Well folks, the height of the season is over and the forest is opening up (I need curtains, I guess). Some people ask me, now and again, just where I get my ideas for color combinations and where this comes from. I can't help it, is what I say. It is color all around me that helps me to draw breath and keep my head up. It comes from within and from out there and just happens. Well, just happens with over 20 years of work with dyes, which are a LOT different from watercolor.
Out THERE, the last of the leaves that were glowing in the dark are in this photo. You can see behind that tree (Tom, what is it???) that the walk up to the forest is littered with our privacy. :o)
I stared at those leaves for days and days and days and finally picked three in different stages of decay to produce Glory, the new colorway. I don't know who will like it and it doesn't really matter. It is an ode to Out There.
I think that's going on my Christmas wish list. Gorgeous — as usual. You are brilliant.

*I* like it. It's gorgeous and beautiful and fantastic. :)
Poke at the blog for plain-jane Gendarme socks, if you'd like -- Robb loves them, hasn't taken them off since he put them on. I'm going to need a crowbar to put them through the wash. Or another pair. Hm...

Beautiful colors!
The background is a little blurry but it looks like vinca to me. If it's vinca the blooms will be periwinkle in color.
