Pantone Colors Rose Violet & Amazon

Today I will be sharing two more clay recipes from the Pantone fall fashion color collection.  Rose Violet, as Pantone describes, "is vivid, vibrant and full of zing.  Amazon is a lush and fertile broadleaf green".

When I see these colors together I immediately think of tropical plants such as Hibiscus flowers and the large Monstera plant.  I textured a sheet of clay in the Amazon color here with Shades of Clay Monstera Love Texture Stamp.  It is thin enough to run through the pasta machine together with the sheet of clay to make a nice deep and even texture.  Now I have to decide what to create with this. 


The photo below shows Monstera leaves screen printed in black on the Amazon colored clay.  These will make nice earrings once they are cut out and finished off.  I will share my finished results later.

While these designs are not Hibiscus flowers, they do have a fun look and I wanted to compare white vs black print.

"Mandala" and "Floral Tapestry" silkscreens by Tina Holden

These and the leaf print silkscreens, shown above, are created by Tina Holden and you can find them in her Etsy shop here.

I really love these two colors together and thinking some mokume gane patterns. I like to make large tiles in the Pantone colors so I can play with them and such as mixing and matching.  These tiles are about 1-1/2 inches in size.

So here are the color recipes using Kato clay.
