Thoughts about loving colours
COLOURlovers.com has become one of my favourite hangouts on the web. I have some space there to present myself, but alas it's becoming too small. Therefore I created this page to archive my old ramblings and to give access to my stored away palette collections.
Palette collections:
- Favourite palettes from other COLOURlovers (whatever didn't fit on my COLOURlovers homepage)
- Palette presents from other COLOURlovers
- Tributes to other COLOURlovers
- Favourites of my own palettes (whatever didn't fit on my COLOURlovers homepage)
Old thoughts start here…

I'll have some internet access so I won't miss this site completely but still
9 March 2008:
Searching palettes is back! *doing a little virtual dance* Weee!!! 
6 March 2008:
Gah, not being able to seach colours, palettes and patterns is a real bummer. How can I do a tribute palette for someone if I can't even browse their colours???

Read my blog and you'll know why I haven't been superactive on Colourlovers as I used to be. *yawn*
4 January 2008:
Happy New Year, everybody!
May we see many more wonderful colours, palettes, and patterns!
16 December 2007:
Most likely there won't be any more palettes from me this year, we are going to be at home with our families! To anybody who should still happen to end up on this page:
And thank you for your interest!
9 December 2007:
The new release is out and I feel like I need to revamp my profile page - there was just too much going on here.
1 December 2007:
Aha, all my old friends are back (meaning the usual palettes at the top). It doesn't change much from month to month, but this time the Kiss in the dark has crept in.

I am a simple girl, I like rainbows:

Updated my website with loads of photos including some of the inside of Winchester Cathedral which is magnificent. I am mostly in love with their old floor tiles (see profile photo):
6 November 2007:
Ha, this place is superb. I got a birthday palette and a multiblend made for me!!! YAY! Thank you, lostmy and Dreamagent2! Much love!
3 November 2007:
What? No birthday palette? Hm…. These youngsters, no respect for the elderly…!
1 November 2007:
November, another year of my life has almost passed. Could go melancholy over that subject, let's not get into it. )
Hey, how do you like my new icon and profile pictures? Suitably unsuitable for the season. One year I had a beach party for my birthday…

October nearly over, new palette ranking fun coming up!!!
Just added my five tribute palettes to the Tributes group. Love to play with other lovers' colours!
3 October 2007:
I love it when the new month starts and all my old palettes fall off my top palette list on this page and something new gets displayed. Then I like watching how the old favourites keep crawling back into the list until I get bored with them again and then it's time for a new month.
29 September 2007:
Wheeh - over 100 lovers!!!
And wheeh again: one of my palettes has become one of Zico's favourite palettes of the week:
26 September 2007:
I've had so much fun here over the last weeks with my partner being at home for the whole month, taking some of the load of entertaining our little boy. Sadly this is coming to an end soon and I will struggle finding enough time for my favourite site on the web.
Oh, yes, as I am writing this I have 97 lovers. Who will be number 100???

I wish I had more time for this! I get all these nice comments and would really like to thank everyone individually for them, but I just don't know any more how to fit that in. I spend plenty of time already to look at new palettes and comment on those and when I see that I keep looking at stuff from one person in particular I TRY to check out their stuff in more detail and decide whether to love them or not. More often than not I don't even to manage to do that as I am very busy with my little boy. Anyway, to everybody who commented on my work and didn't get a reaction from me: a heartfelt THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate every single comment!

I think I am starting to copy myself and others… More and more of the palettes I do, seem to remind me of something I did earlier. When I go looking for the palette in question I quite often can't find what I thought was mine. So it probably was somebody else's. Ooops! Take it as a compliment!!!
27 July 2007:
Gosh, even though I've hardly been active over the last days, there are still people finding my older palettes and loving them and me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

It's quite interesting to watch as people reproduce very similar patterns over and over (me included), for example the blue, red or green fades. Also the 'beach view'/ 'summer day'/'day at the sea' combos have come up very often since I joined CL. When they get done too often the community seems to get bored with themes, as the 'repetitions' often don't get any points. I have to say it's hard to find something original and often when there's something that doesn't look like everybody else's stuff it's not that popular with the other colour lovers. I am still searching for colour combinations off the trodden path by exploring very dark colours, I think they are fascinating. But this won't stop me to also continue with more fun palettes. Thanks for all the nice comments so far and may there be many more smiles!

Quite a few palettes and only a couple of days later I find that I am using loads of baby pink - a colour that I normally try to keep away from me as it doesn't suit me at all. It's quite fascinating to use it, as it makes loads of other colours more alive.
19 May 2007:
I've always been playing with colour combinations, so how comes I didn't come across this site any earlier???
