Love our workshop space @curio-lancaster.bsky.social 🥰
Have you been in our backroom?! We host workshops + monthly Sketchbook Club meet ups here! It's a totally different space from the front of the shop & gallery with the exposed stone. We hope you can join us for a future class or drawing night so you can feel the cozy, creative energy! #lancasterpa

Week 3 Coloricombo colors feature lime, marshmallow, powder blue and lavender! I found this week to be a challenge- the colors have a similar tone- but I adding in some elements in white helped me with contrast.

Week 2 of the Coloricombo limited color palette features Purple Red, Iron Green, Vermillion and Sepia. I’ve been playing with a color block grid format and then repeating it into a quilt like pattern.

A recent pattern play that reminds me of a 1970s oilcloth tablecloth. Inspired by the colors from Coloricombo 2025 Week 1: Rust, Peach, Mocha Mousse, and Dark Chocolate
