Summer's here

Not that you would know with the incessant rain and fog (hey it is NS) but I have hope that the sun will shine again :). So I need to dream up some great summer colour combinations. I'm loving the citrus right now : orange crush, sweet lime, sour lemon, plus black cherry/pomegranate and of course STRAWBERRY. Summer is all about the fruit it seems. Can't forget the aqua, turquoise and white, plus the brilliant greek blue. I would love to pair a chalky blue with a soft buttery yellow (a la provence) but its hard to find that perfect yellow--I know I don't have one in my stash, must keep looking on-line! In the meantime here are a few things I have in mind:

  • ocean reef beads (i've done these before, love them) for a themed charm bracelet.
  • bangles with a single focal bead
  • soldered brass/copper rings for necklace
  • stamped sterling rings with oh my god look at me now beads
  • asymmetric necklace with my glass flowers
  • make a photo studio to take better pictures (really its just setting up a space with tripod and backdrop plus a filter, I'll take pictures of the process...)


should keep me busy for a while! Oh and one more thing, look at this (why I need a photo set up):

Springtime yarn and glass button

A new handyed colourway in soft pinks and greens, plus a matching glass button. Both donated to WWKNIP (world wide knit in public) day as prizes.
