Hi all,
Have I mentioned that I love looking things up in the dictionary? And now that we have great dictionary resources on the internet, there is no excuse for not learning unfamiliar words. That said, after I read the sienna definition, I had to look up ferruginous.
sienna si⋅en⋅na [see-en-uh] –noun
1. a ferruginous earth used as a yellowish-brown pigment (raw sienna) or, after roasting in a furnace, as a reddish-brown pigment (burnt sienna).
2. the color of such a pigment.
Origin:
1750-60, "earth of Siena," from a city in central Italy,
where the coloring material was first produced.
ferruginous [fuh-roo-juh-nuhs] –adjective
1. Geology. iron-bearing: ferruginous clays.
2. of the color of iron rust.

I really like the fabric in the middle. It is so pretty with the other colors. Thanks for letting finding neat things from etsy.
That's funny. My husband tells me he used to sit and read the dictionary for pleasure.
Mmmm sienna. This was my favorite picture of the color palette posts.
