progress! works of progress, to be exact. i'm quite pleased with the start of the series of windsees that i'm piecing together from the bounty of vintage scraps i bought from etsy. the one showing on the top is probably the most crazy combination, most of the others are based more clearly around a colour scheme. for a few i decided to experiment and put together any old pieces, just to shake things up a bit. it reminded me of a colour exercise we did in design school where we had to pick our two least favourite colours and then do a layout using them - the results were surprising, most of them were unexpectedly lovely together. sometimes breaking your own rules can be quite refreshing :)
that sounds like a great exercise. i am soooo picky about my colors, a task like that would Really stretch me!
ReplyDeletelovely combinations you have there!
;)
Oh! I can't wait to see the finished windsees! They are going to be super cute, I can tell already. ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe. I did a similar exercise last semester in one of my design classes. I'm such a stickler for "matching colors properly" that it really made me sit back and realize I didn't *always* have to... lol.
I can't wait to see the finished windsees!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I keep trying to think of my 2 least favorite colors and I can't even come up with that! :)
