The WEST Design Challenge for February/March was based on the Pantone colour of the year, Emerald Green. And did WEST members rise up to this challenge?
Yes they did! I think this was a new record, with 10 entries!
Here are all of this month's entries, in order of submission:
Caitlin of realswanky notes: In the spirit of Pantone's Colour of the Year, St Patrick's Day, AND a
massive sale at the fabric store.. I put together this nightie with
sheer spiderweb tulle yoking! I lucked out and came across this lovely
green material perfect for this project. Black English cone studs finish
the edges of the shoulders with a spooky bang.
Mike and Shaunna of DragonNerd absolutely love how this Emerald green pairs with
copper wire, so I just knew it had to incorporate copper in some way. I
have a couple of options for combining wires, and decided to do a trio
of colours: Emerald, Copper and my new Apple Green to join together in a
Sierpinski Triangle necklace.
The colours feel fresh and warm to me.
PrairiePeasant was inspired by a small piece of paste paper made several years
ago, and thought it would make good endpapers in a journal. (Paste paper
is kind of like finger painting for adults!) From there, I looked
through all my books for any green books that might go with the paper,
and found this vintage dictionary.
PrairieThreads looked through all her green fabric and found some pieces of a men's
cotton shirt. I like the way plaid fabrics look when they are made into
coiled baskets, so that's what I decided to make. I wanted to try
something different, so I made a ripply lace type edge at the top.
Christa from SecretJewelry notes: After looking at a few color combo's for the Pantone 17-5641 color of
the year, I knew exactly what I was going to do...Emerald/Teal tones and
white.. What a perfect combo!
For Alisia of
AdorablesbyAlisia, this was a different direction in both design and crochet technique. It was fun to try something new!
We'd love to hear from you. Aren't these fabulous emerald items? Which is your favourite?
