Techniques and Jewelry Projects for Creating Successful Palettes

Lindly Haunani and Maggie Maggio are renowned for their courses and workshops on color as well as for their outstanding polymer clay work. In this book, they offer instruction and inspiration that focuses on polymer clay as a learning tool that readers can use to explore their own color instincts and preferences and develop their own palettes.

Each chapter investigates a specific color principle, with the discussion supported by a related exercise, a "studio tool" assignment or demonstration, a polymer clay jewelry project, and a profile of a prominent polymer clay artist. Sample topics include:

*The Complexity of Color
*Three Properties of Color
*Choosing Your Palette
*Mixing Colors That Flow
*Matching Colors with Precision
*Games Colors Play
*Orchestrating Color Combinations
*Color Composition: Placement and Proportion
*Playful Patterns
*Tantalizing Textures
