It's amazing how inspiring a small project can be for us-like a small craft project, I mean.
A while back I found this scrap of teal blue jacket fabric from someone's trenchcoat. I saw it and immediately thought of it as a bracelet! Over the next few days when I had free time I'd run to the costume shop for maybe 10 minutes and stitch what I could. I did some basic embroidery all up the fabric, made it functional with snaps. The embroidery starts at a deep orange and ends at white, sort of like a sunset, and the scale is flanked on both sides by a nice cobalt blue.
I really enjoyed making this project, actually. It was almost a special favor to myself or something, getting to do it. Of course I'm grateful to the costume shop, but for my own edifiaction, I suppose, I really enjoyed the project. It keeps me fresh and thinking to have a small creative challenge like that one.
