuring one of my original photographs. This photograph is a personal favourite of mine - I love the fact that you can see all the pollen on the bee!

I hope you enjoy this colour palette and find it as inspiring as I do - if you feature this, or use it to inspire any of your work please do let me know as I'd love to have a look at what you create.

Colour Palette Inspiration 1 - Frozen Moments

Welcome to the first in our series of inspirational colour Palette posts. Each week, on a Wednesday, I'll bring you a brand new colour palette based on one of my original photographs.

Recently it's been feeling like Spring was finally on it's way, but these last few days there's definitely been a nip in the air and a light covering of frost in the morning. This close up of beautiful dried Hydrangea heads with a delicate covering of frost has a cool palette of blues, greys and neutrals and really shows just how beautiful the Winter Season can be - neutrals don't have to be boring!

Inspired? I'd love to hear your comments on this first Colour Palette here at Meezer Meezer Designs and please do let me know if you create anything based on this. I'd love to see it!
