September Blues with Fold Formed Leaves


I have had a batch of fold-formed leaves sitting on the patina table, waiting patiently for me to take the time and listen to the color they wanted to be.
My melancholy won over and I dipped them in chestnut brown and then washed them with indigo, touched with violet and another layer of indigo.

I love the results. 
They so perfectly complimented the midnight blue coin pearls, it was as if the necklace made itself. 
What's that? YOU want a September Blue leaf?
Why, look at that! I have a one for you!


But you have to act quickly, Holiday orders are starting to come in and I may not have time this year to hammer out another batch!
