So i am working on this commission...I need three colors

avacado/light olive,

peach/salmon/creamy tomato soup and

a yellow that blend with them both.

I have culled from my store bought fabrics all that i have that will work and i am short in all categories.

Here is a picture of a salmon/peach/creamy tomato soup fabric wet, just after screen printing before batching, and afterwards, washed and dried.

Here is a picture of all the salmon/peach/creamy tomato soup fabrics. The one i screen printed a couple of days ago is going to work! I have done a good step-one. I can keep working to finish it up to add to the pile of fabric I'll use. I am going to split this new fabric in half and do two different things with it and then that color will be done.

I am very short of the yellow and green fabrics so that is what i will work on this afternoon before we have to walk down to see the parade at the bottom of our street with all our neighbors.

I got print paste made last night in preparation for screen printing. I have two new screens ready to be used. One with glue resist and one with masking tape resist. I purchased both avacado and light olive colored dye to save time mixing it myself.... Off i go - wish me increasing skill.
