No No No....Not Those Colors!

What do you get when you put together some very different and bright colors and a very preoccupied mind? A really bad not- so- fun looking bag. (note: two negatives do not make a good looking bag here).

I had bright yellow pearl thread (what we call mustard color in India) and a bright red-orange pearl thread and I am not sure what I was thinking when I used a combination of the two. And on top of that I used some odd cream color too and that just hit the spot! Now the bag looks horrible. I hope that if I put another row of the same "ugliness" somewhere else on the bottom side of the bag that it will be symmetric and the two rows will sort of knock each other out??? or cancel each other out??

I think I know why I used those colors. I love that combination of colors in my sarees. I have 2 sarees with those same contrasting colors and I love them and wear all the time.

Will post a picture in a day or two. Meanwhile I think I should stare at the bag a few hundred time to internalize it, meditate on it and then finally hypnotize myself into liking it just a bit. (like what I do with some songs/music - listen to it lots of times until I begin liking it)
