Hi! Things are finally starting to go in the right direction. The green cotton seeds that were given to me by Jillian have all sprouted. I also have starts in Lupine, Hopi Black Dye Sunflowers, and a couple types of indigo. I got the new madder seeds, and I'll start soaking them tonight. I also plan on working on the dye flowers bed tonight, starting the marigolds and hollyhocks, and doing a bit of dying with left over dyes from last season. May as well use them, right?
I decided to "make lemonade" with the yellow flower blossoms disaster. I'd already removed the blossoms when it occurred, so I "rehydrated" the black ooze, and tossed in some leftover annato dye bath for good measure. I'm dying as we speak. Every 15 to 20 minutes I lift a little more out of the bath. So far, I have a gold/bronze sort of color. We'll have to see what happens.
Much to do and little time.
Dye Happy!
