Motifs
Here is an overview of the major styles and patterns we use and from where they came.
Phoenix
Not named after the mythical bird, but after the city in Arizona. You ever been there? It's like....REALLY hot.
Red, Yellow, Orange
Freedom
These colors DO run. It's kind of part of the process. Since 1776, these colors have represented American freedom. 13 stripes. 50 stars on a blue field. Strong, simple, proud. (Not responsible for impromptu fireworks shows, F-14 flyovers, or being followed and protected from tyranny by flocks of bald eagles).
Red, White, Blue.
Big Sur
Looks like waves washing onto a rocky shoal. Great for jumping into the Woody and havin' a Surfin' Safari or swimmin' out past the breakers and watching the world die. If you hold them up to your ears, you may hear the ocean. Layered for a 3-d effect.
Varying blues, White
Faith
I kept this one fairly simple, and I feel it gave it more of an elegance and grace that the more chaotic styles just lack. George Michael (may he rest in peace) was playing when I did it, and the name just fit.
White, Gold leaf
Royal
I like purple. I wanted to do something with purple, so I made Royal. I chose black over gold because purple and gold were my high school colors and....no.....just, no.
Purple, Black
Martial
War. It ain't a good thing. These colors look good together, though. Let's see them as passion leading into oblivion as opposed to conflict, but I'll keep the name because I already set it up in the store.
Red, Black
Rainbow
My old friend, Roy G. Biv, told me about these colors as a combination. Whether you dance in a spectrum or just like the colors, they sure are pretty, huh?
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Coffee Stains
Oops. I made a bit of a mess. Wait a second.....that looks kind of awesome. Made with some nice, natural, almost sepia tone colors. Very 70's. Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind.
Various Browns, Dark Oranges, and Yellows
Primary
Three crayons. By combining these three colors in varying amounts, millions of shades spawn. But, it all starts with thee three.
Red, Yellow, Blue
Binary
Simple black and white. Second to none. 01. Yin and Yang. To and Fro, Stop and Go. The spectrum of my grandfather.
Black, White
Steppin' Out
"We will dress in pink and blue, just like a child. And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile." -Joe Jackson
I was going to go with "Gender Reveal", but I really didn't want to support that behavior. Oh, and i found out that the pink is UV reactive, so it'll glow in blacklight. ALWAYS a bonus.
Gemstones
Stuff happens underground with chemicals getting squished and heated and cooled and left there for a few weeks....and voila!!...you got a gemstone. These are made a little differently, but they look just as lustrous and beautiful. I didn't want to do birthstones, but I feel the ones chosen are pretty cool.
Sapphire, Amethyst, Fire Opal, Ruby, Aquamarine, Citrine, Tiger's Eye, Rose Quartz, Obsidian
