Did you ever notice the way color can affect our mood and perception of the environment around us?
Colors can elevate our mood or change our perception of an object. Bright vivid colors can make us feel positive where a darker color can evoke a heaviness. Florescent color not only can grab attention, florescent literally screams at you to pay attention and that can cause a feeling of anxiety. Whether photographing a full shot of amazing colors or small pops of color against a muted background, this week break out your camera and capture some color. Think about how the colors of the shot affect your mood, feelings, perception of your surroundings. Focus on how the colors impact your decision to take a particular shot.
I think I've thought more about color this week than I ever have before! I love bright cheery colors because they make me happy. They make me feel alive. One of my favorite bloggers, Maureen, at Maureen Cracknell Handmade, uses the most colorful fabric in her sewing and quilting projects. Visiting her blog and looking at the pictures can lift my spirits every time. My home is mostly decorated in reds, golds and greens. They're warm and inviting, comfortable and comforting.
My real love is pastel colors. I'm drawn to pastels like a moth to a flame. Pink is my favorite but all the other colors are my second favorite! I had not been to a fabric store since last fall, so I decided to visit JoAnn's, where there is color in every direction you look. I wasn't looking for anything in particular and didn't have a project in mind. I was just enjoying the colors, patterns, and textures of the fabrics when I spotted these. They made my heart sing and I may have audibly gasped!

These colors not only make me happy, they make me feel less stressed and more calm. They're pretty and feminine and yummy looking! These are the kinds of colors I plan to use in decorating my sewing room. I'm definitely inspired by them!
