COLOUR

What can I say - it’s all about colour, the clue is in the name - Colour My Dreams. I simply love colourful things. When I started CMD and was looking for a name, it made so much sense to me that it had to be linked closely with colour. All my illustrations and patterns at the time were full of brights, pastels, tones and hues. There was nothing much that was monochromatic about my work.

A world without colour would be such a dull, sad place. Us creatives take inspiration from our natural world in so many ways, whether it be recreating images of flowers, landscapes, animals etc or using colour to accentuate an idea or highlight a mood.

I take so much pleasure in combining colours in pleasing ways. When you put colours together that you may not consider to be a good match and it works, there’s so much joy and satisfaction. I know it’s probably not something new, nature combines colours all the time, but to see the results of a great mix within a crochet blanket or a summer top makes me smile.

One thing I love about using lots of colour is that my work can appeal to so many different people. I’m always happy to make something for someone in a different colour if they can’t find their perfect choice from the ones already in my online shop. There’s nothing I love more than scrolling through my suppliers websites looking for a new colour or something I haven’t used before. Pure joy! 

It’s the small things in life that give the most pleasure and a little bit of colour does it for me!
