The colours chosen for week six and the last week of this lovely challenge are Sage and Sepia. <\/p>\n

One of my lovely ice cream dishes is Sepia in colour <\/p>\n

\"Sepia<\/a><\/p>\n

and I have sage growing in the garden so I had a play.<\/p>\n

I was in a lovely town near to us and found a couple of interesting things in various shops. The ladies behind the counter were so lovely and helpful and intrigued by the challenge. They were happy to let me take pictures of the colours I was looking for without making a purchase. Well that’s not exactly<\/em> true. I did buy something totally unrelated to the subject. I am so weak when confronted with something pretty.<\/p>\n

My favourite fabric & wool shop also happens to be in this town so I bought a couple of pieces of fabric and some ribbon to make the bunting. <\/p>\n

In another shop were some fabulous wall hangings. I would love to give you the link for them but it isn’t working. I know you would love them too so I’ll try to describe them to you. I only took a photo of a small part of one of them so that I could make my index card with it.<\/p>\n

So a wall hanging 5ft x 3ft. Based on a Kandinsky painting: concentric circles<\/a><\/p>\n

Each circle and square was crocheted wool chains. It was crocheted with a small<\/em> hook, I looked very closely! Every part of every shape was beautifully shaped with the chain to follow the lines in the pattern. The wall hanging that I liked was \u00a3260.00 so needless to say it is still hanging in the shop.
\nHere is my index card before I did anything with it. If you click on the picture you will be able to see some detail. I haven’t finished my card yet. I am having to limit my time on the computer because it is just tooo hot in my room.<\/p>\n

\"Sage<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you wave the card around in Photoshop a couple of times,
\nthis happens<\/strong><\/p>\n

a dress I noticed in a charity shop<\/strong>
\n\"sage<\/a> <\/p>\n

and a dish on an antique stall<\/strong>
\n\"sepia<\/a><\/p>\n

Six weeks of colour, in bunting now flying in my garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sage<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bunting<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Bunting<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes there are more than 6 flags, I made two in each colour.<\/p>\n

Thank you Kristen<\/a> for this challenge which was not only great fun but encouraged me to use colours I wouldn’t normally use and<\/em> make bunting!<\/p>\n

If you got to here…Thank you. You are a good and patient person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
