I’m always pleasantly surprised when odd color combinations end up looking pretty and intriguing when they are spread through a pattern.
There actually was a little thought in my color selection for this piece. It started off with Christmas colors and somehow drifted off into frosted sugar cookies colors. I guess that’s still in keeping with a Christmas theme even if it is a little bit of a stretch.
The pink and mint green really “shouldn’t” work with the other shades – but add non-matching colors in enough spaces and it’s eventually going to look intentional. Now I’m finding that the more I look at it, the more I like it. I know all of these colors from past Christmases across the years and the warping of time so that a mix of memorable color shades all come together for the first time has a very sweet quality.
I’m having a rather hard time believing that it’s already nearing the end of November – but the parts of my unconscious mind that guide me when I pluck markers out of the marker box apparently know what they are doing, lol.
