All things work together . . . (cira. 8/3/2004) My silk arrived from Singapore on Saturday. The second piece of the lime green is more celery, and it have to be dyed down a tad, and the turquoise is considerably darker than the photo, much teal, sorta that rich deep Aegean sea blue-green. It’s by far less stark and “contrasty” than the Turquoise would have been. It should make wonderful guards, but now what do I use for my corded petticoate? [Can you tell I’ve been watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer on DVD, again?]
Since I was ironing, I had to take the lime silk out, iron it out, and drape it on the chick. This fabric is very lightweight and almost sheer, so I will have to underline the whole thing. I’m thinking bleached muslin because I want to keep the outfit on a whole very light but still have enough opaqueness that whatever color petticoat I end up with doesn’t distort the lime, which is less neon with the new teal trim.
Photo ops will appear shortly.
