The Good, The Bad, and The Sqwadgy

For those of you sqwadgy-color fans:

Sqwadgy: [skwa-djee] colors likely to be found in a swamp. Or in the Autumn, all around us now.

As Marcy said, there are no bad colors. Just colors other-people-like-better-than-I-do. Or perhaps, colors more likely to be used by people other than me.

Anyway, you get the picture. And I get the point. For the record, some of the sqwadgy colors have begun to creep their little way into my work too. Turns out they are useful, and sometimes a great complement to the reds/blues/golds I like to use:

And the fate of all of this silk?

The Dye Lots project continues, but we are moving on to yarns this week. More Bright Color Pictures(tm) to follow.

  2. I cannot tell you how amusing it is to me that you, YOU, use my name in the same post where you talk about color. Too funny! Sqwadgy--excellent word.

  3. Hi Sara, you said that this silk is for a class - what class is that? One of the workshops or a retreat class?

  4. I agree - they all look luscious, but I just love the word squadgy (did I spell it right?)
