Colour animations

I love stop-motion films and since coming across this site - We Love Stop Motion - I have an endless supply to watch.
Many of them show great uses of colour and here are some examples:


This advertising film, not in English, all about ceramic tiles. Great use of colour and the language barrier doesn't stop it from being educational.

Organising a book shelf- the colour fun in this is great

There are may more films to watch but these were the most colourful ones I found today to share with you

Surrounded By Colour

Since the recent colour post on my blog I have been taking photos of all the colour that surrounds me.

Fabric paints and pens

The colourful mess that sits behind my laptop. With a pen-pot, Swarovski colour charts, a bauble wreath and an empty jellybean jar. How much more colourful would it be if that were full!

My brooch drawer

Some books and magazines on a shelf behind me

A framed postcard in my bedroom and the bright green tree I can see from the bedroom window

A Day Full OF Colour

A day out today (you can read more about it here) and here are some photos I took as I was out and about.A sign advertising a tempting treat

Colour In My Life

It's been a while since I've posted but that doesn't mean that colour hasn't been on my mind. I love looking at colour and taking photos of it when I can. Here are some recent photos, many of which didn't make it onto my blog but are too colourful to waste.
