W.E.S.T. September Design Challenge: Harvest

Now that everybody has gotten their kids back to school (or in the process of doing so) and we're all getting back to thoughts of the upcoming holiday season, cooler weather, and pumpkin spice lattes - I thought that we needed an autumn theme for the next design challenge.

Harvest.

What images are brought the your mind by the word?

The colours? The food? The fashion?

To get your creative juices flowing, here are a few harvest themed items from WEST designers already posted on Etsy:

Here's how it works. Check the forums and blog at the start of the month to get the inspiration topic. As you mull over what that particular idea means to you, jot down some notes in the discussion thread or leave a comment on the blog. Take pictures of your process and finished item and post them in the forum thread. We would love to hear the story behind how you arrived at your finished object!

I will post a separate feature for each item entered into the design challenge with a round up at the end of the month.

A few notes: Create something especially for the challenge. Entries for each month should be finished by the last day of the month. Vintage and supply sellers are welcome to participate, too, with a focus on artful photography and careful choice of item.

Happy designing!
