2011 #11 Abalone

This one has a subtle beauty.


All right, maybe the flamingo isn't so subtle, but just look at the rest of it.









I'm sure you saw the sequins, but did you notice the beads?



They came attached to the yarn! I was worried they wouldn't be noticeable, but they add a nice touch.

2011 #10 No Name!

I sat down to make this post, and only then did I realize that I don't have a name for this one. It was all about color for me.


My favorite parts are the small lines of turquoise, which define the middle top, and then are repeated a couple of times in the body. It serves as what Kaffe Fassett calls the 'kick color.'


I added some colorful rings to the points, just for fun.


It turned out well, some intriguing color juxtapositions (thank you, Sandy!). It has everything but a name.
