[Nfb-krafters-korner] speaking of color

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi All,
My reason for posting this was to get us thinking about how people use color in ways different then we were taught.  That our ideas taught years ago are not the ideas of folks now.  

We are limiting ourselves by judging the outfit rather then thinking that we can add more colors together then we have been thinking.

Whether we agree with all of her colors or not, someone approved.  I had my Grand Daughter look at her outfit this morning and her seventeen year old opinion was that all looked very nice other then the yellow shoes.  Now, Kelly wore a grey dress that looked drab. I think it was intentional.  So no matter what we think of our First Lady's choices, lets break out of our old traditions and pop the color in our crafting.  At least, that is what I learned from this.
