I am working with your book Eco Colour. Yesterday brought a somewhat disappointing experience with eucalyptus but I'm going to try again with more leaves and less cloth and soak it for a long time. I did get a few light green leaf prints on wool and the iron pot helped a lot! A friend is coming over later this week with homespun wool from her sheep and we'll do skeins in onionskin dye. If you ever teach in the southern US again, I would love to take a class from you.Lauriehttp://slowlysheturned.netnoreply@blogger.com
