Skittles of Glass Penny Rounds

 

BLOSSOM

THE DETAILS

Blossom Black Glass Penny Rounds

I call this series the Skittles of glass penny rounds! It’s a fun palette, with some bright pops of color, including Aquamarine, Ruby Red and Honey, as well as some nice metallics; Gold and Grey (with a lovely silvery champagne tone to it), and the staple colors; Black and White. The Black reminds me of peacock feathers, containing overtones of emerald green, gold and purple on the black body.

THE APPLICATION
These colorful glass pennies are a great option if you’re tired of the neutral penny palette. They will also give your design greater depth than the traditional porcelain pennies. And if youā€™re looking to use penny rounds, for say, a dress, they work wonderfully for that as well! Check out the award-winning dress design by Perkins Eastman for the IIDA Stitch event that took place in Chicago in March ~ a truly awesome design!

STARLITĀ 

THE DETAILS

Starlit TileStarlight Tile in SilverOften find yourself searching forĀ ‘that’Ā grey or ‘that‘ white? Starlit is the answer – every time. Take Benjamin Mooreā€™s Edgecomb Gray HC-173 down a couple of notches and BAM, you have Warm White! Don’t be scared by the name (it doesn’t have pink undertones). Starlit also offers a great ice white option: Bright White glazed (suitable for wall only because it does not pass DCOF). All other colors are through-body. The shades of warm and cool grays hit different areas of the gray spectrum, always important for this neutral! And last but not least, Black; you don’t always have the option of matte and polished black in the same series ā€“ this collection fills that niche!

THE APPLICATION

I can see this going in a hotel bathroom where you would want a monolithic look, but budget prohibits using a large format gauged tile; the 24’x24′ tile will give you that aesthetic. I also like the ability to play with the matte and polished finishes; this allows you to take a monochromatic palette and add some visual interest to it.
