Row [...]]]> As a bunch of print designers we’re unnaturally inclined to be fans of process colors: CMYK, from which all colors are printed in, say, a magazine or newspaper. However, it’s not just people who have Evelin Kasikov prints on their wall who are in love with these classically fresh color combos.

Row one: High Rise Screenprint by alyoisiusspyker • Octopus pouch by oktak • The jean necklace by pabrika

Row two: Vintage flats from ElasVintageFinds • Magenta skull cameo by dminortheory • Fascio Print by ableakney

Row three: Color for Trees Print by RuthieDesigns • Pink lemonade print by hhop • And our take on the trend, (good for grads and rad dads alike) the Rad card by us! (desTroy)

Credits and comments after the [...]]]> It came up on The Fashion Show the other week (admittedly on Merlin’s dress which got him kicked off): grey with yellow. I’ve been looking for it and thinking about it as a color combination a lot recently and it may be my new favorite. So effin beautiful together.

Credits and comments after the jump

Row 1:
Silk Headband from gemdropsjewelry — Very Summery and fun.

Sip & Repeat cocktail sticks by misspicklespress — I want to go to this hostess’ party.

Retro Camera Print by CB78 — This shop also has some terrific scooter illustrations. Rad line style.

Row 2:
Nashville Warbler from SandraHealy — I am very impressed with the quality of these models, and they’re totally reasonably priced.

Lightness Photograph by eyeful — I love how this print introduces the palest yellow and palest blue, without ever touching green, and pairs them with a warm grey. Delightful.

Barbie Dress on a Clothesline print from MichelleBrusegaard — I am torn as to whether I prefer this pale wash of yellow with grey or a more saturated, mustardy tone. Both look so fetching.

Row 3:
Sugar Plum Vines Photo by urbandesign — Lovely. As it is with many of these pieces, the magic third ingredient is a warm white.

Preen Magnet from mincingmockingbird — We have a magnet by her that says “it’s hard out there for a finch.” Hilare. Oh! All her stuff (well-painted birds, usually saying rude things) is half off til tomorrow! Tell her we sentcha.

Double Circle Earrings by  TreAnelli — Mod, chic, very Samantha.

Row 4:
Mod Card Case from  SewSaraBon — If you search for this color combo on Etsy, you will find one designer represented a whole lot: Amy Butler. She’s made several fantastic fabrics in this color scheme and lots of etsyians out there have made a range of awesome stuff using them; I didn’t want to crowd this roundup with pieces using her fabrics, but here’s one with a lively print cropped small.

The letter K Giclee Print from patchofsky — These painstakingly rendered rusted sign letters are quite interesting.

Grey and yellow dot pillow from Newleafworks — We’re keen on this new shop with pillows and bags made from sustainable wool felt, with modern cutout designs.

Row 5:
The best fish soup in Trondheim Linocut by EvelyneBouchard — Her linocuts are gorgeous. This particular grey and yellow feels very nostalgic to me, like crayons. In a good way.

Vintage Tie Coin Purse from ccstar — Shout-outs for upcycling! Great reuse of a tie (though seriously, I would have loved this tie!)

Unfamiliar Topography Coasters from sagedesign — Topstitched felt geometric pattern coasters; pretty great.

I seem incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t Blythe-related these days. Luckily for me, another gem arrived in the mail today. This yellow “pointy helmet” from Lunitas Knitting Shop is ridiculously adorable and makes me feel all warm and cheery.
