Inspiration from Nature

A few years ago I had this really pretty pink and green necklace on display at a show.  A girl was going on about how beautiful it was and said "I never would have thought to put those colors together.  How did you come up with that?"

Well..flowers of course!  The answer seemed obvious to me!

Nature has some amazing color combinations.  When you feel uninspired take a walk and really look around!

What inspired me about this scene was the delicateness of the flower contrasted by the spikiness of the leaves.

Look at that red!  It's such a gorgeous shade!  I wish I had beads in that color.

There are cherry blossoms blooming all over the place around here so that will be my next color combination. 

So take a walk and get inspired.  Multitasking!
