On a dank and dismal day - what better than a splash of colour to brighten the mood? I know we've all got oodles of fabric in our stash, but why not throw a little inspiration out there...... you never know, you may have just these colours in your collection.  If not?  Oh well..... another feeble excuse to add a bit more. I'm thinking spring colours; fresh and bright.  I absolutely adore these colour combos - what do you think? Let's start off with a little spring lamb.  Loving the blue and green combo.  Very natural and muted. Lying in the sunshine - a beautiful cat, producing a wonderfully soft and gentle colourway. A new leaf in sunlight - gorgeous - zingy, fresh and smiley feelgood The colours of nature - peaceful and serene. Okay - bugger all to do with spring - but I love it! This combo is delicious in every way, but not quite my favourite.... drumroll...... It's this, This, THIS! This one!  All my...

For some time I've found myself rather in love with all the lovely colour palette images I find on Pinterest.  I repin them with a certain fervour, with no thought whatsoever what I may do to them. Today whilst twiddling my thumbs and trying to find something to occupy my mind, I thought - "Why not combine some of them into a collage?" And here we are.  A bit of fiddling around with word, the addition of a few text boxes - and voila - an A3 print on canvas, all ready to frame.  It's come out looking really good, it's a shame the photo doesn't do it justice.  The print is crisp and clear, with the colours beautifully muted and toning.  I think this will make a lovely addition to my sewing room.  Now to find a frame!
