After I discussed Color in Your Quilts & Art, I discovered another article by Penny Halgren about quilter Joen Wolfrom and her use of color in dyeing and quilting.

Combining colors in a striking palette becomes an art in itself. Although these articles are about dyeing fabrics for quilting, you can utilize the theories for other art work.
My daughter delights in dyeing her own fabric, although I’m not sure I’d have the patience. She finds it relaxing and discovers combinations she wouldn’t find otherwise. Amazingly, she does this on the kitchen counter or dining table because she doesn’t have space for a studio in our multi-generational household.
What have you discovered about color in your quilting or other crafts?
