LOUD PINK and LIME GREEN

I have been taking Jackson out walking very early in the morning whilst it has been so hot. As usual I have had my camera with me but the bright sunshine has not been conducive to taking pictures as everything has a slightly bleached quality. I have however been looking closely at the beautiful pink wild flowers against the backdrop of green foliage. So many different pinks and greens to admire and there it was, a new colour scheme!

Later in the cool of the evening and the passing of the intense sun I found some pastel pink flowers and fresh green foliage in the garden. The following day feeling quite inspired I decided to have a mini dyeing session in the garage of all places as it was the coolest spot to be found and much to the neighbours amusement! It was never my intention to reproduce the colours verbatim which was just as well as the greens edged towards lime and the pinks were quite loud but they complemented each other rather well I thought.






The only thing left to do was to find a suitable project for my new fabrics and that was easily solved. My beloved grandchildren had stayed the previous weekend and as usual had found their way into my work room in the search for treasure. We ended up making boxes to house my beads (or should I say their beads!!) but on the way discovered a pair of cushion pads buried under fabric; as soon as it cools down my next project looks to be designing decorative cushion covers.
