Reason Number 1
I'm proud to be 65 years old. Wrinkles, gray hairs, and all. This past week I reached five years as a breast cancer survivor. No one can belittle the significance of that! And claiming Medicare benefits is a bonus.
Reason Number 2
I'm a contestant in Painter's Palette Solids: Mad for Solids "Sweet Sixteen" that launches today!
Colors for my fabric bundle were inspired by this photo, taken at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum in Winter Park, Florida. (My Australian friend Di, and I visited a year ago.) It's where a huge collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass and art is displayed.
Based on these colors, my fabric bundle is called "Tiffany Lights."

The interlocking stained glass color wheels were actually hidden at the base of a fountain. They turned, diffusing colors through a pool located on the grounds of Mr. Tiffany's home, Laurelton Hall.
Of the 168 solid colors in the Painter's Palette Solids collection these are the eight I chose for Tiffany Lights. (Top to bottom) Dewberry, Aquarius, Beryl, Maize, Poppy Red, Daredevil, Island, and Paradise. |

ReplyDeleteWahoo on your five year anniversary. Certainly a reason to celebrate. Add to that Happy Birthday. Have an awesome day.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, and happy celebration of your good health! Those are some lovely combos of fabrics up for competition. But I do like your Tiffany Lights, and the story with them. I clicked on the link where the palettes are shown, but hoping that leaving a comment on my favorite is a vote. I wasn't quite clear about that part. Also on FB- I'm not sure how to record a vote?
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a very colorful fabric filled happy birthday!
