I watched this video twice and thinking of the goodies that I can find in my stash.....hhhhhmmmmm.  I love your cool and shimmery.  I am in a warm and dazzling mood, so let me see what I can find.

With your exotic color choices, I look forward to seeing how you declare, "Warm and Dazzling".  It will be something wonderful, no doubt.  I need to send you lots of texture pics taken in New Orleans and on a hike on the way home.

Thanks, Robbin.  New Orleans is my birthplace, but we left when I was a little girl.  We used to visit my grandmothers every year until I was a teenager.  Three or 4 carloads of us would travel from Nevada and California and the children would spend the summers with our grandmothers.  So many wonderful memories.

You can tie diverse pieces together with something over top.  Think about a particular ribbon running through, in and out of all of them.  Add stuff later (embroidery, buttons, beads) to tie it all together.  Don't let this be a stopping point, but rather a challange to reach a new level in creativity, beyond your comfort zone.

Great advice, Robbin.  It gives me more to think about, too.  I do have lots of stuff to use, but that can also be a problem, with decision making.

Linda, the thrift shop is a good place to go on a treasure hunt for interesting pieces.  Try looking at dresses (women and little girls), vests, lace, ribbons, mens ties, etc., it doesn't take much.
