the story of: wind in the willows colors



As you may remember, this month's story is The Wind in the Willows. Between the movie versions, the characters and the general setting, there's a certain mood that comes to mind when I think of this story. That mood has translated into some color combos, all inspired by The Wind in the Willows!

Friends


This first one is called Friends and from left to right, represents Ratty, Toad, Mole, and Badger 
(he gets two colors!)


Riverbed

Even though the illustrations that I drew use light, bright colors, I think that these floss colors would make some really great embroidered pieces that Kenneth Grahame would find quite fitting for his story.

  5. I love these! They look awesome. I sometimes feel that 90% of what I know about colour theory comes from spending hours on end looking at floss, holding up different (often very similar!) colours next to each other and figuring out why one looks better than another.
    Love it!
