Developing a Colorway

I am beginning to develop 3 or colorways for a small design.  It will be offered in November 2016 by Stitch for the Cure.  I will stitch the first colorway and provide colored renditions of the rest.  I am thinking Four Seasons?

There are several approaches to getting started.  This time I thought it would be fun to stitch with rose pinks. Shortly after I found Sue Spargo's collection of Dazzle.  It is rayon with a strand metallic and equivalent to a #8 perle.  It is a beautiful rose(see above middle).  She also has a new colors available in a beautiful perle cotton that comes in 3 sizes.  The color I hope to use is next to the Dazzle thread.  And as most of you know I like to use new threads, beads, markers, etc,.........So I just got all 15 colors of the new Planet Earth Sprinkles ribbon.  Three colors are included in the photo.....they are so cute. Plus, I knew I wanted to include some flat square beads...either Tilas or CzechMates.....see the yellow ones below. Last, but not least, I searched through my stash to see what else might work...so now I have 15 threads.  I need to eliminate at least 5. At this point I think I need to finish graphing the design and then review again.

I will post an update when I get the final palette and a "final" stitch diagram.
