It is hard to find the tiny prints, I have been watching for them also.
If I find any, I'll let you know. Do you use all colors on pieces with a background setting of black, or mostly black and white mini prints?
I break my fabric down into 6 colors black burgandy green blue purple brown and then each color is broke down into dark med and light.

I look for a lot of contrast in the darks and lights. I prefer to use(but can't always find) a dark -say navy - with a white or cream tiny print or a color on color then reverse it for the lights a white or cream tiny print on a dark -navy- background

Mediums need to be in the middle range of the medium value so they contrast with but don't blend with the dark

I have never cared much for the waterecolors or batiks. Not small enough print and I prefer the country look

I'm just differant than everyone else!! I always have to do things the hard way! Makes life more challenging I quess.
