it's such a great idea to stripe the background of your colorwork with similar colors! I'm totally on board with the sustainable/thrifty mindset--so much of what people buy new is already out there. It's fun to see the creativity coming out of what you found secondhand.
Thank you! I find that working with constraints always leads to more creativity and fun problem solving. It makes for some very satisfying stash busting too. Thank you for your comment 😆
