And with 4 colors per palette, that calculates out to 400 different color recipe cards in total. No wonder I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to say&#8230; lol!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It would also explain why over time, there are palettes that end up resembling each other&#8230; like today&#8217;s Vol-049-A Sedum Stonecrop Palette as compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/ivy-leaf-palette-polymer-clay-color-recipes\/14976\/\">Vol-045-A Ivy Leaf Palette<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You should know, however, that even if the palettes seem similar, every color recipe is in fact unique. It&#8217;s trickier to pull off than you might think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I can tell ya&#8230; that choosing the photos; and then mixing up the colors; plus always having to come up with unique names for everything&#8230; is becoming more and more challenging as time goes on. Makes me sympathize somewhat, with the color naming departments of the big designer paint companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But then again, they probably have a whole army of creative minds collaborating on the final decisions. Here, at the Polymer Clay Tutor, the colors come from just me :-)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The following Vol-050 A-series Sedum Stonecrop color palette will be added to the Polymer Clay Members Library during the month of July 2012:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Sedum <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 050-1A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Stonecrop <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 050-2A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Sage <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 050-3A)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Shale<\/strong><strong><em><em> <\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 050-4A)<\/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> Sedum<\/em> is the earthy toned orange shade found within the petals of the newly forming leaves of this succulent plant. <em>Stonecrop<\/em> named for the variety of this particular Sedum, represents the muted golden tones found on some of the outcroppings. <em>Sage<\/em> is the dusted sage green of the leaves as they mature.
