I have a dear friend who is getting married...
...and it's a perfect love match.
Of equal importance, perhaps, this union also has the seal of parental approval...
...a real testimony to the love and respect they each feel for their families.
I wanted to make an engagement gift as bright as the promise of their happy future...
...so I chose perky blues, purples and greens for this project.
I made batts in each of these colors...
...and on one side, added pencil roving in aqua, lavender and garnet.
I added snippets of sari fabric (a nod to their shared heritage)...
...and dyed curly locks.
It's pretty busy on one side...
...so I left the other side as is...
...just stripes of varying shades and hues.
This way, it can liven up a simple vase or tableau...
...or serve as backdrop for a more complex table arrangement.
(She hasn't seen this yet, so 'mum's the word', mutual friends!)
