Orange, Green and Brown
I don't usually enjoy getting mail-order catalogs... actually, I hate it.... most of the time. There are a few that I have actually asked to be sent to me and one arrived today. When catalogs like this make their way to my doorstep, the first thing I do is leaf through and tear out every page that intrigues me. I get very little design inspiration as I loathe copy-cats and refuse to be one but there is a wealth of color inspiration to be found! This page in particular has inspired my next fabric project.
I loved the combination of orange, green and brown with an ever-so-slight touch of violet and so gathered together a little bundle of pretty trims and fabrics to match the scheme. Here are a few photos - I hope they offer some inspiration to you, too!

I think your creation will be better than anything I saw on that catalog page!
ReplyDeleteI keep pics of color schemes I like too. I need color mix inspiration. I'm not that great with it.
I find I have trouble staying current. I know you always hear people say things like "Follow your muse!" but I find my color (and, many times, fashion) sensibilities are still in the 80's or 90's. I have to force myself to embrace the shades and tones in style today. The handful of truly beautiful fashion and jewelry catalogs I get help a lot! :)
