Color Caffeine - Sea Salt

This subdued and moody "sea salt" color story for this week's Color Caffeine is a perfect pairing to the stormy and cloudy skies of a late summer rain shower. Muted gray tones accent crisp white, subtle metallic silver and neutral tones for a classic color inspiration! For our entire collection of Color Caffeine palettes, visit our flickr photostream.

GreenSheep Felt - Maker Faire Detroit

It's a very chilly morning here in Michigan and we all know that's a sign that fall is quickly approaching... With that, it's the perfect day to share one of our Maker Faire Detroit finds. About a month ago, on a hot summer day, Maker Faire was buzzing with creativity, ingenuity and innovation and we were relishing in meeting so many local artisans and crafters. One of our favorites, GreenSheep Felt, had a booth offering instruction and even a DIY kit on how to turn natural wool and other fibers into soft, luxurious felt. That soft and cozy felt is then turned into a wide array of fiber arts, such as clothing, blankets, handbags and accessories. As the weather gets chilly, and my thoughts turn to sweaters and blankets, maybe I should sign up for one of their classes and create my own?

Color Caffeine - Maize

Soft, creamy and with a hint of spice, the hue Maize tops our list this week as a color to watch. A perfect accompaniment to last week's Sweet Basil hue, this color is earthy, natural and the perfect way to end a warm, bountiful summer! Our entire Color Caffeine series can be found here on the blog or on our flickr photostream.
