Luscious Brown Fabrics

I’ve really been having fun playing with these fabrics. This photo shows my initial fabric audition.

Aren’t they great? They’re all dyed by me.

I did a little editing and thought I was ready to compose. What now?

I tend to arrange fabrics vertically when auditioning, so I decided to stretch a few  horizontally. Just to see.

I didn’t think that worked so well, but it did get my brain to move away from the purely vertical pieces. What if I arranged the two dominant fabrics in a diagonal arrangement?

Yes, that seemed better.

Time to audition a few accent colors. Since my accent fabrics were so much brighter than my main ones I knew I’d have to use them in very small amounts. Otherwise, they’d take over.

I felt like I was moving in the right direction at this point. I knew it was time to throw some curves into the mix.
