Stitching and Zombies

No, this post isn't actually about zombies, so if that's what you're looking for, turn back now. I am just going to go a head and put this out here, I'm a little obsessed with the color blue right now. Especially teal. For me, I'm more attracted to certain colors with the weather and my moods. Not the, it's rainy and cold, and I'm feeling blue, moods. More like in the spring I'm all about coral colors, but that could change at any moment. 

Right now, we are moving into fall and I keep seeing the beautiful burn oranges and red. Don't get me wrong, I love those colors too, but I'm just not ready to let go of summer yet. So, I'm going to hold onto summer for a few weeks longer. 

This photo was taken during our Disney trip this year. I was hanging out with the girls and was leaning against this teal pillar, when I realized the teal, lavender and white made a somewhat stunning color combination. 

I went ahead and snapped a photo because I knew with my memory issues I would not remember later. Of course I forgot all about it, and it wasn't until my partner was showing his family the photos at the lake that we ran across it again. He was like, What is that, why did you take that picture? 

Well, he didn't understand, but I did. So, as soon as I could, I went to work. I just love the way the white pops with the teal, and how the lavender makes the white faceted beads almost seem translucent. The teals are not exactly the same, the teal in the bracelet has a little touch of grey. I also pictured the bracelet a little different in my head, but I still really like the way it turned out.

A little side note, I almost always watch a TV series when I'm making stitched pieces. This was no exception, I came late to the series The Walking Dead but caught up quickly with marathon sessions of stitching and zombies.
