Hi All I am adding to my doll collection with a lady I shall called "Lucretia" based on the painting by Lotto of the same title. This is that orange and green pieced gown.
I have been trying to use fabrics in my stash or salvedged from old clothing since I'm keeping to silk, wool and linen for the costume elements. The problem I have is that orange is not a color I have in my stash or closet. I have the green, red and black in china silk, pretty lightweight stuff that I could use, that with proper lining will be okay. I'm just not sure what I need to do to bring my red to orange or rust color without killing the silk. or would I be better off switching to a new color scheme, like the red and black? I can do that, I was just hoping to stay as close to the original painting as possible. any suggestions welcomed alex _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
