[Satine De La Courcel]

Ohh the tea sounds lovely. especailly after haaving a foot of snow dumped overnight.....


Cochineal is wonderful to use with dying.. depending on what mordants are mixed with and for how long yoou leave the dye bath sit one may get anywhere form a pinky red to various shades of red to a purplish color. Fun stuff... Have not used it with pearls.

As for they Dyeing I am goignto continue to attempt more colors fo rmy clsas.. and keep throwing in some pearls to see what happens will be interesting to continue to see what results happen.

Madder is used for reds and browns as well.. but its abit touchy like Indigo I am told.. have noe tried it yet...

This will be fun to see what people come up with on their own as well if the fancy strikes themnto do so...

Cheers
Ash
