Coral Leaf Cane Bracelet<\/p><\/div>\n

I had a favorite cane, like the coral leaf on the bracelet above. I made it a long time ago and have used it on many of my projects. It’s a simple cane using the Skinner Blend method for both the coral and the silver of turquoise in the middle. \u00a0I wasn’t sure if I would remember what colors I used, but it was simple.\u00a0Cadmium Red and white and turquoise and white. They make quick and easy, beautiful, tropical blends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Color Chart<\/p><\/div>\n

This time I’ll make a record of the color. For the last year or so, I’ve been making color records of my blends. I mix my color and then run a piece through the pasta machine at about #6 (very thin). I cut a small circle from that and heat set it with my heat gun, then glue it in my color book. Then I make Skinner \u00a0blends from it and do the same thing with bits of the blend. I like being able to write on the pages and make notes if I want to.<\/p>\n

Color Rings<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve tried lots of other ways to record my color experiments like the color rings above. On the one on the right, I carved the recipe on the back. The one on the left, (I must have been out of my mind) I made these little circles with the recipe typed on the computer. I had to set them up on the computer, print them, cut them out and then glue them to the samples. After a couple of years, some of the recipes fell off!!!<\/p>\n

Today, I like my book the best.<\/p>\n

There’s lots of information out there about color charts, the most recent is by Maggie Maggio on her blog Smashing Color. The Article Documenting Your Color Mixes<\/em><\/a> is very informative.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, the bracelet is going to my Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n
