So lovely to see where the colour pallete comes from!

Your colour combos are stunning Emily, you really have an amazing eye for unlikely combinations – and they work beautifully. Love the simplicity of the design itself, so the focus is all about the colours.
These colours are gorgeous – so warm and vibrant. Love the way the red gives an exclamation mark (!) in the palette. Thanks Emiliy.
Nothing better than someone who understands colour. You are amazing, beautiful inspiration and a real treat to see the design process. Thank you !!
Love the spotty water colour. So much inspiration in all of these colours. They make me feel warm and fuzzy, perfect for winter!
Hi
I think i’ve seen your necklaces at Mr. Kitly and think they are beautiful.
great colours..
Such inspiring work…( especially for a first year design student following in your big steps!) Loved yr spotty watercolor and lino prints too … just beautiful
You really do have such a knack with colour. Delectable!
Beautiful use of colours and hand made material! Love your neckalces :)
So so beautiful and happy and fun.
Love the inspirational photos and the end result! Just georgeous
The colour palette for the Julia necklace is so beautiful! It makes me think of cups of tea and crisp winter days with spring on the way!
Colour theory – I reckon it’s colour therapy!! The colours zing with their own energy!!
Really cool idea for pulling a colour palette. It adds the idea of texture, balance and context to the thought process which gets much more creative combinations than starting with just flat colours.
Your colour combos shake my mainstream, predictable, approach, right out of my tree.
loving the nordic embroidery!!
looking forward to more colourful posts on the guest blog this week =)
god, love that colour combo – not something you see everywhere
These necklaces made my Monday. Fact. So gorgeous
That necklace is adorable! Love the jeweled colours and the chunkiness of each hoop makes me want to bite them :) I love the yellow shoes too!
To died for colour palette. Love the necklaces. Thanks for firing up the creative juicers.
Emily, you have used such a diverse range of inspiration to form your colour bases – thank you for sharing them with us. Really makes me look at colours and textures differently.
All so yummy! I could happily frame your inspirations! Your necklaces are beautiful simplicity, just gorgeous.
Heh heh RAD shoes! x
Love the textures in the lino print!

Love this colour combo. Super spunky.
love emily’s work – I have a pair of her earings in duck-egg blue. The necklace is beautiful & i luff her choice of colours & the way she arranges these colours (and her inspiration behind this decision)…x
That green keyboard is so cool! I love this colour combo.
I love the way Emily plays with colour – but I love even more seeing the colour palettes and discovering these combos are not just part of playtime, so much thought and personal experience goes into them! Also love the yellow hasbeens. Delightful.
Wow, just loving these vibrant colours!!
Loving this guest blog series! Tantilising and mesmerising colour palettes – nice work Emily Green!
I’d love to see a green-hued necklace too… (big fan of green!)
