An intense sunset in February really lifted my spirits when the days were still relatively short but definitely getting noticeably lighter. Every window offered a different silhouette.<br />
<br />
Hard to believe we are already almost at the Spring Equinox (Autumn Equinox the Southern Hemisphere) and we'll all share similar amounts of light and day before it heads back along an increasingly diverging path.<br />
<br />
Here in Scotland we get the double treat of the Equinox and a partial Solar Eclipse (94% in the North) on Friday, which feels very fitting to mark the change in the balance of light.Callyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-15020335813821146092015-03-17T07:00:00.000+00:002015-03-17T07:00:01.039+00:00Close up in brown tones<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They really express what living in Venice felt like to me creatively, it was a whole new world of colour and light and pattern.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Somewhat bad timing because the front Cherry Blossom, Prunus Cerasifera 'Nigra', had opened during the previous week and was doing it's best to cheer up the view in the absence of sunshine (taken when things lightened up enough to actually get a photo)...</span></span><br />

Today I finally got my fix of some much needed sunshine and Cherry Blossom in the garden. Hard to photograph though because the sun returned with it's near constant companion these days - strong wind! It's been so hard to photograph anything in the garden in the last 3 years because it is nearly always jiving around like 50's teenager...<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">In a very brief moment of stillness and extremely bright sun I spotted this little ladybird exploring the flowers of Pieris 'Debutante' which have been really abundant this year. It's a very compact little Pieris and it's leaves keep a fairly consistent green in all seasons, good for small spaces and places where you don't want any unexpected colour clashes from changing leaf colour...</span></span><br />

<br />
Every year is different when it comes to the Cherry Blossom. This year the dark leaved cherries seem to be coming out at the same time as their leaves, long before the more floriferous pink ones which open up before their green leaves arrive.<br />
<br />
I'm always happy when they stagger their opening times like that so that when one passes there is still the joy of more to come. Ours are still at the early stages of opening but the one above had the advantage of a few extra degrees of heat in the City so it was fully open and begging me to let it pose for the camera yesterday.<br />

Today was cold but oh so very sunny and many bushes and trees were filled, or filling, with colour. I love when the sun shines through the leaves of the flowering currants providing a glorious contrast in colour from the pink flowers.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere I've been delighted by the flowers on the Winter flowering Honeysuckles - Lonicera Fragrantissima, which have been flowering since early December and this month have been providing a much used early nectar source for some huge bumble bees in the garden.<br />

It's funny how in October 12C means jumpers on, and in March it means jumpers off. Beautiful sunny weather and no cold wind! It's hard to believe that this time last year we were under snow that lasted right through April so we could barely see the snowdrops or crocuses. Not so this year, they are abundant and basking in Spring sunshine. They hovered as 'drops' from mid Jan through Feb and then when the warmth came they all opened up in crisp white perfection, just like the clouds.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">A little mix here of older college patterns with newer California pieces based on photos I took when my lovely wee Brother treated me to a trip back to LA in 2008 to visit all the places we lived and hung out at. That place really did have the biggest influence on me colour wise, year round sunshine was not something I was used to in Scotland and although yellow had been my favourite colour as a child (taken over by aquas and most greeny blues by my mid teens) it was a primary yellow, daffodil yellow. I'm sure the other yellows were around but I hadn't noticed them.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Moving to LA opened my eyes to a whole new world of yellows. They seemed to change constantly depending where you were and I think I was as much influenced by the feeling of them as their actual colour. I don't know if there really were sharp the yellows by the ocean in Venice where there was no smog, but it certainly felt that way in comparison to the tainted yellows of Downtown LA and the warm and ever changing orangey yellows of the hot desert areas outside LA. And of course there were those Pacific sunsets.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The pieces above from the California collection (top row 1-3, 2nd row 3,) represent that Oceanside feeling of heading down to Venice beach and seeing how everything looked crisper, with the blues and yellows heightened by the cool clean breeze coming off the Ocean, always so refreshing in the heatwave that was the 80s.</span><br />

<br />
I totally forgot to update that my designs on Society 6 are now available as <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/wall-clocks" target="_blank">clocks</a>. Each clock has the option for black, white or natural frame colour, and for black or white hands. And there's free worldwide shipping if you use <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates?promo=8ff1b1" target="_blank">this link</a> until Sunday at Midnight Pacific Time.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-size: xx-small;">*Offer excludes Framed Art Prints, Stretched Canvases and Throw Pillows with insert.</span><br />
<br />
I think this is going to involve some updating because a lot my my pattern make it hard to read the clock, so I rummaged through my old sketchbooks for some pieces that would better suit a round face and decided this <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Fjorn_Wall-Clock#33=284&34=285" target="_blank">Fjorn</a> pattern (above) was perfect for the job, with a few edits to make it more circular. I love it in clock format, but it also looks good on the other products too. It is also comes in a <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Fjorn-5Rj_Wall-Clock#33=284&34=285" target="_blank">red on white</a> option.<br />
<br />
Now I'd better get back to updating the clock section for all my previous designs to they will work better. I'm thinking single colours may be the way to go initially.Callyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-62345641170223657582014-01-09T16:21:00.002+00:002014-01-10T03:04:53.155+00:00Free shipping weekend includes new designs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I was yearning for a beach visit but in lieu of that I started looking through old photos and thought these would make nice <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/cards" target="_blank">cards</a>, <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/prints" target="_blank">prints</a> and phone <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/phone-skins" target="_blank">skins</a>.

It's been a while since I looked at lighting but a dip into it today revealed the woven cord <a href="http://www.dougjohnston.net/index.php/--coiled-cord-pendants/" target="_blank">lighting sculptures of Doug Johnston</a> (his range is available at <a href="http://mondocane.com/collection/new%20design" target="_blank">Mondo Cane</a>, too many zero's on the price tag for me to be owning one). I've worked a lot with weaving recycled materials and then lighting them but his skill takes it to a whole new level as he joins several together seamlessly. They remind me of the soft connections between weather worn rock formations in Arizona and Utah.<br />

I felt the need for some wintery white and the jewellery of <a href="http://mirkajaneckova.com/gallery/white-collection.html" target="_blank">Mirka Janeckova</a> seemed perfect. Then I saw her <a href="http://mirkajaneckova.com/gallery/white-drawings.html" target="_blank">White Drawings</a> and had to show 3 of them as well, they are very striking and I actually thought they were inverted photos of actual jewellery when I first looked.Callyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-46490828465676947372013-12-05T10:42:00.001+00:002013-12-05T22:43:53.115+00:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"></span><br />

Tonight was a real pleasure to watch, it looked lovely in all directions and changed from pale pastels to quite intense shades of pink and purple in the North...<br />

And fast changing oranges and yellows with hints of purples in the South West (which became very fiery near the end before softening off at the end as the street lights came on. The trees have lost nearly all their leaves now but as long as some are still clinging on my head thinks it is Autumn, but dropping temperatures and early sunsets are telling a more Wintery story (this took place over 12 minutes from 5.17pm)<br />

Over at <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/bags" target="_blank">Society 6</a> my they have introduced a new style of Tote bag, and the option of larger sizes so my designs are now printed right to the edges, so much nicer! If you are tempted to buy one this is a good time as there is free shipping on them (and on several other of my products) through Sunday the 27th of October.<br />

Autumn came early to many plants in the garden after a brief dip in night time temperatures, meaning the baby Rowan in the garden turned red long before the mature ones. Also the young Spindle and the Virginia Creeper making seasonal leafy splashes of brightness sooner than expected. Lovely. And then a surprise, tiny ponies 10 minutes from home.Callyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-78410566947951328752013-08-15T21:29:00.000+01:002013-11-14T23:25:26.653+00:00August - Portobello Beach<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With this heatwave making Scotland hotter than LA this month it seemed fitting to highlight my LA inspired <a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Amorph-lemon--lime_Pillow" target="_blank">Amorph</a> range which was very much based on the vibrancy and colour of living near the beach in California in the 80s. The intensity of the light in Venice totally changed the way I worked with colour.

Nearly all my Society 6 work is based on my old college sketchbooks and designs from the late 80s and early 90s. It's nice to see them released back into the wild after being in captivity for 25+ years and it's a way of keeping my hand in so I don't completely lose all my computer skills (M.E. is really messing with my memory for such things, I couldn't even remember how to cut and paste last week).<br />
<br />
Here are a few more designs that are more reminiscent of the colours of a Scottish Summer where the beach colours are less intense but they have a fresh quality that reflects the clean air and blue skies we get. I'm fairly sure I was also influenced by old tiles for the Carina pattern. 1.<a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Carina-R4x_iPhone-Case" target="_blank">Carina (blue)</a> 2.<a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Tilly-pattern-bluegrey_Pillow" target="_blank">Tilly (blue grey)</a> 3.<a href="http://society6.com/callycreates/Carina-grey-yellow_Pillow" target="_blank">Carina (grey)</a><br />
