My Creative Space - Red Leather

My creative space is full of red leather leaves today.

I've had this wonderful piece of red leather for a while now, waiting for the right project to come along....

I started these last night, thinking to add them to a flower. 

But the leather is quite thick and heavy and I found the leaves way too pretty to be half hidden under the petals of the flower.

I settled on these colours for the veins, yellow, caramel and a deep, rich chestnut.

Maybe I'm -subconciously- getting ready for fall......

My Creative Space- More Leaves

I've been working on my leaves for a bit now.

The pop of the bright red thread on the starkness of the cotton canvas is in keep with the red/pink phase that has come over me lately.

Usualy you will find them hidden under one of these.

But I find them way too pretty to always be playing second fiddle.

I actualy wear a pair identical to the one in the photo above, which I love.

I should have some ready to put in the shop soon.
