Life hands us enough serious moments, doesn't it?
  |
PEOPLE at the big pleasures. Decorating is a small pleasure...and yet decorations make our families smile....we are creating an atmosphere for our families....it should be filled with love...and beauty can be a small part of that. And if the beauty that you create makes someone smile....then you, my friend, have brightened the world a little bit.
Things to consider when putting together a Fall Centerpiece:
Rule of three:
Our eyes will draw a triangle between the three objects, keeping the eyes moving over the grouping.
Height:
Vary the heights of the three objects, short, medium & tall. Think of a straight line on a graph - boring, right?
Now think of a line zig zagging up and down - much more interesting!
Texture:
Vary the textures. Smooth, rough, wispy, spiky, hard, soft...think natural elements -- pine cones, berries, feathers, wheat, acorns, branches, antlers
I made these pumpkins out of a vintage silk beaded evening gown and real pumpkin stems. They are one of a kind. You can find them in my Etsy shop Here. The proceeds from this sale will go to help people in the Flooded areas of Houston & surrounding towns. The charity I will donate to is called Mercury One. They are a disaster relief organization similar to the Red Cross. They are local here in the Dallas area. UPDATE: These pumpkins have been sold & proceeds donated to Hurricane Harvey relief through MercuryOne.org.
Thank you for visiting. Enjoy the big and small things in life.
