This weeks colour choice is Charcoal Grey and Pale Pink.
This seems like a sophisticated colour combination to me which would explain why I don’t have any of these colours in my stash! In the vintage fabric stash the pale pink is teamed with brown…I’m sure I remember that in the 60’s?
I have been wanting to play with my felting things for ages so this might be the perfect project.
I have a very lovely charcoal grey cashmere sweater piece of felt just asking to have some pink flowers or something felted to it.
Bunting felted with scraps of fabric, silk and ribbons
This is the reverse side which I love
I felted some sari silk onto the cuff of the cashmere… a ribbed piece of felt added some glass beads and attached it to some card.

I had a photo of a pink poppy and wondered if I could turn it into something Pink & Grey for the challenge. I was just giving up when I remembered I had some pictures of a venetian blind. I had a play.
This is the kind of thing I was hoping for
Poppy behind the Blind
I was making my picture for CY365 for the 1st of July when one particular blending mode revealed this! I love it and doesn’t it look like the reverse of the felted bunting triangle?
Serendipity
I love how things come together sometimes don’t you?
You did a great job! I love the poppy photograph and the reverse felting especially.

Miriam your creativity is on fire – can you bottle it! As I scrolled down I loved each piece and was in awe of the different techniques you used in one week. and I had to laugh at your comment that the colour way seemed sophisticated so no surprise it wasn’t in your fabric stash
You’ve made beautiful things here – and my favourite is the right side of the bunting triangle. Oh yes, I remember pink and brown; still works I think :).
I love your felting – the bunting is beautiful and I laughed at the cashmere jumper comments! I also love what you’ve done with the photo of the poppy – it looks amazing.
I love all of your projects! The poppy behind the blind photo is especially beautiful! You ROCKED this week’s SOC colors!
Lovely interpretations of the pink and grey SOC theme Miriam, enjoyed them all. btw, your week 4 SOC link goes to your ‘lime green and purple’ post.

I wanted to let you know that the lime and green post was linked under pink and grey. If you noticed your number change, it’s only because I corrected the link. Thank you! xoxo
Gorgeous paint work at the bottom, and I love the photo as well. Though I am completely in love with the bunting. Stunning work. It is glorious!!
