Well thank you!


I can't deny that it went against every bone in my body to stick to the rule of anything goes...but I soon got over it when I realised that actually it DOES work, sticking to colour value, working dark against lights. This works with mediums too, I just made sure that I used the 'darker' lights with the 'darker' darks, and the 'very light' lights with the mediums to ensure the best overall contrasts between the two!!

Here comes the confession....If you look closely enough, you WILL see that quite a few of the 4 patches and HST's in particular have complimentary fabrics..I was doing this unconsciously, while gathering them up...just comes as 2nd nature to 'match' up fabrics I guess LOL :-D :-D :-D :lol: :D
