Messing Around

I wanted to try eco-dyeing with my red tulips from up on the mountain, plus I had some lovely dried rose petals from my Open House bouquet that I picked from our school gardens.

 

The results were spectacular.  I used a soy milk pre-mordant and a rusty nail to bundle the fabric with.  

And when I rinsed off the the remnants I didn't loose any color.

Yay!

My students want to know what I will do with them?

No idea yet, perhaps a bed quilt with all my others at a way later date.

Like when I retire  :)
