heart the craft: on b&w

heART the craft

a collection, or a single favourite image or idea

this is no.4

 home is where the heART is

isn't it?

love this 'pintrested' image

from 'kinderpendent' but can't find it's original source

great use of this fabulous ikea black & white fabric

i have a great stash of this ... just waiting

... i'm generally not into encouraging kids to 'colour in' someone else's image

but these images are so simple & they are kidd-ish without dictacting

that 'this-is-the-only-way-you-should-draw-a-house' .....

i love the creative play element as well

& they'd be simple enough to make it a learning sewing project

maybe mix it up & not use the 'traditional' primary colours plus green

yep ....

colour ... so yeah, here i am saying i like the way its used ....

sparingly with black & white .... um

generally i'd say that using colour in this simplistic way is conforming

& kind of sticking to the 'safe' side ...

or not taking advantage of the wonderful way that 

a colour responds to another colour

but i think these house graphics call for simplicity

.... might let you all 'in on' what i think about 

colour & using neutrals sometime soon....

(post on colour per request coming soon-ish!)

 

and when talking colour & environments for children

'well' .... i do have a few thoughts on that too

so anyway back to these funky houses ....

love all the colourful front doors

what colour is your front door??

we have a very conservative charcoal denim one ....

our previous home had a plum purple that i adored

my parents have a very happy bright yellow gloss

might change ours someday ...

but not yet .... will play it safe for a while longer!

you can always have a read on 

my thoughts re: children & drawing

over here .... that is while you're waiting for my

rant all about colour use!
