Collection: Something Ugly MAL

YOU AIN'T GOT NO ALIBI!
YOU UGLY
yeah yeah 
YOU UGLY!

"Ugly" is where my favorite color pairings begin. A little off-putting, or unpleasant at first glance. Slightly loud. Teetering on Circus-y.  

Sometimes I leap across the color wheel and hold the values steady for buzz. Sometimes I stay close and shift temp or value to introduce tension. Sometimes I take a pairing I love and push it just out of key--one quieter, one louder-- just to see what happens, and how far I can push the color wheel before it rolls back on me. 

Anyways. Here's a few ugly color pairings that I'm feeling... come with us over on Instagram as we partake in a "Something Ugly" MAL! These Kits will be available until Valentine's Day for us to make some ugly little accessories from. Afterall, who doesn't need a garish little pair of mittens??

REALLY wanna catch the spirit of Ugly?? Please watch this video of my favorite artist and master colorist, Kaffe Fassett, talk about the importance of play and creating ugly things. It just tosses my confetti.
