Well, I could give it a try.
It took a couple days to figure it out. I won't bore you with the trial and error. I started and ripped out several times before I got a working model...
However, she wanted it in two colors. So, again I made and remade. But nothing was looking right. I was at the point where I was going to embroider the second color on this, because nothing was working.
Then I remembered there's a spiral technique...
And that cracked it for me...
It was a good thing, as she had then requested (as I was fighting with the above) a tri-color lip balm holder.
Luckily, the same technique would work on this...
(Yes, those are the colors she requested. And yes, I know what they mean.)
Since she requested them at the same time, they were able to be shipped together...
They came out great! LOL I don't know what the colors mean; I'm so out of things these days!

Interesting - they're nice and bright and should be easy to locate.
ReplyDeleteNice. A holder for everything.
ReplyDeleteThey came out nice. You're good at figuring out these things :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Especially since I did. Repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteGreat color choices. I wonder what you yarn stash is like?
ReplyDeleteI've got enough to keep me busy.
DeleteI like the colors, especially the golden brown/red combo. I also like that green. I have a Peruvian knit cap in that color.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI love that spiralizing look (yup, the boondoggle thing again). I don't know what the color combination means, though I have a funny feeling that I could guess. Is it a symbol of something that happens to be legal where you live but not where I live?
ReplyDeleteThe colors are for Rastafarianism. But I bet you can guess one of the things they are known for.
DeleteAnother who has no idea what the colours mean. But I guess if that is what the client has ordered... Not the combination I would have gone for. Prefect timing for landing on the spiral design which works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just takes stepping back and looking at things differently. I used to do that and make my own patterns for cross stitching. Loved doing that. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's the bailiwick of creative people everywhere.
DeleteGlad it worked out well, though after a few trial-and-error attempts. They look good too.
ReplyDeleteWell done Liz ... and for working out the spiralling ... that'll be useful for more projects - take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteThese are great and I like the colours but i am also one who has no idea what it means
