They are neat looking.<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-61076485865838321952016-03-07T09:02:14.937-06:002016-03-07T09:02:14.937-06:00Dyeing is always a mysterious process.

Even if they are not what you were hoping for these are lovely! I bet if you used your two pink fabrics together they would look good! I, on the other hand attempted to do some rusted fabric - you I am sure will tell me where I went wrong…I used cotton fabric, I wrapped up some keys(not rusted- just keys) put them in with water and vinegar left them for a.a.a.ages out on my balcony, got the rubber gloves on, unwrapped it all - everything just as I had put it in - except wet of course!!! I am now going to ask my son for some rusty stuff next time he is working on an older house - lucky lad he is away to Rome and Budapest this week so will have to wait! Hugs, Chrisx ps we are home now so will be catching up with everything!!! pearshapedcraftinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744515186281908192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-29623381762993227812016-03-06T08:21:06.473-06:002016-03-06T08:21:06.473-06:00I never thought about dyeing with grape juice. You...I never thought about dyeing with grape juice. You would think it would work better, but maybe when they add all the sugar and water and process it it kills the coloring. I've always wanted to try natural dyeing beyond tea and coffee. I bet beet juice would work good. And I heard red onion skin...love seeing your experiments. Interesting caucus results yesterday. I think there could be some interesting results in the rest of the states, and at least its not photocopied repeats in every state this time. Yup, I baked a cake last night, which I need to frost today and I am heading up to play today after I frost my cake...am very excited to have a play day! Happy Sunday to you.

However the subtle shades do look lovely and perhaps be more usable in that more colour could be added at a future time.<br />Yvonne xx Meggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-9262160058943642652016-03-06T02:39:50.035-06:002016-03-06T02:39:50.035-06:00oh my what a great fun thing to try.
