What color is Burning Man?

Post by geospyder » Tue May 01, 2012 8:50 am

Going to pick up some Phyllo clay today to make gifting pendants for this year. Last year I did solid colors, mainly white but did make a few black, yellow, orange and yellow. This year I want to mix colors so the clay is not solid but swirled. I am not an artist, I'm just trying to make something handmade to gift out so I'm open to suggestions. I want to keep it to just two colors if possible. Any suggestions?

so really if you got red and yellow where it mixes you could end up with orange and have three colors for the price of two? I've not played with that stuff so don't know how they blend.

Some types of pigments will rise upward in a kelm, while other heaver types will sink into the first. Creating a smoke / flame like effect. Just need to play around with it. Why not do all shorts of colours for the pendants?

If purple and gold is good enough for Byron, it should be good enough for the rest of us.

Or blue and red.

That's what my wife suggested. Maybe I can mix in a pinch of Playa dust to make them even more unique :D

To me Burning man is neon blue mixed with neon green mixed with neon pink mixed with neon red and in the end has the "WTF is that colour!" look.
In my world there's only legible and more legible.

Going with biege and tan with a pinch of Playa dust mixed in. We'll bake the first batch sometime later this month and post a picture.

On Saturday night he is very much the color of FIRE. Hard to do the color of fire with less than 100 hues.
