I would like to make a 100x100 cm piece of calico and dye it and try and emulate what you do,(then staple it to a canvas for a wall) but as I've never done this before, I would like to know if the water you boil the fabric in has a dye in it? or is it just water and its the bundled up fabric that contains the skins(onion) or leaves? Does the water contain any vinegar?<BR/>I am familiar with dyeing polish easter eggs using onion skins, being of that culture, but fabric may require different rules, so I would love a pointer in the right direction with thanks - your work is just magnificent!Everydaythingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562558164959015562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-64585904680646854082008-06-30T08:18:00.000+09:302008-06-30T08:18:00.000+09:30Yum!

Your dying techniques and leaf prints fascinate me. How do you think wood will react to the eucalyptus treatment....painting the solution onto the wood etc?
