Inspiration Can Come From Anywhere!

I was browsing my Pinterest home page when I came across a post from Stitch 11. Stitch 11 posts color pallets from pictures via their website and they give a nice tutorial on how you can do it yourself at this link: How To Make Your Own Color Pallet. I decided to try it out for myself and after playing with the PicMonkey website and software, I came up with some interesting combos with my own photos.

The above photo was one I took in August of 2012 in The Great Smokey Mountain National Park, in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, TN. I would never think about having these colors in the same project until I was able to view them together side-by-side on the color pallet. Now they are my inspiration for a new pattern!

The second picture was taken just a couple weeks ago at Laurel Lake in London, Kentucky. Such a beautiful, tranquil picture. I love the color pallet that came out of this one too.

Follow the tutorial and see what you can make!

I may just make a few crocheted motifs out of one of these and see how the finished product turns out.
