color wheel for crafters

Posted October 6th, 2009 by kath_red

I love the colour wheel and understanding how colour works is a big step in understanding how to create visual art that says what you want it to say. There is a history of the colour wheel located online here and wikipedia has a good run down too, and for quilters Maria Peagler’s color mastery might be for you – you can download a pdf here to create your own color wheel – so if you want to know more these are good places to start.

Here are some gorgeous colour wheels

1. Goethe’s colour wheel from his 1810 Theory of Colours

2. Narangkar Glover’s needlepoint colour wheel

3. Purl bee quilted colour wheel
