Overdye win!
Mar. 19th, 2013 07:32 pmSo, I'm told I should blog on dreamwidth! :D
I tried to dye a pastel. Oh boy, did I fail. I got a lot of helpful advice on Ravelry on how to do it and I will try again. Soon.
In the meantime, here's my pastel fail, and the two black overdyes I made to get a colour I liked.

Nope, not pastel. I didn't like how the purple clashed with the pink either.

A little bit of black later: better! Still too vivid and clashy for me.

A second dip in the black: yay! That's more like it.
I called this colour Violettes Cristallisées (Candied violets). It's a bit silly and pretentious maybe to give names to my colours already but it's fun!
