I just bought this new skirt
Think I'll wear it with this scarf
And these earrings
This Rugosa Rose bloomed just in time to celebrate pink. So heavenly fragrant, you can smell it in neighboring yards. I steep a handful of petals in vodka with a vanilla bean and a few cloves to make Rose Liqueur.
Did I ever tell you how much I love orange?!
hot, intense, firey
deep, rich, earthy
I have to admit that I made all my color posts for this week ahead of time - because this week I am neck deep in preparations for the Bead & Button Show: making bead soups, assembling kits, packing books and boxes... and colorizing metal for my Beads on Metal class. Once I started piling these up on my counter however (after a dose of vinegar and salt, then heat treating over my gas stove), they begged to be included in today's celebration of orange!
My camera didn't know whether to focus on the metal or the reflections of the trees beyond... so I let it take me where it wanted to go. As Claire says, 'the perspective changes when the heart and the eye seek out the light'.
