Did you happen to see the Queen of England on TV this morning? She got off an airplane in Ireland.... dressed in PLUE ... head to toe! After i posted, this, and found this image on the net, i realize this looks more green, but on my TV, it looked like my rubber glove! her dress is definetly showing shades of plue!

i found a better shot of the outfit - doesn't it look more Plue to you?

i think the Queen probably saw my blog about plue, and had her dress designers make her this ensemble - however, i think the designer did not have the munsell chips to get the thread quite the right plue! but they nailed it in the dress under the coat!

i do really like that color green - (not kidding)

Karren,

This is what student who have no homework do all day! (see above)

Cathie - what should we do tomorrow?!

do you suppose she doesn't wear collars on her overcoats, because of the hats?

I love that color, wonder what the notation is on that? Think I might have to dye it! But not tomorrow:)

I know why there aren't any collars.  The chin comes down and there is no room left for collars.  Enjoy those collars while you can.  I saw her some where else today and it was plue.  But she likes all colors, I've seen her in vilolet, turquoise, red, white, but usually rather bold mid-value colors.

 

I saw my first issue of People magazine in Spanish today, passing thru the library and the colors on the cover were to dye for!

Karren, are you referring to the plue skirt? or the plue-green dress?

Karren K. Brito

Baby pine cones in many shades of magenta and many shades of pine green.Some brown too.  Are you going to use this as the inspiration to paint your skein Sat???

Plue for Mary, Hot Pink for Karren, Tangerine (on inside cover) for Cathie.  Does that mean that Peggy gets the man? Oh, there is also Gold on the inside.  Peggy what is your fav?

But they never have just the right color! I get tired of being limited with yarns with only 3 DOS, or let's say three between YR and R. Now I can do as many as I want. In the exhibit Green at the textile museum DC, James Koehler had the most magnificent tapestry all in many colors of soft turquoise, gently gradated. The picture is in SS &D ( the recent one) page 3. I can't wait to dye some yarns for my tapestries. Freedom! I also think the Queen wears collarless jackets so she can show off jewelry!

Probably the purple sandals but I sure wouldn't want to wear them!  Three foot surgeries and 3 screws later....yowch!
