This is my adaptation of your 015-A Blue Hosta Palette, which is probably my favorite out of all of the palettes that you&#8217;ve posted so far. I used Premo scraps that could be blended into similar colours, plus a deep purplish-blue and a teal for accents, when I played with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutorial-easy-kaleidoscope-canes-video\/8194\/\">right-angle triangle kaleidoscope canes<\/a> you recently featured.&#8221;<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Sue-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>015-1A Blue Hosta Blossom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 part Ultra Blue (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">5 parts Violet (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1\/4 part Black (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">14 parts White (Kato)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>015-2A Cafe-o-lait<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">8 parts Brown (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">4 parts Violet (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">1 1\/2 parts Black (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">8 parts White (Kato)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>015-3A Stone Heart<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">8 parts Brown (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">3 parts Violet (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">4 parts Black (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">3 1\/2 parts White (Kato)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>015-4A Bitter Chocolate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">8 parts Brown (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">3 parts Violet (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">2 parts Red (Kato)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">6 parts Black (Kato)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I&#8217;d be curious to know what people think about fractional parts in colour recipes. I generally avoid them in the recipe representations I write down for my own use because it&#8217;s more precise to stick to whole numbers. Cutting fully-consistent fractional parts is fiddly, even with square cutters where it&#8217;s less awkward than with circles and other shapes. However, that means that some of my for-Sue-use-only formulas are written with VERY large numbers, so for the recipes that I&#8217;m sending in I&#8217;ve given myself general guidelines along the lines of not going over 12 parts if possible, but never using a fraction smaller than a quarter. Reasonable? <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Sue-F<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I think Sue&#8217;s approach for managing the fractional measurements is reasonable. In fact that is exactly how I try to work out my recipes, though sometimes on the lighter colours it can be tricky keeping the fractions large without the other amounts getting quite large. Especially if you&#8217;re adding a dominant color like Alizarin Crimson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But what do the rest of you think? Would you rather have a larger number of parts so that the fractions aren&#8217;t too tiny? Or would you rather have smaller number of parts which means some of the fractions might be quite small as well? I too would be curious how you all felt about this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/2009-07\/10-blank-polymer-clay-tutor-recipe-card.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Blank Polymer Clay Recipe Card\" vspace=\"0\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" align=\"left\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To download a blank recipe card that can be duplicated and used for keeping your collection organized, click on the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/11-sculpey-iii-polymer-clay-color-mixing-recipes\/4719\/#card\">Polymer Clay Recipe Card<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>HUGE<\/strong><\/span> Thank You to Sue for her <em>awesomeness<\/em> in providing these Kato Polyclay color recipes for everyone&#8217;s benefit!!
