swatches galore!

Well, ok, I don't think my whopping two swatches particularly warrants the use of "galore", but I liked the sound of it. And hey, I'm making up for my lack of bloggish diligence by making two posts in as many days! So, yeah, as the title suggests, I've been swatching. First up, my swatch for…
