Emily Carr Colours for you

There is deep majic in the forests of Canada.
Our Artist Emily Carr captured these spirits in her work
 Sombreness Sunlit, c. 1938 - 1940
oil on canvas
110.7 cm x 67.2 cm


I used my own Majic Carpet Dyes to capture her colourations in formulas.
You can too.

Here is Tree Bark from Sombreness Sunlit

1/128th tsp. Turquoise
1/128th tsp. Seal Brown

This is a wonderful neutral that would work for many places in a hooked rug, anywhere a cool gray is needed from flesh to forest as seen above to florals.

If you are interested in dyeing more amazing Carr colours you can buy the whole collection, 19 colours inspired from 4 paintings in The WandaWorks Store as well as the Majic Carpet Dyes to create them.
