Decisions decisions.
When I last posted about the current
Journey2Nebula project, Rock Candy, these first two were the arrangements I had started out with. I settled on the second one, having the darker grey make a prominent star in the center.
I decided to play around with it before just sewing it together and being unhappy with it, and I'm glad I did! Here I tried to put the lightest colors on the outside. But it doesn't quite work.
More fiddling around, looking much better, but my eye keeps getting stuck on that super dark grey with white plus signs.
Ahhh much better. Worth the time to cut a few extra pieces of fabric. Still pretty dark, but not as contrasty within the fabric shape itself.
I think this might be the final version that I've landed on. But I am still hesitating to start sewing it together. Maybe I'll just dive in. I like the dramatic look the dark grey background gives this piece in process.
I really struggled with this one as well. I didn't like the way it came out. I haven't started Gazebo yet or finished Candy Dish. Maybe this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of a struggle getting the colors right. I think if I'd used solids it would have worked out better instead of my very random selection of fabrics. I haven't started Candy Dish or Gazebo yet. We should do a sew-a-long video call or something to work on them.
