It's sharp and tangy on the tongue. <br /><br />Add to that a drop or two of age, experience, deepening of the soul, and you have burgandy. <br /><br />Add the royal luster of cobalt stopping two sighing breaths away from purple and you will achieve Aubergine. <br /><br />To that add the dense heaviness of navy blue and a grounding weight of earthly brown and you have touched upon the smooth, burnished flesh of eggplant.Lisa Olechnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253514971182687836.post-69628269964586487952009-09-18T17:34:03.268-04:002009-09-18T17:34:03.268-04:00Winslow -
