A slight change in plans . . . (cira. 10/17/2004) About a month ago, I went ebaying to see if I could track down more of the original lime silk because I wanted to make sure that I had enough for the sleeves. The merchant had some, their last piece in fact, but the dye lots didn’t match when it arrived here. *pout* So rather than trying to over-dye it to match. I decided to go hunting again and see if other Thai silk merchant (the one from Singapore that sends fun little nic-nacs in their package) still had some more of what they call “Plunket Blue” and behold they did – bonus, the dye lots match. Thus, I’m switching my primary colors and making the deep blue-green to the gown and the lime (or “Gooseturd” to be period-proper) petticoate. Oh yeah, I found some lace for my camica too. Here’s a scan of the fabrics.
I’m also still trying to figure out how to use my scanner and the “special HP photo tools” that came with my new PC so the scans are kinda crappy . . . sorry.
