My completed Color Dive quilt - I usually don’t do quilt kits, but there was this gorgeous quilt at the Anna Maria Parry booth at QuiltCon 2024 featuring handprinted fabric (which I also don’t usually work with) and I *needed* it.

Here’s some detail shots - I threw in some of my stash fabrics (and also bought more blue and purple because those are my faves). I took it to the longarm for quilting and binding.

And here’s the back, where I used up lots of the leftover fabric. Binding is Starry in pink (older version). This lives on my bed now and it makes me SO happy.

Pattern: Color Dive by Anna Maria

Viking dresses by Savelyeva Ekaterina

Another visual demonstration that historical clothing wasn’t dingy and monochrome.

All of these colours can be obtained from vegetable dyes, producing different shades depending on what mordant (colour fixative - alum, different metal filings, different vinegars) was used. See here and here for examples.

BRING THIS FASHION BACK.

Not clothes, but this was a palette developed by the National Museum of Denmark based on paint residue from archaeological finds for the purpose of painting a reconstructed hall.

Apparently, they can tell from the chemical composition that the colours wouldn’t be mixed with black or white to mute them, but be used in their brightest form. Bright yellow and red was achieved with expensive dyes (orpiment and cinnabar) and was thus fashionable. (Source in Danish)
