April: Delft Blue
Apr 03, 2012
Are you feeling blue this month? With spring in the air and blossoms everywhere, I am definitely not! But I am very much feeling our amazing April ‘Colour of the Month’: Delft Blue. I love this deep Mediterranean blue by Fine Paints of Europe, which is inspired by Delft pottery, the tin-glazed, blue and white pottery made in the Netherlands from the 16th century.
