Somewhere along the line I discovered a little trick. Whenever I'm floundering a bit with ideas or feeling uninspired or without focus, I fall back to my favorites. Shades of teal and turquoise with brown or tan are like a favorite pair of slippers - all warm and welcoming. I'm not quite sure why, but these colors in most any combination make me feel calm and centered.
I recently ran across these amazing buttons in one of my all-too-frequent shopping frenzies (my mail carrier hates me, I'm sure). I got the teal tree and the white-washed version as well, but I ended up adding some teal to the leaves of the tree on the white one for that extra special little "something".
For dragon fans, I also found a cool dragon button:
I think the teal therapy is working, by the way. I feel better already :)

These bracelets with their special focals are beautiful and the colors are you. My favorite colors also. I am so glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your macrame is always fabulous, and the I especially love the tree buttons. I'm finding myself using teal and turquoise more and more as go-to colors. I also believe my mail carrier is not fond of me. Although, really, we are providing job security! :)
