Finally got to tinker with a couple of new colors from the Rosey's purchase.First color I played with was their Red-Lilac...

Looks pretty good straight from the jar.

Just a couple of possibilities for some multi color:
Never could get the camera to capture the tru color of the tails...Not near this blue.

Great looking colors!!!!!!!! Leave the red glitter in on the one head!!!!!!!! Once it's tied up I'd bet it looks like spots of blood

And I REALLY!!!!!! like that Coral Blue over white pearl!!!!!!!!!!!

All those jigs should get you bit!!!

All are great colors. Love the two tone mixes and the colors you used in tying the jigs. I didn't even see those two missed up heads at all :D

Great-looking work RT. :cool:

Your paint combination in the third photo down reminds me of Jonathan Apples. How 'bout that for a color name? :)

The photos are great too. :icon14:

BTW, I mixed what I feel is a really nice-looking "baby bass green" from the combination of Rosey's safety blue, Harbor Freight yellow, and Orbit clear. Will show it soon.

Paint mixing is a lot of fun. :t-up:
