Good point about keeping craft "tools" like bowls separate from food bowls, even if one uses food ingredients in the craft bowl. Better safe than sorry, as you said.

It was fabulous to see how the grape juice dyed the different fabrics; for some reason I wasn't expecting the colours that resulted but I should have known as the muslin I use to make grape jelly turns this colour ...ha ha 😀.

Next is to be grateful for all you learned, and to also find ways to use the transformed fabrics. I’m sure you will with your limitless art journals and altered books! I envy the enthusiasm of those who enjoy dyeing fabrics. I will never do it though, it’s just too much like cooking for me. 😉Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621581899286806108noreply@blogger.com
