I took some photos of Kyle and Aeran last night. Aeran has changed from her demure white gown from a few weeks ago, into a Celtic Warrior Maiden, ready to go on an expedition with Kyle.

I'm thinking the light threads in Aeran's plaid make her outfit look too "busy". In real life they don't stand out as much as they do in the photos, but photos are what count. I'm thinking maybe I should over-dye the tartan with a blue in order to mute all those light lines. Problem is, it will mute the reds too, and if I don't like it there's no going back. Maybe I should just get some dye and experiment with the leftover fabric first. Dyeing would definitely be faster than remaking the skirt and cloak. In the meantime, I'll go check what other plaids I have - just in case.

Hi Martha
What about just tea dying the fabric I think that would not mute the red to much and make the white much more muted just a thought. Try it on a small peace first and see how it looks. The white really does stand out in the pics. but the outfit is still great.

Jan suggested tea dyeing too, but I suspect that will just make everything a bit more 'beige', and I want a more 'unified' look, so the tartan doesn't scream for attention like it does now. I'm going to try blue dye.
