Hi All,

I am not too confident working in colours, but I am improving - I think ...

But - I well remember the first Flanders course I went on in Rugby, in
England.   I was suffering terribly from flu' but, I had paid, so was going
to do it!    I was working a little heart pattern and, when it came time to
put in the gimp, I rummaged in my box of tricks, coming up with a ball of a
very pretty pink gimp.  Just what I thought would be perfect for a small
heart...    But - the tutor saw it, was absolutely aghast, and said in tones
of horror "You're not using that, are you, Carol!"
"Perish the thought!" I said, hurriedly returning the spool to its hiding
place, and rummaging in my neighbour's box for white gimp!

After that, and after some adverse comments from another teacher, of Bucks
point mainly that time, I was extremely wary of using colour in anything!
But, as I say, I am now experimenting more with colour, as one of my good
friends is brilliant with matching/contrasting colours, and getting
outstanding results, so I am learning from her, and am not so easily
intimidated nowadays either!

Carol - in a dry and bright, cold Suffolk UK.
