Signature Corset Intro: Colour Palette For My Kontinuum Hybrid Corset

I've long been searching for the perfect rainbow fabric with which to create what will be my signature hybrid Kontinuum Corset. I didn't have much luck (apparently rainbow fabric is hard to find) and the few fabrics I did find were pretty atrocious. I then decided I'd make my own fabric with plain white canvas and fabric markers. I sat with this idea for awhile but while flossing another corset it dawned on me that I could just make my plain white corset (and a plain black as well)  and embroider the colours and patterns I prefer. So with the decision made it now seems that my Kontinuum Corsets will end up being an extended long term project. The first step being to chose colour palettes. Now that I have my colours picked the next step will be to make a  sampler to help me decide which patterns of flossing I would like to use. So, for now here are my colours and with luck I'll have my sampler done soon.

In part 1: Creation of flossing sampler pics and probably some ranting about all of the trials and tribulations that accompany the sampler's creation.
