**due to many requests, I have included a payment plan option. Second instalment will be due end of August/early September.
This years Advent, VEIL, is filled with gentle yet strong, considered yet unexpected and soft but intense colourways. It's concept lies in exposing hidden colours we find in the dark, and exposing the hidden colours we find in the brightest of light. Picking up on the tiny highlights of colour we see in the corner of our eyes in the shadows, or the prisms of light that reveal themselves to us in sweet and gentle light.
Although not quite a Christmas theme, my other advents also strayed from the norm. Veil will be cosy and sublime all at once, with a hint of slight mysticalness. There will be twenty-four colours that explore the nature between light and dark, but please don't expect a spectrum of whites and greys and blacks, I'm sure most of you by now know that's not what Olann is about.
Colourways are not following a "storyline" this year, as done so in previous years, but rather follow a natural rhythm and flow between each colour based on the theme of "colours found between light and dark". This years Advent will almost certainly be presented in a fade order, although the colours may show themselves to me differently as I go through the process of creating.. but for now, in my head, they are a fade :)
