Try a Plum Accent in a Neutral Brooch Arrangement

NOTE 01

Choose a starting point

Choose one neutral opaque cloth, one small plum swatch, and a simple geometric brooch. Close the clasp and start with the neutral fabric covering most of the work area.

NOTE 02

Compare the arrangement

Arrange the brooch and photograph the neutral version alone. Add the plum cloth at one side with only a small section visible, leaving the accessory in the same position.

NOTE 03

Look at the difference

Increase and reduce the plum area between photographs. Notice when the accent begins drawing more attention than the brooch. This point depends on the actual colors and light in your setup.

NOTE 04

Keep a useful reference

Keep the proportion you prefer and note where each fabric is stored. Repeating the arrangement later is easier with a simple reference than with a list of color names alone.

Before you go.

What is the most useful detail to remember?

What should I establish before starting?
