Pink Color Study

I'm sharing another color study series today: Pink. You can see the original post over at I Spy DIY, and read the first post with the story of how I started taking these kinds of pictures here: Yellow.

There’s just something about pink craft supplies that always get me. As I’ve been collecting things of different colors and taking these color study pictures on Instagram, I’ve realized that by far I have the most pink things. I especially love that shade that is like a dark hot pink.

I love the ombre look of this pink thread, and how the different shades of pink buttons look all mixed together.

The color pink pictures brings out the girly and romantic side of me, and I just couldn’t help arranging some pink things into a heart. Maybe later I’ll put on my pink pajamas and fuzzy pink socks and watch chick flicks while eating ice cream covered in pink sprinkles.

I just love this quote by one of my very favorite artists, Andy Warhol: “There is beauty in everything, just not everyone sees it.” While I don’t believe that everything is equally beautiful, I think that there are so many simple things in our lives that we never really notice, but that have so much beauty. Things like scissors, or tape, or paper clips. Sorting things by color and arranging them together really makes you look at some of these simple everyday objects in a new light, and appreciate beauty in often overlooked places.

Be sure to share your color study type pictures (pictures that focus on generally one color) on Instagram with #lacolorstudies.
