I've decided that I will try to post the 'this to that' series more frequently as so many readers have asked about the process that one goes through when designing.  So in that vein, the first picture was taken as I was about to embark on a new project, only to discard the supplies after a creative block (only to the shelf, not the trash) and take on another.  The end results are pictured and by the by, are in the shoppe now, at this colored link here !  Not nearly resembling the textiles from when and how the process began, which I can tell you happens frequently, they are lovely nonetheless, no?
