With all these gray winter days (around here in Vancouver at least), I felt we could use a little firing up with this hot color palette, inspired by the interior of a vintage Chevy Bel Air.<\/span><\/p>\n

This beauty from the 50’s was photographed by Doug back in September on his birthday when we stopped by a vintage car rally to see what they had on display. You may remember the Vintage Ford Palette<\/a> from a couple months back, which was at the car show as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love using vintage vehicles as color inspiration. They really knew how to use color and style in cars back then. WAY more interesting than most of the the black, white, silver and grey cars of today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geez… you can barely tell the difference between the high end cars and the low end ones anymore… they all are so boring, nondescript and look pretty much the same as the next one! It’s like the more invisible the cars are, the more anonymous people can be on the road. I suppose that’s handy for the drivers who cut people off or behave badly in traffic… “Yes Officer. It was the Black SUV and the Gray Sedan that were involved in that road rage incident… Or was it a Gray SUV and a Black Sedan? I can’t quite remember.”…<\/span><\/p>\n

Any who… I digress…<\/span><\/p>\n

I do love the personalities that the old cars had, and that is why I chose this lively, passionate red\/orange interior of this 50’s Chevy Bel Air as the color inspiration for the Vol-069-A recipe series. Do enjoy!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Chevy<\/a>The following Vol-069 A-series Chevy Bel Air Color Palette will be added to the Polymer Clay Members Library<\/a> at the beginning of February 2014:<\/span><\/p>\n
