Mad experiment #217...

[mickc22]

...didn\'t quite go according to plan, these were meant to come out orange

but they are more of a Ruby Red,
not that it\'a a bad thing, but I was trying to get a more Autumn/Orangey look
Now what to name them?......

 

[Modderrhu]

The girlfriend says, \"Forest Floor Fall\". What can I do but agree with her? Makes lots of sense, actually, since darker and richer colours would be associated with a more moist environment.

 

[mickc22]

yeah I see the logic there, like it, like it
the ones I was actually trying to make this color ended up a sort of browny/purpley/dark reddy ??? (best I can do) kinda color

Hey wait!

I missed mad experiments 1-216!!

Did any involved bovine manipulation?

 

[Drake Farstrider]

I really like that color of leaves, The one thing I might suggest is putting some yellow and orange leaves in the mix. That way you get some truely great looking autum colors.

 

[Ogrebane]

I agree with drake its nice but a bit of yellow and orange will help break it up and make for a better autumn mix.

 

[Dragon Forge Design]

OOOH! Colors.. that would be nice.. all I have is just plain old brown ones..

How are you getting colors?

 

[mrteal]

Absolutely brilliant. They look great. A colorful mix would be great.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Mick, name them \"Copper Beech\".
That\'s what they look like.
Nice & Autumnal!

I was thinking along those lines, I\'ll give it a try & see how it turns out

You know, Mick, if we all had free samples to look at, we could help you better!lol

 

[mickc22]

:] hmm....that\'s a bit :moon:
lol

 

[mickc22]

more experiments later

Here are some mixes I\'ve been playing around with (sorry if it takes a while to load, but I wanted them to be as clear as possible, please be patient)

What do you like?
I quite like the 3:1 mix myself
or would you prefer to buy them seperately, & mix the ratios of your choice
(If any one wants to do a poll feel free)

 

[Sand Rat]

Strait and 3:1 are nice.

Well Great minds think alike.

I really like the 2:1 But the 3:1 is also very nice.

I think it might be cool to have the option to either buy them separetely or together.
