As October draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on how change shows up in our creative lives.
Sometimes it’s bold — like a shift in seasons — and other times it’s subtle, a gentle blending from one shade of life to another.
Today’s Amber Autumn Blending project captures that transition perfectly, with warm fall tones of Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry.
The way they meet and merge reminds me that change doesn’t have to clash; it can create something unexpectedly beautiful.
When I first started blending these colors, I didn’t plan the transitions — I just let the ink move.
That’s often how life unfolds, too — we can’t always predict where the hues will merge, but somehow they always find balance.
Creative tip:
To achieve that glowing “sunset warmth,” begin with Crushed Curry as your lightest tone, layer Cajun Craze in the midtones, and deepen the edges with Blackberry Bliss.
Use circular motions and patience — like practicing gratitude, it’s less about control and more about flow.
The Emotional Palette of Fall
These colors — rich, warm, grounded — carry emotional meaning too:
- Crushed Curry = light and optimism
- Cajun Craze = warmth and courage
- Blackberry Bliss = depth and introspection
Together, they remind me that change isn’t about letting go of one phase, but carrying pieces of each forward.
