I'm sure I mentioned before that I pulled Wisteria for my guild crayon challenge. After talking to another guild member who got Asparagus and going literal with our color, I thought it was a great idea.
I found this stencil from the never ending internet. Apparently it is from a Japanese Family Crest.
I've had a stack of purples pulled from the stash for a while. The background is actually the closest to the crayon color.
The above picture is what I posted on instagram. The colors aren't true, but it did make me notice the out of place colored petals.
I took out the "too blue" ones and ended up with this. At this point, I knew the contrast was too sudden, but they were all fused down, so I decided to continue on and see what happened.
This is what I ended up with. It's OK, but there are no medium values. I was really trying to only work from stash, but alas, I had to stop at the LQS yesterday....
So what I find interesting, is that "upside down" also looks better. I think visually the darker colors need to be moved to the bottom.
I'm also contemplating a brighter vine color.
Here are the new mediums I picked up.
I did also find a few that I had in other places around the house.
So here is my new selection. I will have to cull it down in number, but at least its a better value range.

Beautiful!
Wow! I love it just as-is. How creative to get such a nice piece from a stencil pattern!
What a process, but it looks amazing already!
Another bag! See, one can never have too many bags. =)
I think that this is beautiful! The original would make a gorgeous bag.
