Ombre

 ~*~

I had a special request in sosorosey for an upcycled catch all basket in red.  I shared several reds with my customer, and she decided she'd like a mix of shades.

I played with lots of different options for color placement, and decided to try my hand at making this one an ombre effect.

I started with my deepest cranberry red, circled up through brick, into cherry, and finally wound up with a faded chambray.

It looks so pretty from so many different angles.  I had wondered if my color efforts would be noticed, but that fear was allayed when Sophie saw the basket this morning.  Right away she commented on how cool it was that the colors went from light to dark like that.

Final measurements are about 9" wide and 4" high.  I like it so well, that I'm considering making a custom listing for the "ombre catch all".  What do you think?
