Favorite Color Tool Apps

2/04/2017 04:00:00 AM

In the world of design, color plays a big role. Whether in the printable we make, book layouts, social media images, color is an element we can not avoid. After a thousand of images processed, I consider the color tool apps helpful when it comes to designing.

My Favorite Color App Tools

  1. Colornfo - The very first color app I've used and still a go-to when choosing color. Bookmarked for ease of use. Type or paste the color code. Click search then you're good to go. It provides information about colors, provides conversion equivalent to other color spaces and generates matching color schemes. Here I discovered that every color has a name. Yes, Outer Space is a color name.
  2. Color-hex - Specialize on converting colors to hex.
  3. Paletton - Make palettes of 4 colors from a single color sample. You may also refine your color option. 
  4. Pictaculous - Want to make a color palette out of a picture? Pictaculous can help. Upload the picture on the website, wait then boom! Brought to you by Mailchimp. 
  5. Kuler - Get inspiration from graphic artists on this color palette collection of Adobe. I also save some color palettes from my previous projects for future reference. 
This is a secret. I am obsessed with color palettes. I'm sharing my sharing them with you. Click on the board below.

#RuralMomTries To Make Easy Homemade Playdoh

2/02/2017 04:41:00 PM

Toddlers love texture. My 2 year old is in the stage where we doesn't want to wear slippers while at home. She loves to play with water. Giggles when she rubs her hand on my tummy and enjoys brushing my hair. Of all the toys she had, Play Doh has a special place. She received a set on her 2nd birthday but was gone in 5 days. I liked the fact that she likes it. But at the same time hates that a pricey toy goes to waste fast. Not to mention the stain on the floor and other fixtures.

I can forego the hate as long as she's happy. So to skip wasting precious money on a price-y version, why not make one. I came across a Homemade Playdoh recipe from Melbourne Mum. It does not require cream of tartar. According to her, cream of tartar contains aluminum. She's right, I don't want my child to play with aluminum.

Easy Homemade Playdoh Recipe

  • A cup of flour (packed)
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp oil 
  • food color (optional)
  1. In a sauce pan, combine all the ingredients. Mix well until homogeneous.
  2. Place over slow heat and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Playdoh is done when the mixture changed consistency similar to mashed potato.
  4. Food coloring can be kneaded with the Playdoh while it's still lukewarm. I also liked the idea of putting a drop of your favorite essential oil unto the dough.
  5. You may adjust the oil to 2 tbsp if the recipe comes out too greasy.
Approximated shelf life: 5 days
Yield: About a size of 2 golf balls.

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes plus cooling time. The result will be an unlimited hours of fun (read: busy hours) for your toddler.

You may stock them in your old Playdoh canisters or microwaveable containers.
