I did a little experimentation with Daniel Smith’s Cobalt Teal Blue with a few colors and I hope these swatches does the job. I must be in a very picky mood because I was trying for the perfect angle and color swatch, oh my goodness!
Debi Riley was interested in what I discovered and wished that I got a better representation of Lunar Blue and CBT together, I tried but I am not sure if it really shows off the beautiful combination.
I laid down the heavier granulating colors which are Lunar Blue and Hematite and then the CTB, I think that they float together quite well. I have to admit that I am more partial to Hematite mixture the most. I do need to get more of that color, one of my favorites. Then I tried DS Quin. Red and it was beautiful! I couldn’t get a good photo but I must say….wow! Take my word for it.
That’s all folks! I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. I have a sudden picky mood come on, not the depressing kind, more of a quiet contemplative kind. Whatever that means, no clue. Just a few days break is in order.

oh so fun! I forgot to mention that CTB and cobalt blue are also a beautiful mix, very “fresh” only way I can describe it.

Oh yes, I do love hematite I use it as much as possible…..may need to get that CBT, but I don’t use blue often enough, but I have lunar blue which I adore….I might check out that red, as I do use that in animals now and again 😀

It is a beautiful color though it is a semi-trans. and it doesn’t play well with all colors. It likes to be the star, so I was excited when I found a few colors that goes well with it.
