The following picture is of a piece of cloth that I purchased and dyed, hoping to create a useful sea mat for Dystopian Wars. The color of the lighter blue does not show up well - it was originally white with blue zebra stripes. I think it is too busy, so it may be back to the drawing board, with $18 worth of materials down the drain.
Anyone have any ideas how to tone it down? Should I hit it with some spray paint or something? Or is this one chalked up to experience and start over?
Have any of you created a good sea mat yourself? I want some wave pattern in it, smooth finish, not rough canvas weave, felt, or flannel. Any tips for me?
Try it with a darker blue, maybe, or try bleaching it down to take some of the colour out of the dark parts? I think the pattern looks good, but the contrast is too high.
ReplyDeleteI picked up an old pub curtain in blue velvet (or maybe velvet effect) which looks very effective : http://glueinthecarpet.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/1600-airwar-c21.html
A darker blue might help.
