Hey, I’m Ez. This is a side blog for things that make my lil neurodivergent brain happy!

Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.

So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.

I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)

If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.

I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!

The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.

For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.

Finally finished weighing out and blending all the tints and shades! Each color got a swatch mixed with 50% white, and 50% black.

Plus some pure black and white mixes to compare to my cyan/magenta/yellow midtone gray tint and shade.

I really like the oil slick quality of the color based grays!

My wife and I are fans of Drawfee, as well as Jacob Andrews and Julia Lepetit's other show, Secret Sleepover Society. One of our cats, however, is a fan of their cats specifically, Joy and Olive. Whenever we watch one of their gaming videos, he comes up to the television in the hopes of seeing them. I like to imagine that it is The Joy and Olive Show for him, which is what inspired me to paint this piece.

We had the opportunity to see Drawfee live earlier this month, and had a blast! I even got to give Jacob and Julia a copy of this as a print, and I hope that they enjoyed it at least a little bit.
