Pantone Fall 2013 Fashion Color Samba

The Pantone color Samba is a rich and very vibrant shade of red.  Years ago we have never found jewelry pieces in red to be big sellers.  We have noticed, however, that over the past 2 years, red has gained more popularity and now almost any item we create in red sells and we get more requests for items in red than ever before.

Combining red with black can be very dramatic.  Here are two scarf clips created with the Samba red. The one on the left is red on a black background using the "sutton slice" technique and the one on the right is charcoal mica powder on the Samba red textured clay.

Here is the clay color recipe using Kato clay:
