Title: Dirty martini with what colours?
Post by: Mand on September 07, 2010, 03:55:48 PM
Hi

I'm being a bit of a numbskull with colour co-ordination this week.  Have been in the blue shack making up some sets for autumn/winter jewellery.  I'm loving Dirty Martini but not on it's own, it's maybe a bit bland?  What other colours would look good with it?  Any suggestions please?

Ta ever so! ;)

It's nice as an off-white base for pastelly green-pink-purple frit blends too.
