New Color from Lorna's Laces     Brooklyn Tweed Grand Street Ink

It's here, it's here! Grand Street Ink, the latest in the Color Commentary Series. It's a really rich, wine-y brown-y purple-y beauty. The original color inspiration came from some wonderful graffiti that Jaren Flood (http://brooklyntweed.net/blog/) saw on Grand Street in Brooklyn that used heavy swaths of rich indigo and black.
