I have been planning for some time now to create a line of clay work with 1950′s and 1980′s themes and this week I finally started mixing colours.

At this point I’m skipping red, navy and black and white and will mix French blue, hot pink and baby pink alongside the colours shown in the photo to team with black.
Why the 50′s? I wrote previously why I’m attracted to that era here.
