anti-heroine

Ever make something you want to disown immediately after you've created it? You don't even want to fix it? You just treat it kind of like Frankenstein treated his monster? Post it here!

Let me know I'm not alone. =]

Yep, I have several:

capture the flower

brown hair/blue eyes

need a career change

falling fast

GreenMyEyes

I thought this idea sounded amusing, but the result was awful. Why, oh why, did I post it?

Red, White, and Blue

i think i was deliriously hungry at the time...


baked potato

coopsta, I kind of like "baked potato"!

For me, it was this one:

South African Prelat

It was not the first time I had created a palette out of words rather than colors, and two of my others had been pretty successful, but this one... I don't know. The color combo is pretty bizarre, and after it was submitted I remembered that Rev. Tutu had been elevated to Archbishop quite a while ago, but archbishop was green, which looked even stranger, so I just left it.

Maybe I'll re-use it for something else someday. When you change the colors, can you also change the name?

anti-heroine

Ah yeah. It always seems like a good idea at the time. =b

I think you can, won't know for sure til you try. =]

...what was I thinking?!

I feel better knowing others hate some of their things too.

coastal sidetrackqlassik cleanthink green

Especially with 'qlassik clean'. I get the feeling that there was too little unity so it looked disorganised...unlike, say, 'Calendar Scenes', where all the colours are in harmony with each other.

I am just hating most of the palettes I first made. I feel they are sooo childish and naive. Yuck. I would delete these palettes in a blink of an eye! My least favorite is 'Circus Old'. What was I thinking?

Cherry Isolation

Monster Salad

Because of Him

Circus Old

Poison No. 2 : Greed

ventilatorblues

i still wonder why, oh why did i made this one
my my hey hey

it's horrible :D

velveteen

some of the things posted here are GORGEOUS... this thread makes me glad we don't have the option to delete our palettes/patterns. (:

BUT...

levity.

is one among many.

Neropatti

My very first palette. I was just seeing how it works... It has a stupid name and it's kind of ugly. The only thing good about this palette is that I got my first 2 CL thanks to it. If someone wouldnt have left me a comment in the start I probably would have moved on from this site a long ago.

Sand's Away

Koço is a lover, how sweet of him....

bunigrl33

Never make palettes when you're hungry...
Ravioli

This one was my first, I don't hate it, but now I think it's kinda lame.

I think those are actually quite lovely!

I have so many I regret making... most were concept palettes of some sort, made with something other than sheer aesthetics in mind. Here are some:
Trueflight
Get Away
Muted Anna
Polka-Dot Bikini

Amaranthine

some of these that have been posted are actually pretty good. but we all have our regrets or things that could've been better... Beach House Nos Izer What's All This?

Some ideas start meaning well but just crash. At least some look better in widths?, if that scrapes up any redemption. I think that last one just says it. =P In more ways than one, ouch.

Chainlinks

this one's just like, "....ok...and?"

Love Nugget

Harley at Bike Week
...I completely slaughtered someone's Harley Davidson palette. I'm pretty ashamed.

Wedding Night
I'm actually happy with this one now, I salvaged it from a horrible palette using the soul white and a crimson red. And I happened upon two rather fittingly named pastel colors on the first shot. (Scared Child and Lilita - which is a gorgeous painting).

Spent Youth
Some poor tween went hog wild in Pottery Barn Teen and JCPenny. D:

zombiesugar

I think some of the palettes posted here look pretty good too.

Game of LIFE

I've been playing to many board games. This is the last one I'll probably ever do based on a board game.

lizcrimson

this one recently. as you can see, nobody else liked it either. that's just fine with me. what was i thinking?

For some reason a whole heap of stuff doesn't seem to be working properly. Noone's palettes/patterns are showing up on their profiles, just the bio and recent comments, I can't edit anything and none of the drop down menus are working.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

I just love this. The peachy colours look so calming and serene and then there's the grey and the turquoise which gives off a 50's feel (which I just love on its own). It's a perfect colour palette for this summer.
