Rubber gloves might be a good idea next time. This lasted all night on my hands, no matter how many times I lathered up. I'm going to try to remember to set the markings from each attempt before continuing with the next material.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-10547851558973561002011-10-14T09:54:20.635-06:002011-10-14T09:54:20.635-06:00Deanna, I just never realized that dyeing is such ...Deanna, I just never realized that dyeing is such a smelly process! The plant material truly turns into green manure. I wish I would've set those markings somehow, maybe with heat, before I continued with the bindweed.

I'm thinking that re-dying over and over until something happens is teaching me something -- on an inner level, maybe. I'd love to know what your results are, especially the rose hips. I've rolled them in bundles but haven't prepared a proper rosehip dyebath yet. Soon though as the eglantine rose is covered with them! I love the imagery of the crone over the dye-port. Love it, love it.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-92205780589853081712011-10-13T18:27:39.765-06:002011-10-13T18:27:39.765-06:00also laughing...don't you love those surprise ...also laughing...don't you love those surprise markings that show up? & love that photo of the pot w/flowers beside it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-20150848291813337722011-10-13T14:55:49.304-06:002011-10-13T14:55:49.304-06:00the smell is the only part of this process I disli...the smell is the only part of this process I dislike, but it's worth it and so much fun. love the markings on the cloth in that third photo.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-41215949079240254742011-10-13T12:15:10.594-06:002011-10-13T12:15:10.594-06:00I started laughing when you described the smell. O...I started laughing when you described the smell. Oh, how well I know that smell! The only thing that smells worse is silage from the canning of peas. I have had similar lack of results and keep reminding myself that those whose cloth I admire have been doing it for years. I have a pot of walnut going and one of rose hips. Next up are maple leaves and hansa rose petals. I always think of a crone over her kettle and maybe the problem is I don't know the correct incantation to impart the plant markings on the cloth. Don't give up!Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.com
