I was running out of my purples (little G's favorite color), and low on greens and pinks and light blues- so, I put our microwave to work again. Toaster oven, crock pot, microwave- I wonder if there's a crafty way to use a waffle maker? ;) Purples are so tough and unpredictable with food coloring for some reason- so, I tried Jacquard Acid Dye in Violet this time- it's great! It did play interestingly with the gel colors. I went for a pinky purple by mixing fuschia gel and violet AD, and I ended up with pink and purple tie dye (5th from the top). :) Oh well. I hate doing pinks because my red and pink gels always clump- so, next time, I'll try some AD. Greens, blues, yellows, and oranges all come out beautifully, though- and browns, grays and blacks usually do, too- with some fun quirks. This is Joann's 80/20 wool blend- I really like it, and buy it a couple yards at a time now (especially when good coupons are out ;). - VillageBlocksAddition1
www.28feet.com/2013/03/15/my-favorite-color-is-all-of-them/ Half of my take on Land of Nod's Grimm's It Makes a Village set. The inspiration set is gorgeous, and easily worth the $199 price tag. Band saw for most of the straight sides, and my scroll saw for all those tight arches. This set is supposed to have wonky curves and lopsided arches, so it was really fun to make. :) - VillageBlocksAddition1Flat
