Colour.

Debbie brought along some colorful knitting cottons purchased in Bath.They are very good quality and as useful for embroidery.Good clear zingy colour.

There were about a dozen or so colours but she was very good and didn't buy them all!

Continuing with the theme of colour Ira had brought along the book "Exploring Colour" written by the late Julia Caprara.She had used one  of the ideas in the book to create a sketchbook reference for colour stotries.

A rich  page using a whole variety of collected items to explore blue green.

and another referencing rusts,orange and gold.A lasting inspiration to turn to again and again.
