RSC - August - Aqua

The August colour is Aqua.  Although Angela said if Aqua was too hard, do more blues...LOL.

But where does Aqua start & finish . . . and what about Turquoise & Teal??- they are all close on the colour wheel.

I did a bit of googling and found these graphics.  Interesting that both Aqua and Turquoise are "Brilliant bluish green" but Teal is "Moderate bluish green".

I also found some general info re colours:


Red: passion, physical energy, warmth, aggression, and danger.
Yellow: happiness, creativity, mental stimulation, impatience, and cowardice.
Blue: calmness, honesty, trust, stability, and responsibility.
Orange: spontaneity, adventure, dynamism, warmth, exhibitionism, and superficiality.
Green: growth, freshness, harmony, prosperity, envy, and greediness.
Purple: spirituality, imagination, mystery, royalty, wisdom, and immaturity.
Pink: unconditional love, sympathy, femininity, comfort, playfulness, and childishness.

Anyway - I raided the stash...not too many precut strips - so I cut a bunch of strips.

I made these at the recent retreat and finished the placemat bindings at home:

4 Placemats

18 Colourwash blocks

Next month is "Pastels"....wonder what I will find to use??
