These were the given colours for this week’s Värikollaasit. The butterfly is a common brimstone, or in Latin a Gonepteryx rhamni. In Finnish as well as in German we call it a lemon butterfly. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any lemon pictures or lemons on hand. Maybe I’ll send Mr Eklastic to the stores later today.

A colour collage for Värikollaasit. More collages based on the given cinnamon colours
can be found here.
Kala namak is one of the Indian names of Indian black salt, the inspiration for today’s Värikollaasit:

Aino’s template for the Värikollaasit / Colour Collage this week were these peppery colours:
and I played around. This collage is too blue but I love the swan and his prominent beak:
I then took other beaks into the mix: swan, duck, goose, and stork:
And here I contrasted the softness of a painting with the starkness of a cartoon:
And I can’t make up my mind which I like best.
If you want to have a look what others did with the pepper spice colour, have a look.
This colour collage based on Aino’s template:
needs a bit of an explanation, I fear. Aino named the colour “lovage” (after the herb) which the automatic translator from Finnish to English turned into “lipstick“. Isn’t it obvious that I had to use this lipstick using monkey in my collage?

Another spicy colour collage based on the colours of sumac. My collage is a bit redder than the template because the sumac in my kitchen has a definite reddish tint.
