Twelvty-Twelve

Hey folks, remember the 12 in 12 in 12 project? One book: 12 colors in 12 months. Serendipitously conjured up in the year called ’12.

It’s been a little while since the last update, and as well as the recent (unseen) month-color-pages I’ve been hopping back in time to add little bits and things here and there.

So as we arrive in the 12th of the 12th of ’12, here comes the first of (…hey – guess how many…) daily snips of pages you’ve not seen yet!

May in progress

There’s a special place in my heart for those indeterminant colors that fall into ‘not quite green’ and ‘not quite blue’. Aqua-tealy-turquoise, if such a beast exists, is the color of May in my 12 in 12 project

We’re only mid way through, but here’s how May is looking so far!

April blues

This month’s  colors in the 12 in 12 project, not the mood or music. I’ve hit the ground running into April’s new colour and already (day 4) have the beginnings of 4 pages to share with you….

The first page of April

I’m playing with cut-outs, I like the way it links the pages letting glimpses of the next and previous pages show through. The tiny diamond shapes have informed the way the patterns grow and develop through these four pages.

Continuing April's pages

12 Colors in 12 Months

Marlene GlickmanA week or few towards the end of 2011 I fell upon Marlene Glickman’s “Day by Day:Pieces of Life Series”  which initiated 2 new projects. (The other of which I’ll type to you about later)

This a 12 month adventure taking shape as the year progresses.  Ms Glickman set off my plan thusly:

“Making color and design decisions is sometimes difficult so I challenge myself to use only one color from the color wheel each month during my daily design exercises.”

From the start of January 2012 I’ve been working in new sketchbook, each month’s pages of doodlings and dabblings is limited to just one twelfth of the color wheel. Somewhere in each month I plan to upload my latests (and as I zigzag through the year, re-post the older months as they continue to develop).

Hold on to your hats folks, counting backwards we’ve got a quick 3 month round up….

March

is composed of purplish blues:


So far the months have all spread themselves over four pages. Why four? no reason (three not enough, five too many…) Just saying, cos other months might ramble further. Guess depth and range of the colors have a bearing too. (sometime I might count the pages n do the math)

Photography is a stage in the process, it gives clarity, like looking through somebody else’s eyes. Clicky close ups to show the detail…



At the time of typing March is not quite through, a work in progress…

February

The violet purples

February as a month is done and finished, but its pages will still get periodic tweaks. That’s the great thing about making your own rules to the game (; I’ll re-post updates later on.


January

Beginning the year at the reddy edge of purple

I began the year in the colors surrounding me, tones and shades of brickwork, cosy warmth, winter berries. From here I’m ambling backwards around the color wheel, journeying towards red at the end of the year.



So that’s where it all began, folks.
Just a few days and a new (blue) month begins. Check back for the next insighting extallment!
