Karen Combs has some totally awesome pink batiks (just pink, not mixed) coming out through Print Concepts.

If I think about the ratio of what my LQS stocks 80 percent or higher would be dark . or med/dark. So that means I am always on the search for light and med/light in other than the 1895 type.

Lights for good contrast are always hard for me to find.

Yes, my issue also. Lights without dark patterns on them are really hard to find. Some pattern is fine, but I don't like it when it's high contrast dark.

I find it hard to get a nice red batik.

Grey. A light grey that doesn't look dirty. Second is lights, any neutral lights that don't look dirty. Sometimes the light colors look like they were washed last in the dirty leftover waters.
