Dreaming at Dusk - Mosaic Contest Entry

A few days ago, I saw on my Bloglovin feed that Stitched in Color was having a fabric mosaic contest sponsored by Lark Cottons. Rachel gives a theme and some inspirational photographs and then you get to go play, creating different fabric bundles from the fabrics in Lark Cottons. I think that making digital fabric combinations {almost} satisfies my fabric tooth as much as buying actual fabric!

The theme was Dreaming at Dusk and Rachel pulled together some beautiful inspirational photographs. 

When I heard the theme, my mind first went to the moment in the dusk right before it is completely dark when all of the colors seem to fade out of existence.  I pictured muted blue/greens and grays as the last whisper of daylight fades. Here is my bundle I pulled together...



For my second bundle, I tried to capture a different moment at dusk, the vibrant sunsets where the clouds light up in beautiful shades of pink.  The clouds are in contrast to the rest of the sky and the ground which are fading to darker browns, blues, and grays.  Here is my second bundle...



I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of Dreaming of Dusk and will hop over to Stitched in Color's blog to see the other gorgeous entries.

  4. I love that first bundle. But the second is such a great interpretation of the pinks that come into the sky for such a short period.
