i had a recent etsy customer who ordered 8 of my jewelry rolls as bridesmaids gifts for her upcoming wedding.
i was delighted when she decided to use each of the 8 dot prints i carry as her fabric choices. she turned me loose to pick the zippers and ribbon colors myself.
i was nervy trying to put together cohesive, stylish, and yet a wide-ranging set of colors. i considered that a wedding party can often have wildly different taste and fictionally typecasted each jewelry roll for a corresponding girl: from tomboy little sister of the groom (green and white for her) to preppy sorority sister (pink and navy for her) .
i could not me more smitten by how these turned out! i love how they are clearly a unified set (you know i love an iteration), but are all so distinct.
why, yes, they're octuplets, but they're fraternal! (is what i will tell people in stores as i push them around in their octostroller. (i may have gotten a tad attached to these little fellas along the way).
i tried to imagine which color combo would be most likely to cause a bridesmaid catfight as they all scrambled to own it and jumped around wildly on which was my favorite.
sealing up the package to send to my sweet bride customer was a little difficult, but luckily i took some pictures of our time together to remember my octuplets as they leave for their forever homes.
i want to live somewhere under this rainbow.
they are so happy to see us! look how they're smiling!
if you held a gun to my head, i think the coral/gray combo is my favorite. followed closely by the aqua/yellow. but then again i love the red/teal and the sky/tangerine. ok, you probably just had to shoot me with that gun, didnt you? dangit. i really left you no choice.
so which baby roll is your favorite?
Love love the aqua/yellow the best! They are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the teal and yellow!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but the aqua is the one my eye is drawn to!
ReplyDeleteRed/teal, red/teal, red/teal!
ReplyDeleteI love the black with purple. Looking sharp!
ReplyDeleteWhich fictional personality does that give me?
is it still your fave if its navy/purple? black and purple would mean youre the "harvard-bound valedictorian with sneaky screwball streak." did i get that right? navy would drop you into a slightly different category. i'm thinking arwen-revering CPA.
DeleteHmmm... In my head I like it better as black, probably because when I squint I'm still seeing black. Here in the real world though, it still looks good to me, navy or not :) My second choices are pink/black and red/teal.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a really fun feature of your site - The Putapuredukes Personality Test. Choose a roll and find out who you are!
Coral/gray followed by green/white!!! If you did navy/yellow, I'd be SOLD.
ReplyDeletehey! the coral/gray and aqua/yellow are my favorite too! It's like we're jewelry roll twins =) Getting to try that many different color combinations and use all the different polka dot fabrics would make me happy too =)
ReplyDeleteI'm with a few others - aqua/yellow, hands down. I'm kind of fascinated now - I'm wondering how you typecast each of them!
ReplyDeleteGrey/coral hands down. LOVE!
ReplyDeletewhy are these things so cute?! and why do i want to go broke and get every.single.one?!
ReplyDeleteOMG so beautiful!! coral/gray is definitely my fave, followed closely by red/teal. I imagine the coral/gray girl as sort of a hipster who works in some design-related field (which is completely not me, but whatev)
ReplyDeleteI like the pink/navy...think I always secretly wanted to be accepted by the sorority sisters (TOTALLY NOT ME!) and the aqua/yellow because it feels breezy.."I'm breezy!" (Did you watch Friends?)
