Lets Get Shabby Challenge 11 Entry


Hello and Welcome Again 
Today' s Post is
ALL ABOUT COLOUR!!
Autumn Colours in particular... 
 
Here's This Month's Challenge
At Lets Get Shabby

Here in Australia at the moment its Autumn!
And maybe where you live its Spring!!
Either way, look at this incredible Quilt.
Be inspired however you like...
It would be nice to see you include some fabric somewhere
But remember...
its a
COLOUR CHALLENGE

And Here is My Take on the Challenge....

I decided to have a go at a Wall Hanging 
Using Autumn Colours...
Yes... stepping way outside of my comfort zone....
Oh I do love colour and am inspired it... 
But will confess I usually work in pastels...
As you know.... :)

So The Colours I have used are 
Burgundy, Chartreuse, Chocolate, Yellow and Wheat... 


The fabrics I have used are strips of silk in those colours
Wrapped around a Chipboard Circle to Create the Frame...
And some Muslin to Frame the Image...


 And a Close Up....
So thanks so much for the Challenge LGS Girls!!!
Really enjoyed this step Outside my Comfort Zone!
Looking forward to next Month...

The Papers and Flowers are by PRIMA.
Other items used include Fabrics, Muslin, Distress Ink in Old Paper and Wild Honey,
Chipboard, MM Metal Embellishment, Ink Pear Tart, Bird,
Lace and a good old fashioned Cup of Tea!!!

The Gorgeous Image I used is from
Magic Moonlight

Thanks for visiting.... 
Bye for Now,
