I've always loved tigers, and this tiger's eyes are so intense. When I first discovered Knit Picks yarn, one of the first shades I bought was Brindle. It's a lovely orangey copper color, and is perfect for this tiger. The greens were a bit harder to match, but these two greens, along with the black and white should make a lovely tiger-colored project. A lovely lady asked me to help her select yarn colors that go with this wallpaper in her nursery. Since I knew she was making an afghan to go in this room, I recommended that she use very little of the parchment in the blanket and more of the blues, oranges, and browns. Since the walls were mostly parchment-colored, it's better to have it only as an accent in the finished project. This is a split complementary color scheme, as the turquoise is directly across the color wheel from these blues and oranges. I'd been listening to the Audio Book of Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson. This was about the same time I began working on the first draft of my CAL, and I wanted to do something that reminded me of the gold that was talked about in the book. These both use similar colors, monochromatic colors, but one has a darker feel, while the other is brighter.
I walked through the living room one day where a Japanese anime was playing in the background, and I saw this character and fell in love with her color scheme immediately. The rich yellow contrasting the blue and turquoise with rich brown was just too much to get out of my head. I had to figure out what the show was called and this character's name, just to find this photo. |
