Your Crazy Ideas?......part 2
Where do you get your ideas, inspirations for work? Just asking!
I was looking at some of my silk jackets and was struck by color combos that I have not used or at least not used very often. I love the way dyes take to silk. I can see more fooling around experimenting in the near future to get the surface I want. Most of my designs have an organic feel to them, but I am beginning to try to incorporate some design elements that are more geometric.
Looking at these reminds me to try new color combos. I am drawn to the third from the top. Grayed colors can be difficult to get.....adding a little black just turns them to mud. The trick is probably going to find a light gray and add color to it. As I said, experimentation is in the near future!
I have a rose in bloom! This is a bush that inadvertently was almost demolished a year and a half ago. I nursed it through last summer and winter and it seems to be recovering nicely. It has a least two more buds on it. On advice I have used Miracle Gro when I water. I've also sprayed with Safer's Soap and fungicide. Toes crossed that it will continue to bloom and grow.
It's sunny today and warming up. Yesterday was actually cool enough to need a sweatshirt, with rain for the better part of the day.
I'm hoping for one of our long, mild falls.
Enjoy the day and as always, thanks for stopping by..............*s*
