Early autumn has its own colours, before October a Early autumn has its own colours, before October and November being deeper browns, oranges and reds. At the moment, there is still quite a lot of green, even though it's muted, mixed with brown and yellow of leaves starting to turn and the berries in the hedgerows. Apples are one of those things that really say September. I was admiring the apples on my neighbour's tree, not just because they looked delicious but also because the colours were so pretty. What I thought was red was actually pink, which faded beautifully into yellow and green. So I made a colour scheme for September, based on the colours of those apples. I have a version that includes hex codes for digital projects, and you can download it for free from my website. The link is in my bio πŸŽπŸπŸ’– #apples #septembercolourscheme #applescolourpalette #creativelife #findinginspirationinnature #wildblossomlife
A creative invitation for September 🍎🍏 Appl A creative invitation for September 🍎🍏 Apples represent everything about this time of year, when summer ripens into autumn. Bite into an apple, and you can taste the golden sunshine and crisp mornings. I made a colour scheme based on my neighbour's apple tree that kindly dangled itself over her fence into the street. I thought I might use the colours I chose as a way to help me to paint an apple. But the point of creative invitations is that anyone can do them, regardless of whether or not that person feels they are good at drawing likenesses of things. I was also aware of how the idea of drawing an apple was making me feel tense. It's perfectly fine to splosh paint about even if you don't consider yourself a painter. Painting patches of colour is one way to try out a colour scheme. It gives you a chance to see which colours and which colour combinations you like. If the idea of creative invitations appeals, you might like the Wild Blossom Companion. There is also a free version. The link is in the bio. πŸ’–πŸπŸ’–πŸ #creativelife #wildblossomlife #september #apples #creativeinvitation #septembercolourscheme
This is one of my favourite trees. It's round the This is one of my favourite trees. It's round the corner from my house. I think it's a sycamore, and although I know very little about trees, I believe sycamores belong to the Maple family, which means they are especially gorgeous in autumn. Can you see how on the right the leaves are changing colour? It's like it's got one arm in its autumn coat. I'll be keeping an eye on this tree over the next few weeks because I know it will be beautiful πŸ’–πŸπŸ‘Œ Don't have a favourite tree? I'm sure you do! But if you really don't, I encourage you to choose one next time you are out. Or a few of you can't pick one πŸ’– #creativelife #wildblossomlife #autumncolours #septembernature #smallthingsmatter
The house martins who spend the summers in their n The house martins who spend the summers in their nests under the eaves of my house have gone, back to sub Saharan Africa where they will spend the winter. Every year their arrival announces the imminent arrival of summer, and their departure marks the beginning of autumn. Hand stitching these little birds has been a way to slow down and acknowledge the seasons changing. It's not a big thing, it hasn't required lots of time or a special trip somewhere, and I already had the fabric and the thread. But it's enough to recognize that autumn is here, and that nature operates in cycles. The house martins have left but they'll be back in the spring. It's also what I hope the Wild Blossom Companion offers: gentle invitations to notice and mark the changing of the seasons. #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #slowstitching #noticingthenaturalworld
