Crochet

Mand-a-long catching up and colour ideas.

Hello all you Mand-a-longers!

Chrissie and I were wondering how your mandalas are coming along?

I am sure you have made more than me, because I have been sewing too.

Here is mine so far….it is from Nicki Trenches Book for Debbie Bliss called ‘crochet living’

They are really doilies, I am making them for my Mum, but when is a doily not a Mandala? and vice versa?

You may have noticed I have gone all subtle…natural colours, it does make a change.

On the subject of colour, here is an idea for choosing your own colour palettes.

(apologies if you remember this from another post!)

I rip out pages from my fave catalogues and copy the colours from the pages that catch my magpie eye….

like this…

……because sometimes I just don’t want to completely copy a pattern do you?

 and this..

or this…

then you take those little bundles and store them up for when you are lacking colour inspiration…

How do you achieve your colour choices?

and lets see your mandalas so far…..I have put that linky thing on again!
