Did any of you get the package of Crescent's new rag mats?
Just got mine.
Fourteen, count 'em, 14 new solid core colors!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Solid core williamsburg green, maroon, bricky red (auburn,) leafy green (fern) and some good 'paper bag' browns! Some overlap Bainbridge's versions, most don't! Oh, happy day!

Now if someone would introduce a good robin's egg blue in a rag solid core, I will stop using antique white over and over. Maybe.

Yummy!
Good work, Crescent!

I find the "dirty" colors very nice for matting all sorts of antique papers. My main customer is an antique store, and their Victorian etchings look nice in solid core rags. I like to use a color that is just a teensy bit "yellower" than the paper. It makes the paper look fresher.
 
Had a customer just bring in her great-great-grandfather's baptismal certificate (with mouse eaten edges) and her great grandmothers marriage certificate (license?) and I think these new rag mats will be just the ticket.
Bravo Crescent!
 
Havn't gotten any!!!

so sad.............

And I had a woman bring in her grandparent's wedding certificate from 1872 that looked wonderful on one of the new rag mats. I'm with you Edie, I love 'em! Kudos to Crescent!
