Carousel Part 3: PASTELS

The Pastel Carousel I am doing as a stash project and using all the pastels I have to hand in a random mix of all of them.

Patel Colours: link to part 1 and 2 HERE

The centres you have seen are dominated either by Pink, Lavender or Blue

COLOURS USED:

1:cream

2:duck egg

3:sherbet

4:cloud blue/ substituted silver lost my ball of cloud blue some where?

5:parma violet

6:Lavender

7:wisteria

8:clematis

9:pale rose

10:candy floss

11:apricot

12:stone

13:camel

14:lemon

15:pistachio

16:spring green

17:parchment MOSTLY FOR JOINING

The bands are a random mix of all the pastels

Part 3 Pentagons are again a random mix of all the colours but i am joining them all to the body of the Carousel with Parchment, the joining colour of the banding, and can be added to any one of the 3 centre colours, or you pick you own colours to match the centre panel

My suggestion would be to make all 16 pastel pentagons to round 5 and then place around your centre to check if the colours are evenly spread and then join them with the parchment in order

NOTE: for some unexplained reason my only ball of cloud blue seems to have disappeared, never to be seen again so I have substituted it with Silver for the remaining Carousel so where you see silver it SHOULD BE CLOUD BLUE if you have the pastel pack

Please have a go at your own colour combinations, there are so many more that you could use with the pastels, pretty well you could pick any of these colours to go side by side.
