my new project

thanks to maux, i have a lovely piece of fabric that is PERFECT for a shower curtain. i've been thinking about how to use it for a while, and have now committed to starting the project this weekend at s n' b. my first thought was that i'd create a border around it in a rich orange/red color, since my bathroom is all black/white and in need of a burst of color. to figure out what to do, i fastened the fabric to my existing yucky plastic curtain (which upon first sighting, kintea informed me that i needed to get a new shower curtain--it's a liner, waiting for a smashing buddy!). i placed different swatches of orange fabric near to it, and liked the effect. but when i showed it to my pal from south africa who is quite stylish, he felt i should use black, because any other color will detract from the lovely pattern. what to do?

i'm going to visit pacific fabrics and see what epiphanies appear. more soon!
