Something orange?

It’s another colour I don’t have much of – if you know what I mean, but it’s today’s challenge topic.

Fortunately the packaging industry is much keener on orange than I am – which means that a quick glance through my litter photos and a lot of muttering and swearing over Photoshop produced this. For once, it isn’t a PFAEC effect – just an extracted image, a textured background, and a trawl through the filters till I found one I liked.

And for once – I've done some sewing. Nothing at all to do with college, and not something I designed myself, just taken from a print-out of a bag pattern I got somewhere. Not my sort of colours [mmm – a hint of orange?], but based on the Chinese brocade you can just about see in the middle. I’ve been sitting in the conservatory enjoying a sunny interval and doing a bit of beading – very relaxing.

Of course, now it’s clouded over, and we are bracing ourselves for the arrival of [grand]father’s day well-wishers, so the beading has had to be put away.
