Luminosity is sometimes found by adding a drop of white - not possible in dyeing so I guess Vicki's advise to thin out the strength and allow the white cotton to shine more is correct.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing is that everyone's monitor is different so I am still seeing aubergine and not the beautiful blue side of Linda's flower. Ha, it's so easy to pass comment on other people's colours - have I got anything sorted? NO.
I hope Helena finds something in Houston.

I am standing in line at the
Hilton to check out at this moment. just saw the message that you want me to find something here. I don't know if
I will have time but will try.
in my dye class with Ann
Johnston the other day she made periwinkle with boysenberry mixed with lots of drops of other colours, but it looked easy. She uses liquid dye concentrate and plays around.
I will see what
