Candied Fabrics : Earth Triad Shades, Tints and Tones



I'm still dyeing samples from the Candiotic Table.  This is the Shades-Tints-Tones sample set from the Earth Triad.  I finally got the labels affixed.

 In the Candiotic Table below, you see the Earth and Sky Triads I dyed earlier this spring/summer.  Earth is lower right; Sky is upper left.  I took the pure hues from the darker Earth set and parsed them out into Shades-Tints and Tones.  
Quite a difference between them and an exercise worth doing.

Some of the pure hues were so dark, I didn't have much hope for them being anything but dark dark dark.  But this exercise really lightened them up (for the most part) and really showed off some of their personalities!

Michele,
I am finished my tints, shades and tones of all 29 of my colors, plus the pyramids...yikes! Not sure if you are taking Candy's "Dyeing 102: Texture on Fabric" or not, but it is OUTSTANDING. BTW, I never tire of looking at your quilt of Oliver. So lovely.
