With this little collection I brought together all my arty and crafty passions, or I'd rather say obsessions. Yarn dyeing, the new to me ice dyeing, the old and good knitting, and color in all its forms, included colored pencils, my latest and currently my strongest obsession, together with coloring. I used the palette as a little coloring challenge and inspiration, it was so inspiring and I can't wait to do more!!
