Colour is one of the first things we notice about a garment, necklace, or home accessory - and it can make or break a project. This work features many tried-and-true combinations, all based on established tenets of colour theory, to choose from. It also features the ColorSense trademark] colour wheel and cutout templates.
Two things I like about a book are that it tells you what you already know but looks at it from a different angle; the other thing I like is to be surprised by something that I should have known but did not. This book has both and more.
The first chapter is on how to use the book, with 20 action-packed, well, maybe not action-packed but information-packed pages on how to get the most out of the book. This is a good starting place.
The book was designed for needlework and painters, and the like. However, I have two other reasons I bought the book. First, for general knowledge to be able to see the world differently, “But Now Can See!” The practical purpose is planning colors for dyeing yarn.
The book comes with a color wheel and detachable color samples to carry with you while shopping. I may have to buy a second copy, as I can not force myself to dismantle the samples.
The book has a practical binding and is more than worth the cost.
Way to go, Susan Levin.
