I can't seem to get enough of these colors lately...the brighter, the better. And, I'm really loving when they are brought back down to earth with a gorgeous, dark texture. Hopefully, I haven't gotten too redundant with my color choices here on heysusy...but I really can't help it at this point. I'm feeling really inspired by chocolate-y browns and batik dye brights...natural linen, pure pigment, and matte, flat intensity.
There's something about these photos (especially the top two)...a color sense that I really like. A contrast of richness and flatness. Anyway... I'm working hard on a few projects today, and all this week I'm very busy. But, as fall approaches, I'm doing what I do, getting ready to harvest new ideas, feign a system of organization, breathe cooler air and clear my head.
I've had some really fun things evolving behind the scenes...product stuff and also new connections and projects I'm excited about, which, although I am bursting at the seams, I am going to keep under wraps until I'm clear on all the details. Anyway...things are good. I can honestly say I'm pleased.

I have a thing for textures. They really can make a piece! I love the linen looking item in this entry...and the wool...and the flower...ok, I love everything (:

These are gorgeous and I am so with you.....These bright pops of color with the natural rough hewn objects keeping them grounded. I love it!

They are my kind of colors too, like early fall. Not too deep, but like jewels.

hey everybody!
i'm so happy to hear you like these as much as i do... katelyn...totally with you on the linen. i have a huge craving for linen lately! i'm coveting a big roll of artist's linen...it's pricey...but it would be so much fun to play with...

Oh yes! Lovely colors. I can not get enough of mustard yellow in combination with turqoise and brown. It's all over my place now and I want more, more, more.
I really enjoy reading your blog. Very inspiring and so good looking :-)
