The Colour

Named for the crystal formation of minerals forged in volcanoes and hot springs, orpiment has warm yellow tones throughout. Orpiment has been used in alchemy to create gold and was once used in traditional Chinese medicine, despite the fact that it can be toxic if mishandled. Orpiments' dark patches and mysterious speckles which counteract the warm yellows hint at this double edged nature. The perfect colour for creating depth, it will keep you intrigued with every stitch.
