experimentation _ more fabric swatches

today has been quite hectic, i went to global fabrics and looked around for some winter weight coat fabrics and was satisfied with the result. there were some very nice fabrics...but i couldn't afford to buy a whole lot which meant that i just got some samples. i also found some orange fabrics that i could possibly use also, along with the orange yarn that i have previously worked with .

i also found organic cotton which was FANTASTIC !!! i would have bought some to work with however, they only had dull blues and browns where i am wanting to work with a white. i have a substitute fabric to make the prototypes with, but my designs would be made out of the organic cotton if it were 'real life' you could say .
