I'm really liking the combination of chocolatey-rich browns with the pinks.
At times I stress about what colours go where and if this colour should really be used and so on (ie have I got too many different shades of pink here?!) but then I was looking at some roses I cut for the table the other day. I had flowers from lots of different plants and realised it was quite a mish-mash of colours, lots of different shades of pink and the odd red and it didn't matter at all!! They looked great! (And smelt lovely too!) So maybe I need to lighten up a bit in my colour arranging and not worry so much!! The photo doesn't illustrate what I mean very well but I hope you see what I'm trying to say.
Hi Raewyn! Just had to stop by and thanks so much for your comment about my needleturn tutorial. You'll have to tell me - do I still sound like a Kiwi?!! My family in NZ thinks I sound so American yet every day here, after 11 years, I'm still asked where I'm from. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I see you're a dairy farmer in Northland. Which part? We used to vacation up there a lot. My sister and her family live in Pahia - they run the backpackers there and love it! We are originally from Dunedin but I grew up mainly in Hamilton.
Now onto the question of too many pinks - I would do even more!! I understand exactly what you are saying with the roses. Great example:) I find you can pick a color family(pink in this case) and absolutely any combination of pinks will work together. You could even go into the reds and peaches and still be OK. It looks beautiful!
