Sunset Purple

Sunset Purple

Now, you're probably wondering what on earth this square of Sunset Purple is doing on my blog. The answer: I created it!

Well, not exactly, let me explain.

I have recently joined an online community called COLOURlovers, which is an online art community. Now, while I'm not exactly an artist, I do enjoy playing around with colour, so I thought 'what the heck, it's free' and joined. I took a 'tour' of the site, and, as part of the tour, I had to colour in and name a pattern. 

Sunset Tartan

The pattern was originally varying shades of grey, but I coloured it in, and I gave it a name. The original grey template will still be there for other members of the community to colour, but this was make take on it. I was inspired by the colours often seen at sunset, hence the name Sunset Tartan. When I had finished colouring in the pattern and had given it a name, a window popped up on the screen announcing that I had used an 'unnamed colour' and I could claim it now by naming it. After a few moments thought, I called the colour Sunset Purple, as a tribute to the sunset that had inspired me to use it. 

So, there you have it, the reason a random square of colour has made its way onto my blog. ;)

P.S. Also, the colour palette on the side of the page called Summer Skies was also designed by me on COLOURlovers, under my other screen name jewelsbyers.
