Hellooooo....
Well, what a busy sday. Dyeing this morning, doc this afternoon, picked up boys after that and had afternoon tea in town with them, yakked to Muttley about his day and fed the animals. Now time to think about tea...then dyeing again. Well...not actually dyeing but rinsing and washing and ironing.
We were going to have rain but the sun tried to shine instead. There was an unusual ufo shading it though...looked like a blooming leg warmer!
Come on Angel...fight fight fight! Don't let it get the better of you. Poor old twi...she's fighting for you so you help too!
B you poor old thing. I should send skippie to you...she's great with her needle and very gentle too.
Coalie...I bet the pink hands suit you! What colours of dye do you have?
Holly...no skiving off work to dye okay? Take the whole b****y day off instead!
Dilli are you having any additives in that coke? If not, get some.
Love the log cabin blocks. Just love them...

I will try coalie...but first you have to tell me what colours you have!
I have now got 4 different yellows, reds and blues with robin'e egg and sage green and black. It is so much fun mixing to get greens and purples and browns! It was funny yesterday because I mixed Chinese red and peacock blue expecting to get a purple....but I got a reddish brown. Quite nice though...

jumbobon - 2012-04-27 18:53:00
32777

ive got :
hot pink
raspberry
magenta
olive green
lilac
deep purple
golden yellow
burgundy
i havent tried mixing any ....yet...but that does sound fun, was a bit worried i would get mud and waste it haha.

coalrange1 - 2012-04-27 19:19:00

I got blue finger tips by cleaning the enverlopes for reuse. does that count hehehehehehehehehehehehe maybe I shoould wear gloves next time eh.

Jumbo must be washing the fabrics

coalrange1 - 2012-04-27 20:01:00

Yep dilli...that counts! Meet me on the way dilli. I reckon we could find where she put it. In the Tardis? In the school cupboard? In the bathroom cupboard? Or did she just scoff it all?
Coalie...I have
Raspberry, Chinese red, scarlet and rose red.
Lemon yellow, deep yellow, deep golden yellow and bright yellow.
Cerulean blue, navy, peacock blue and teal blue.
Turquoise.
New black.
Jade green and Robin's egg.
I had fuchsia too but that has all been used! Some of the dye powders weigh heavier than others...I think fuchsia must be one of the heaviest because there was not much at all of that.
Have a googlie ooglie at colour mixing. I put a little of the two colours I think will go well in a small container to check it out first. I reckon you would love it... but you will need at least one blue.
Did you have a look see at the Dharma site? Well worth it. I got 9 pots the other day costing USA$50. ish...and three times as much weight in each pot as here!
