Re: Anyone hate working with specific colors?

As a rule I try to avoid them.
I did make a pendant using some amethyst chips because they were the only ones available to me at the time.

A few years ago on the group we had a contest for making something in a colour we did not like. I made a beaded tassel. I was fortunate to win the contest. The prize was donated by Kathy NV and her daughter pulled the name out of the hat. The prize was 50 dollars but rather than try to get cash to me I got some of Kandice Seeber's beads instead.

My dislike stems from a childish thing. During world war two when I was at school. Everything was in short supply and the only paints they had at school was the few basic primary colours. A violent purple was one. I used to get a headache when using it. Never like it since.
Also if I put purple, mauve or violet coloured clothes on me I look awful and sallow looking. Just not my colour.

I will not use it in embroidery either.
Hugs
Shirley

Does that mean you never use purple shades in your designs??
