Dustbowl: Swatches

My windowsill if covered in swatches for Dustbowl air-drying from this morning's over-dying. I spent this morning in the costume shop over pots in variations of taupe, ecru, and pearl grey dye vats. They're a little dark right now and I can't wait to see them when they dry and lighten up. I had previously overdyed these during a class in tans and cocoa browns but my professor proclaimed them to be too Oklahoma! because the browns were too red. Hopefully I've knocked the musical theatre right out of my color palette!
