He was wearing one of the shirts recently, and another guy came up and, pointing at his shirt, identified the when, the where and the label (WilliWear). Turns out he used to work there. Ah, still some of the best stuff he owns (and I borrow shamelessly) is over 30 years old and multihued or made by me (and multihued).

It's a quilting book, but it's a great short explanation of both color theory and composition. Try to get a used one, if you want one, because the Amazon copies are print on demand and the colors may not be true.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-9930852314017708602014-11-17T10:23:23.005-05:002014-11-17T10:23:23.005-05:00I just picked one of the cheaper used copies on Am...I just picked one of the cheaper used copies on Amazon (less than $1 before shipping).Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-49171451959071859812014-11-17T10:17:46.747-05:002014-11-17T10:17:46.747-05:00I think that I'll purchase a copy as well.

And yellow has meant very different things in different times and places as well: In Byzantium, prostitutes had to wear yellow while in Imperial China it was reserved for the Emperor. <br /><br />Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-4185220389435397422014-11-17T02:03:32.520-05:002014-11-17T02:03:32.520-05:00Interesting.
