sedona, finished

I finished this in mid-February and have already worn it a few times, but it's taken me a bit to get some nice pictures! Having less focus on the cataloging and photographing is actually pretty freeing, though somewhat unusual and a bit uncomfortable when it comes time to write about things. Regardless, here she is! The colors ended up reminding me of Arizona, and I have enjoyed pairing this with copper jewelry I got in Sedona on my last trip there. The aqua is reminiscent of the patina copper gets out in the elements, and the reds blues and oranges are the sunset, rocks, and sky.

This is my second Shift and it went much faster than the first. My favorite part happens to be this little corner section with the neutral background and the bright color gradient. In retrospect it would have been nicest if that was the main middle stripe rather than the section that ends up being the back. But when I did mom's version the green that was in the same place as this cream really took over the look, so it was a deliberate choice to place the cream there. I guess in this case it just doesn't compete in the same way! The dominant color to me is definitely the aqua. Which is ok. I just wasn't expecting to like the cream nearly as much. 

It should be a nice shoulder season accessory, and I may even enjoy wearing it in the summer when it's warmer since it's all cotton. I think it will be good winery wear :)
