Color Analysis: Cool and Brilliant

Hugging the cool side of the chart is Snow White incarnate, with ethereal, moonlit skin and deep, dark locks (or possibly dark ebony skin and inky black tresses).
A dark ring rims your iris while spokes of glinting color radiate from the pupil.

The intense contrast between your translucent skin and pigment soaked hair and eyes foretells of personal radiance in pure, crisp colors, like those following on the left. Wearing the warm colors in the right forebodes of epidermal infirmity.

Yes Ma'am	No Sir
Bright Emerald	Olive Green
Lemon/Canary Yellow	Mustard
Cherry Red	Brick Red
Schiaparelli Pink/Fuchsia	Apricot
Dark/Dove Grey	Tobacco Brown
Navy	Rusty Orange
Pure White	Camel/Beige

Color Theory: Warm vs. Cool

Wearing the wrong color can make you ill. Sallow, ashen, and muddy complexions are all signs of color contamination. And the only protection against chromatism allergies is color composition cognizance, specifically, knowledge of the amount of warmth and coolness in your hair, skin, and eyes.

So, as you are now asking, what makes the blue sky cool and the yellow sun warm? I answer, the warm nucleus is embodied by: red, orange, and yellow. The cool core embraces: blue, green, and violet. Additional combinations of these primary and secondary founders births a brood of warm and cool tertiary creations. Your eyes, hair, and skin included. Now follow me down below for a warm and cool dichotomy of your chromatic features.

Cool	Warm
Eyes
Pure, clear blue (light to mid)	Mid to deep blue with golden flecks
Gray Hazel	Golden hazel
Rosy brown to jet black	Golden brown
Bright blue-green	Green with golden flecks
Skin
Rosy (red or blue undertones)	Peachy (yellow or golden undertones)
Green olive	Golden olive
Blue-black or rosy brown	Golden honey brown
Veins (look at the underside of your forearm)
Blueish	Greenish
Hair
Ash, sandy, or platinum blonde	Honey, golden, or strawberry blonde
Violet or bordeaux red	Copper or rust wine red
Ash brown	Golden brown
Salt & pepper gray	Ginger gray
Deep blue black	Warm deep brown/black

If you hugged the left side of the chart, that means something. If you veered far right, that also means something. And if you switched sides like a campaigning politician, or fell in the middle like a dedicated swing group, that means something to.

But I won't tell you what it means until tomorrow.

The Color Series

This week on Cardigan Empire we will be immersing ourselves in decadent chromasity. The classification of whether your complexion will thrive under periwinkle or indigo, is cardinal (not as in red, but as in vital and fundamental). So enjoy your Labor Day and come back tomorrow for color analysis.

Children's Fashion: Paper Wings

Once upon a time there was a handsome knight named Jason Gibaud & a beautiful maid called Michelle Fallon. Love and marriage ensued as well as magical amounts of costume design for theatre and movies like: Mouline Rouge, Star Wars, and Peter Pan.








As they loved and sewed they had two lovely little children: Vevette & Esther. And soon the delights of Paper Wings was born too.

They wanted to celebrate the freedom of being children, looking like children, and most importantly feeling like children.

Something that could be worn everyday, loved, and worn out before it was grown out.

"So if you were a costume designer for childhood, what would it look and feel like?"

Childrens Fashion: Cloth Diapers

Babies should never be suited in shapers; rolls are part of their mystique. However, that doesn't mean these wee ones don't require foundational garments, specifically the diaper. While there are a myriad of nappy options, at present I am leaning towards the cloth variety for the following reasons:


1. I am adamantly opposed to synthetic fibers. I would never wear vinyl myself and swaddling Baby Bagley bums in plastic violates core fashion philosophies.
2. You can hang them on the line to dry in the sun. If that isn't my picture of happy motherhood, I don't know what is.
3. While more of an investment up front, they're reusable properties make them a better value over time, especially since they can be used on multiple children.
4. Obviously they're cute. Like I would recommend something that was entirely practical.

Dear, wise, lovely Mrs. Emily Childers at Your Natural Baby & More can tell you all about these cloth cuties. Clickety click on over today, where you can win your choice of either a Bum Genius One Size Pocket Diaper or a Bummis cover (Super Whisper wrap /Super Brite) with 3 prefold diapers from Babies in Bloom.

My buddy Morris (heir to the Childer's Dynasty), who is a really, real baby (not to mention really cute) recommends these brands:

Lia Molly Sweater Winner

As if we could settle for a silly pseudo-random algorithm to generate the winning number for our child cozy. No, no I can only accept exceptional randomness produced by atmospheric noise, a radioactive source, or the activity of lava lamps.

Given the constraints of integers between 1 and 169 (the number of total entries for three days), truly random number 74 was generated by random.org. Lucky number 74 translates into Cassandra at Dandelion Bones. Now I know what you're thinking, it looks like that Lia Molly Sweater was designed exclusively for Aislyn (4) and Ember (2), but that my empirical followers is simple stochasticity


Congrats Cassandra!I hope you and your petites enjoys this wee snuggler.
