Coming along

Mornings are always the best time for me to get something done. The light is perfect for color matching. I surprised myself with the 7 colors I did yesterday. Four of them were perfect and the turqious was really close. The yellow/green was a failure. I got a great wheat though. I plan to split the turq into 1 yd pieces and deepen the color one run at a time until I reach the saturated turq needed.

Any of the failed color matches will eventually end up on the new page I managed to created titled of all things, Fabric for Sale! I still need to grab the code for Buy Now buttons from Paypal. Not sure which will work best for people.

S.W. Turq and a perfect purple/blue. This purple began as turq one shade darker than seen here. Overdyed with Imperial. I love it.

This picture doesn't do justice to the red here. I started with 2 TB Chinese, O/D with 2 TB Chinese and 1 TB Oxblood. It's important to do several overdyes (O/D) to get the depth of color.  The rust/red started out a rust orange, O/D with 1 Oxblood, O/D with 1 Chinese & 2 Oxblood. This one is perfect. I still need to do one a shade lighter.

I tried a new mixed color here. One run with 2 TB Marigold achieved the right shade. Will need to tinker with it for the other two shades needed.

This is the purple mentioned above. Yummy! You should see it pressed. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a minute to post finished (pressed) pieces.
