Color Play Friday - Salmon Creek

Hello and welcome to Color Play Friday!

Color Play Friday (CPF) is a fun weekly challenge hosted by Trina from In an Otter Life and Lorinda from Laurel, Poppy and Pine where they provide one of their photographs as inspiration and then all the participants create a color palette and fabric bundle based on the photo.

This week's photo is called Salmon Creek.

Well... everything about this photo is foreign to me. I grew up in the desert where creeks are non-existent and fresh fish is hard to come by. So yeah, Salmon Creek. Look! It's water, how novel!

I imagine that this little creek is running through a forest where the air is cool and smells of organic, leafy freshness. I can also picture a bear just waiting for a yummy, unsuspecting salmon to swim on by.

Here is my palette/bundle for the week.

I love that this is another earthy bundle. I used the Lizzy House butterflies again this week because they were just too perfect not to use. They hint at the wildlife that you'd find in the area; as does the Mendocino print. I always struggle with orange prints but I think I managed to pull all these fabrics together without them looking to Halloween-y.

NOTE: These fabrics are not to scale. I believe that Mendocino print is very large compared to the others.

I shopped at Hawthorne Threads again this week.
