I have been needlepunching
in Valdani shades of Dark Antique Golds,
Bronze and Backyard Honeycomb.
Bronze and Backyard Honeycomb.
Rich, warm shades that I love
at this time of the year.
I usually don't have any trouble deciding
on colors for the main focus
of a design.
But the background can sometimes
be a little tricky !
When I worked on this design,
I was dreaming of a frosty background...
(on right)
This was NOT to be...
as I mentioned in a previous post,
the snowmen "melted" into the background.
My Winter Pine design fell to the same demise !
I actually really liked the color / design choices
on the right, but my nature is to
lean towards a "cleaner" / sharper design, (on the left).
I will usually place several different colors
next to the design, to see what might work.
I try to keep in mind the light / dark rule.
Dark against light and light against dark.
But, every so often I will break away
and try unusual or different colors...
and try unusual or different colors...
sometimes it works like a charm. ;)
Enjoy your weekend...
