Something I Noticed
A palette of water jars…
After last week’s Hand Painted Market Bag workshop, I began to clear everyone’s water jars, and the sight of them stopped me in my tracks.
Six jars. Six colours. An unexpectedly sweet palette that just happened—the way the best things often do—while we were busy making something else entirely.
I snapped a pic of the jars right away. That’s the thing about noticing—if you don’t pause and reflect, moments disappear without ceremony, time hurries along, and our days become a blur.
Here’s the palette for you—in HEX codes—inspired by the water jars.

Dusty Blush • #C9A89A
