I had some time today to piece my block using the colours from SharonB's August challenge ( http://sharonb.wordpress.com ). When I first started looking through my stash I was afraid I wouldn't come up with the colours, but I think I did pretty well. I'm not a lover of brown, so it was difficult for me to use that colour. However, once I get this embellished I think I will really like it.
603rd post! Two more left for you to enter the giveaway. I started packing the box today and there are already lots of goodies in there for the winner. There's room for lots more too!!

You did well picking the colors Sharon chose for the August Challenge.

brown's not my favorite colour either... I've found it helps me to use it if I think of it as a dark/dirty yellow/orange :-) but its still not "popular"

delightful account of a rural life in Oklahoma which is where I grew up.
and of course Magpie
There are so many more that I read almost daily. You notice not one of these three has to do with sewing or collaging (word) or creating with your hands. Isn't that peculiar when that is what I like to do most!

Picked up on this one via Studio Journal course. She gives really great detailed instructions on her work and does the type of work which is really right up my street... that's all for now folks. Hope I got the addys right.
Your block looks great---I didn't see brown on my computer I saw maroon.
ReplyDeleteJust redo the rusting and leave it for a long while :} Brown can be chocolate after all!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your block for TIF... mine is looking very similar to yours after the piecing stage. I'll be loving to drop in and see how yours develops with your embellishing.
