Alter Ego wackiness

Tried out the Alter Ego dyes on some cut-velvet silk/rayon bags from Dharma. Worked pretty good... there is some cross-staining between the silk color and the rayon color, but the red/yellow and blue/yellow combinations were still very attractive.

Then I tried putting red and turquoise silk dyes in and red rayon. Yikes! The background was a smokey blue gray and the foreground was brilliant coral! Not... quite what I wanted. Alter Ego remains a mystery, and it's too expensive to play around with.
