‘AUTUMN’S LAST EMBRACE’
I’m often asked where my inspiration comes from when I’m planning a new colourway. The truth is, it can come from just about anywhere. Sometimes it’s a place, a memory, a feeling or simply something I’ve noticed in passing.
This time, it was the beautiful tree outside my dye studio window at Worden Park.
I’ve watched it change over the past few weeks, as the seasons have slowly turned. The leaves have shifted through shades of golden yellow, burnt orange, russet and deep earthy greens, with the occasional soft pink and coral appearing amongst them.
There’s something quite beautiful about watching the leaves fall, creating a carpet of colour beneath the tree, while a few stubborn ones remain clinging to the branches.
Those last reluctant leaves seem determined to hold on just a little longer, as though they’re not quite ready to let go of the season. I find myself watching them, wondering which will be the last to fall.
It’s that fleeting moment between holding on and letting go that inspired this colourway.
Autumn’s Last Embrace is my little celebration of the changing seasons, the colours nature creates, and those often overlooked moments of beauty right outside our windows.
