Black and gold

Having spoken to Anh, i decided on a colour scheme of purple and gold, taken from an image (in my previous post) of a caterpillar. I wanted to do something feminine and a little antique looking. After playing around with different designs using those colours, however, i soon decided it wasn't working. Everything looked too disney princess-esque! i went back to my research and black seemed to be a prominent colour so it was decided - Black and gold!

some samples - piping and gathering.
