Lady beachcomber that I am, I love picking up Mother Nature's little gifts of texture and colour.
So many of her combinations inspire my yarns and fibre mixtures.
The warm honeyed tones of a dried piece of kelp root beside a bleached sea potato and a sage-green urchin, ummmmmmm yum.
The slatey greys of a stone overwhelmed with soft, whipped-cream casts.
The soft, silky greens blending into pinky yellows on a piece of driftwood with a deep, rotted brown.
The bronzey, metallic charring of firewood against sugar-coated pebbles
The sprinklings of natural white deposits bursting on synthetic colours.
Warm hues of orangey, pinky, browny, reds melding into creamy, greys and green.
Zingy lime against white and brick.
And I love these things more because they almost turn my rather frightening cataract into a gently helpful blending tool. My right-eye sight may be getting fuzzier by the week, but look what it does to the beautiful colour combos in my pocket.....
