I'm in the throws of making a table runner...
a wooly good "goes with lots of things" runner...
sorting through my stash of light colored neutral wool...
cutting and more cutting
of small 'petals' to assemble...
In my eye...
dark coppery cinnamon and drab green
are both 'dark neutrals' !
(fingers crossed, this will somehow
'pull together' when completed.)
A lot of times, I just throw myself into an idea
and see where it goes.
The 'dark' and the 'light' play off of one another
and make the flowers or leaves (I haven't decided yet !)
the focus on the runner...
I'm using Valdani variegated Perle Cotton
in Aged White, medium, to applique the pieces in place.
This shade is perfect for blending with all of
the different shades of light colored wool.
