I made subtle changes in the color palette. The most dramatic change is in the background. White was included for that purpose. I just couldn't go there. I'm thinking I will square off this composition and have my friend C~ use this as the front panel of a sewing tote or maybe a small bag for one of my granddaughters. White wouldn't last long in that application! I debated over pale green, yellow, or blue. I'm hoping the pale blue I chose will contrast enough with the blue of the bird's head to be effective.
See what other selfish sewing is happening around the world over at Granny Maud's Girl!
Great idea for a pocket on a bag. Our friend Joyce does like doing stitcheries, and they are wonderful to have on a bag pocket, and show them off. I like your idea of not using white.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I think that blue should be pale enough. A friend of mine back in the UK used to have a small wall cupboard with glass panelled doors, and she had an embroidered panel behind each door because the contents weren't pretty enough to be on display! It was a great way to showcase the embroidery and hide the clutter!
ReplyDeleteI think the pale blue is the right way to go! it is so soft and gentle. It goes the the bird so well!

I always love white as a background colour, but I can see how it is not always the most practical colour.
ReplyDeleteI guess a pale beige would still show any dirt?
That will be lovely with a blue background. I like that is relatively simple, but really attractive. It will make a great bag!
