dandelion: Mental Mama & the Great Outdoors

dandelion: Mental Mama & the Great Outdoors: A quick post this week as things are pretty hectic & I'm struggling to have even one clear thought! What with end of school stuff,...

natural dyes

One more wool coloring. Obel leaves. 

I had pledged that I would paint the five wool mantles and leave the other five natural. But we ran out of the old "Berry Pineapple" and fell apart. I got the leaves, filled with warm water. After a couple of days I slept. And then just like with mushrooms . 
.

1 - Cucumber - Iron Sulphate (stained for 1 hour);

2 - Cauliflower - Copper sulphate (painted for 1 hour Very mild grayish green);

3 - Cuckoo - Copper Sulphate (I poured vinegar and went to the theater. That's what I found when I came back. It's a strange color, very similar to a wall yellow lichen). 

Johnson ordered the cold slippers :). 

Lacy bag

When you do not want to wrap a gift in paper .... put it in a bag :) Curtain cloth, tip of lace and wooden saga (how it is annoying me now that not instead :). Everything is sewn on cardboard and has a bag of size and mood.

I would like to learn to photograph ...

Tea dyed woolen vest

A couple of years ago, I was wearing a white wool vest for a senior. Successfully wore. It is "inherited" by the little one. Very soon it became an exposition of irresistible stains (probably a protest against old clothes). And the wool is good, does not pull, and knit bad .... I decided to rescue the vest. When the inspiration comes - you can't wait. At my finger , I had the only natural dye - tea. So I dipped the vest into the tepid strong black tea and left for a good hour (no mouthpieces). Then I talked to the detergent. The result is a little childish color, but stains! We have a new vest :)

Colorful days for everyone!
