But here are real reasons for the similar palettes&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">First, what says &#8216;Spring&#8217; better than a tiny Grape Hyacinth blossom poking out of the freshly thawed ground? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Second, I find it incredibly interesting to have two seemingly similar palettes, coming from two separate seasons, where the colors are actually quite different. The Winter Blue set is grayed down and muted with a Greenish undertone, whereas the Spring Blue set is fresh and brighter, with just a hint of purple in the mix. This is the way it is with colors at different times of the year. That is also the reason for such different color palettes used in Fashion during the different seasons. When you mix these two color palettes and lay them side by side, you will see what I mean.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Lastly, I messed up. Normally I wouldn&#8217;t put two Blue color palettes, one right after the other like that, but I did and ran out of time to change it, when I realized my mistake. So forgive me if you can. The colors are truly lovely and your color recipe box could always have a little more blue in it, right?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The following recipes for this Vol-047 A-series color palette will be added to the Polymer Clay Members Library in April 2012:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Prairie Sky <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 047-1A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Grape Hyacinth <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 047-2A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Smoky Purple <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 047-3A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Barn Board<\/strong><strong><em><em> <\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 047-4A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[wp_ad_camp_1]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span> Prairie Sky<\/em> is the soft sky blue found in the highlights of the blossom clusters of the grape hyacinth. <em>Grape Hyacinth<\/em> is the purpley blue most dominant in this pretty little Spring bloom. <em>Smoky Purple<\/em> is the dark smoke purple on the tips of the newest flowers, just before they open their bell-like shape.

You challenge us to work with Nature around us, and IMHO &#8211; that is God\u2019s Palette. Keep your palette colors coming Cindy, you are a gifted woman. You see things that most people do not even take the time to see, and you are sharing and teaching us to do that simple task. Sincerely. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\"><strong>~Pauline-D<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Cindy, I definitely prefer your nature-inspired palettes! Your original colours are subtle and come from personal involvement in the beauty that surrounds you and your family. While I am certain I would love any new direction you wanted to experiment with, I believe other PC enthusiasts are dabbling in (and selling) Pantone-based palettes. I appreciate your soliciting the opinions of your members. I will continue to enjoy whatever colours you offer, but I am firmly on the side of &#8220;Mother Nature&#8221;, who gifts us with infinite variety, as opposed to a technical schedule of arbitrary shades in a preset framework. Looking forward to your &#8220;personal vision&#8221; of Spring 2012! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\"><strong>~Monique-U<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hi Cindy. I\u2019ve purchased color palettes in the past from a different website, and I was disappointed because the recipes did not match the colors. As a matter of fact, the colors all came out looking almost the same (i.e. the pinks all looked alike, and so forth).
