| some people will love this color! |
Just 18 more days until StashFest!
Still trying to get a good rich red
from natural dyes. Will madder work? The sample on linen at Botonical
Colors was exactly what I want. Only, I want it on silk. With MY
water.
So far, the madder gives me the one
color I that makes my skin crawl. It's the orange of my dad's flight
suit during that very scary time the U.S. faced off with Russia over
missles in Cuba.
Some people, who don't have that memory,
will love this color, but for me, please, please make it redder! I
tried adding calcium carbonate, and the vat nearly bubbled over! It
didn't even change the color much, though the slightly pinker shade
is one I can live with more easily.
Do you have any ideas to make madder redder?
