Three Colors
Well, not as happy as I had hoped. You can see differences. I think we know now that I will never be a professional. THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PALE! I am doing something wrong. I have to do more research. Oh, it looks so easy on paper, doesn't it?
Left to right: Walnut with Alum mordant on silk, plain raw silk, fermented cochineal on silk.
Still, they aren't suckage. The walnut is a pretty color. I do like it. It would look smashing under a green or gold wool dress. I have a lot of sewing to do and a lot of thinking over how to get all of this a great deal darker than it is.
