rosemarie auberson: colour

I pinned these a few weeks ago and decided I had to post them because I think they're just so lovely to look at! I desperately want a huge version on my wall...maybe every wall! These gorgeously minimal collages belong to Rosemarie Auberson, a talented lady who is well aware that less is more. Check out all her collages here

I was also quite taken with the colours she used hence the colour palettes I picked out for you. I hope they inspire! 

print supreme

After posting my last colour palette that included one of Freya Cumming's beautiful screen prints, I realised her work deserved a whole post of it's own. The Scottish based designer has had extensive training in print making which is clear from her striking prints. She manages to capture  a sense of spontaneity with her materials and yet the colours, shapes and negative space is so sensitively considered. Her use of layering colour and pattern is enchanting! 
So if you like what you see then check out her website here. I hope you like her work as much as I do!

OUT & ABOUT


Here are some little snapshots of inspiration I've found out and about recently. From the top...



Northcote Records juicy typography caught my eye walking down Northcote Road. 
Jewel coloured notebooks in Paperchase. Total simplicity with a 'Look at me' colour and I'm sold.
New card range by Ingela P Arrhenius for Lagom. They could pretty much produce anything and I’d love it .
Paperchase gift wrap is usually lovely but this combination particularly caught me eye.
Fun hand drawn monochrome menu at Bryon

Patterned stationery from Nineteen Seventy Three with an awesome colour combination, proving that a limited colour palette is not always best.
Great recipe books with pop art covers. There's something quite comforting about their retro feel. The Leon series can be found in Waterstones.
Cute illustrated Cat from M&S. Now I'm no fan of cats but how sweet is this?
A tribal notebook I found in Paperchase. They probably need to put this print on a dress, a scarf, a tote, a...

cut & stick

Oooo I do love these cards by by Fair Morning Blue. They have an Aztec feel about them but look as if they were created in some kind of exciting cutting and pasting craft session. I’m such a colour geek and these colour combinations really excite me! Check out the Etsy shop here for more lovely cards for your peepers to feast on.
 

colour and cheer

Here’s an Etsy shop that caught my eye. All the bold shapes and colours are a breath of fresh air. I really like the mix of wooden beads and neon, partly because it seems as if the two things shouldn't go together and yet they do. All the best combinations start that way. Here's a similar little DIY idea from Martha Stewart if you like that sort of thing. 

don't wait for summer


Ok so we are still waiting for Summer to come and say hello but here are a few bright little things to cheer things up a bit. I have to say I've always been a big fan of a limited colour palette but I'm slowly starting to change my mind and embrace the rainbow!
  1. Mini lanterns from Typo
  2. Nail varnishes from Barry M.
  3. Bring back multi coloured sprinkles. They shouldn't just be reserved for kids birthday parties!
  4. Geometric exercise book
  5. Candy cracker free from Eat Drink Chic blog. 
  6. Pink luggage labels from Knot and Bow
  7. Birthday card from Typo
  8. Forget pastel macaroons, put a few more drops of food colouring in the bowl. Macaroons from this lovely blog.
