it's been maybe close to 20 years since i opened this beautiful Dover book.   and maybe it was
because i used the word Chartreuse in a comment that i actually remembered.   Remembered sitting staring at the pages upon pages of colors that i would not imagine together, but seeing how somehow,  this way,  they were ok.  some so Pleasing, but in the least, ok.  even Chartreuse.  and Pink.  
so, a Key.  what is it about these Art Nouveau designs that allows this for me????????

    and on the back cover….
    “…these patterns offer such color combinations as a blue petaled flower with green leaves on a mustard background, a salmon-colored flower with robin’s-egg blue leaves on a beige field, and royal blue flowers with golden leaves on golden stems silhouetted in light blue-green on a deep blue-green field.”

    and all these thoughts from well over 100 years ago hold true and even more so in this plastiscenic era
    http://www.shonawilson.com/artwork/2012/plastiscenic-future-remains/ of cheap shiny cloth with the most awful texture made with poisonous dyes in to clothing that falls apart in less than a season. The commercial clothing industry is killing rivers and people in 3rd world countries to make ugly clothes that sell for less than what we paid for clothes 40 years ago!

    and yes. this is why almost all the cloth i use is
    re~cycle. Thrift shop. With the exception pretty much
    of Deb Lacativa’s work. But her dye work is on recycle
    also.
