Rumination

 Here we are at color #9, and something unexpected happened: the background color is, unfortunately, blending in too much with the figurine's hood. It's not quite as blended in this photo, and I haven't yet looked at the print under natural light.

I have two options: either redesign the print so the background color is lighter, and hope that the contrast is enough, or design it as darker. The problem is that whatever I choose as a design for the background needs to work with a light OR dark color. The reason is that, if I choose to make the background light, and I find light makes the hood too washed out, I can switch to dark, and vice versa.

The case for dark is seen here. You can see the contrast. The down side is, depending on what color I choose, the pot she's holding risks disappearing.

Conversely, because the hood is so light, the hood may not pop. Stay tuned!
