Miniature Crafting Challenge 8: Colour of the Year - Ultra Violet

Dear Readers:

This last challenge is a color challenge.
"Ultra Violet" is the color that the Panton Company has chosen for 2018, so projects for this challenge should use the color "ultra violet", purple, violet or lavender in some way.

I have always wanted to decorate a bedroom in those colours and this challenge encouraged me to do it.

First of all, I dressed the bed using these fabrics, ribbons and lace trim.

And that´s how it turned out.

I also used some purple felt and a piece of ribbon to make a pair of slippers.

I made a lamp, a tiny candle and a little box for the bedside table.

I used the following materials.

I painted the tiny piece of wire in black to make the candle wick.

I made some bottles of perfume for the dresser.

I didn´t take pictures of the process as all the projects are quite simple but I took pictures of the materials I used to make them.

This ball of wool inspired me to make a rug.

I made the rug sticking strings of wool to a rectangular piece of cardboard covered with double sided tape.

For the wall, I made some pictures with pressed flowers I picked up myself.

I used pink corrugated paper that I painted in light purple color for the frames.

I also made this pillow, the bag (I used a  mini size binder clip this time), and the basket but I didn´t make the crocheted rug as I have no idea how to crochet. My grandma, on my mother´s side, made it long time ago. She passed away when I was only one year old. My mum told me that was her favourite color.

This is the final result. 

View from a different angle.

The funny thing is that I didn´t have any of my Sylvanians in mind when I was decorating the room. Once it was finished, I thought it could suit Stella Chocolate or Lulu Golightly but they are not part of my collection yet.

Then, I remembered that Kate Periwinkle´s favourite color is violet.

That´s why she chose light violet paint for the walls of  The Blackcurrant Café she runs with her husband Alex.

When Kate saw the room she loved it to bits!
Here she is relaxing after putting her kids to bed. She also likes reading before going to sleep.

As you can see, she´s wearing a satin lilac nightgown that matches perfectly with the room.

I should have asked Alex for his opinion on the new bedroom but I know he doesn´t mind the choice of color or the decor of the room as long as Kate is happy with it. 
Well, there is just one small detail  that bothers him a little bit.

"Kate, love, do we really need so many  decorative pillows?"

"Of course, Alex!They give the bed a nice touch".

Alex just rolled his eyes and sighed. He doesn´t see the point of taking the time to pile all these pillows when he makes the bed in the morning and then put them away on a chair at night.

Haha!(Alex and the fuss with the pillows reminds me of my husband)

I´m afraid the bed is a bit small for the two of them but they are happy to snuggle up.

Sweet dreams!

Now, I´m going to tell you about a gift I got from one of my pupils a few days ago when I was still working on this color project.

Her grandma handmade this lovely crocheted glass jar for me.

I thought it was a really sweet gesture and look at the color! Isn´t it a funny coincidence?

The jar is meant to be used to place a candle inside , as a pencil holder or even to store craft supplies.

I like it so much that I wanted to share it with you.  

A big hug, my friends!
