Bored so I mixed some pigments...*edited* with pics!

[pumpkincat210]

So I am very bored this afternoon and so I thought I'd mix some of my pigments to make new colors and then name them. I came up with a bunch of colors. They are in the drying process right now, but I can't wait to see how they turn out. The only pigments i used a significant amount was with Vanilla and Pink Pearl. I will post swatches of them later and pick out some names.

Here they are:

row 1 top to bottom:

row 2:


row 3:

row 4:

row 5:


they are all really shimmery in the light.
Color descriptions:
1. Lavender with minimal turquoise glitter
2. dirty mauve with pink shimmer
3. Purple with pink shimmer
4.(my favorite) Pink with Black duochrome
5. True pink with shimmer
6. Paled Gold with pink shimmer
7. mid tone blue with lavender shimmer
8. Green with slver sparkle
9.green with gold shimmer
10. Purple with pink reflects and silver frost
11. paler version of blue brown
12. barely pinked vanilla shimmer
13. black with blue shimmer and golden and turqouise sparkle
14. tan with gold reflect

Now I need some names for them.

So do you dilute them with some water and then mix them?
I would mix them dry.....

nooo, i mixed them with alcohol so they will be pressed once it evaporates..which is slow to say the least.

I'll work on that as i remembered everything in my head! haha, but i'm really tired right now.

If you use a blowdryer, they dry faster! Only it takes about 24 hours for the alcohol smell to completely go away. I pressed Coco the other day, it turned out well

 

[veilchen]

Great idea! I especially love the pastel colours of the first row!

 

[Becki]

[booters78]

[turtle_pixie_]

Thanks everyone! I used #1, 12, and 3, I think. The experiment was well worth it. and super easy and fun. I just started mixing primary colors and then adding other colors. When you mix them make sure you put enough alcohol in to dissolve everything and shake/stir well. Also don't put too much alcohol in or the different colors will settle. I had this problem on one of them.
Its really a trial and error thing but if anyone comes up with a clever combination please post!

those are some gorgeous color combos! thanks for the ideas and the hard work
