The first step of wardrobe planning is finding inspiration. Well, maybe a more realistic first step of wardrobe planning is really taking everything that you never wear out of your wardrobe, figuring out your holes, and then finding inspiration. But this time I am starting with inspiration.
The problem is that I can't decide which piece of art I want to be inspired by. The first piece I was inspired by was this piece:
I am playing around with a colour sampler program by Sherwin-Williams and a lot of images.

I love the lines, and the blues and greens and pinks. It has the black base I need, but it is very light and bright and my colours are more on the dulled than these. I like Caviar and Commodore as colours but the yellows and some of the greens are not right.
Honestly, this scarf is more along the blacks, greys and pinks I wear. I was surprised when the blues and the greens didn't show up in the colour samples.
But I also like the greens, blues, pinks and reds shown in these images:
The greys like Dark Night and Still Water are wardrobe colours I wear. The Black is right. And similar colours show up. But that first stained glass piece just speaks on a real level, the gut level.
Then again, maybe I will do what other stitchers have done--use a piece of fabric in my stash as inspiration.
