| The Calico Jig Collections Painting System | |
| currently consists of Six Base Colors and Five Overlays producing over 50 presentable options. Not Anymore! New 10/08 we Custom-made our own base Colors - click here "This concept first popped into my mind at the end of Febuary 2008" -- Jay@johnsjigs.com All Jig Eyes Are Clean.
As always, if there is something you want but do not see, merely ask and we'll let you know if it's possible or feasible; meaning, the smallest jigs are better off with fewer overlays, as they become too cluttered. As you've heard, sometimes less is more. | |
| The original six base colors are: Blue, White,Yellow, Yellow Chartreuse, Red and Black | |
| The five overlays are: Black, Red, White, Yellow Chartreuse and Gold | |
|
The number of and amount of overlays, along with the sequence of overlays, produces many different results. NO TWO are ever exactly the same, these are "hand-created" by chance. We are still "playing" with the concept and more options may be down the line. | |
|
The "natural" look/ flash of the colors created by this painting system is quite remarkable. They are something to see out of the water, but even more so in the water. | |
| As far as we are aware, and those who have been among the first to ever see/use them, there has NEVER been anything like this before! The photos TRULY do not do them justice. | |

We have highlighted the most presentable to us so far,

and you best know your water and conditions (and superstitions).

For proprietary reasons the order/sequence of ANY overlay has been distorted, and sometimes certain overlays get doubled-up (before and after). Again, we have highlighted our favorites so far. |
