\"Blue<\/p>\n

Trendy 2008 color makes for trendy beads and jewelry designs:
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Pantone Inc., one of the world’s foremost authorities on color, the 2008 color of the year is Blue Iris. A rich peaceful shade that is the exact purple-blue of<\/span> the Iris flowers growing in my garden. I am delighted they chose this color. It is so versatile and flows wonderfully from season to season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The experts at Pantone<\/a> suggest pairing Blue Iris with deeper plums, red-browns, yellow-greens, grapes and grays. In fact it looks quite lovely with the Deep Plum Pearl polymer clay color recipe<\/a> that Kimberlee Johnson shared with us earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since many fashion designers and home decor companies base their product lines on Pantone’s Color forecasts, you will be able to find lots of Blue Iris in today’s clothing and furniture lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

When making jewelry it is important to know the colors of up coming fashions so that you can create accessories that will co-ordinate well with the current trends.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to help you include Blue Iris in your color palette, I have re-created this Pantone color in a simple Premo Polymer Clay Recipe. I will do the same for the full Fall 2008 Pantone Color Report over the next little while, so stay tuned for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PolymerThe recipe that was previously posted in this space [Blue Iris – Pantone 2008 Color of the Year]<\/strong> has been re-formated onto a convenient downloadable index card like the sample pictured to the left.<\/span><\/p>\n

The actual size of the recipe card is 4″ x 6″.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two recipe cards are now published every week. The A-Series cards are included with the weekly video membership option at my Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a> (Very Affordable Pricing :)<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And the B-Series (Bonus Recipes)<\/em> are available for FREE<\/strong> to everyone who subscribes to my Polymer Clay Tutor Guest List<\/a> (Weekly Email Newsletter).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So I’m curious. Do you like following popular color trends when making your polymer clay beads? Or would you rather leave the trendy Blue Iris Color of the Year, types of ideas for the big companies… while you do your own thing? Everyone has different tastes and styles which is great! What’s yours?<\/span>
