Was it worth the wait?
You tell ME..................
Cold bundles left in a container full of left over cold dye liquid for 28 days, and this is the result:
(mind you it stunk, but that is a small price to pay), they were washed in the washing machine:
that was the dried red roses
detail from Grevilla robusta,
something as simple as slices of lemon

those dried roses seem to work better than fresh ones....
yes India,
they are roses I buy from the market occasionally.
I just let them dry naturally and leave in a corner until I find a use for them, as they smell as nice as lavender and Eucalyptus......
They produced a very strong colour in the cold bundle, just as well I made a pattern..........
love the results - dried red roses works better in cold bundles than in hot bundles - than they will turn into a brownish to nothing one. I have one rosebud in the freezer, wonder what that will do..
Great post Madeleine!
