"Look at that pee vat ferment! The container is quite large, but appears disproportionately small propped up on my deck railing."

Dude! That's my tupperware container!

(Just kidding)

While it is INDEED Tupperware(tm), I swear to you it is mine, I paid a HUGE physical - not to mention emotional (I'm still attending party-lite and scrapbooking parties to return the favor to attendees at my co-worker imposed tupperware 9 years ago party - toll for that fucking tupperware, wish it was Tupping Fuckerware instead cuz at least then I could get off) Party, It's mine all right, and it is indeed full of URINE. The nasty kind. But what Woadalicious fun it will eventually be! Blue blue blue! Beloved Laurel, DAHLING, if you need something emblue-ened, do ask now!

That looks like fried calamari. Damn, now I need to go to a seafood place! ;-)

Dearest Apprentice Sister and lifelong friend: You can have anything you want from me. Seafood? Questionable Italian Pasta? Calamari? Orange Wool? It's yours, Darling. You just Hollah.
Looking forward to seeing you in a couple-O-weeks,
Nimso.

My urine has been fermenting for months. You may want to get a gas mask if you let it sit for longer than 1-2 weeks. It's very putrid! ( I collected all of my urine for a week and ended up with a gallon. Peeing in a funnel - NOT FUN!)

I am using mine to felt wool which means hands on and thus why only MY urine is being used.

Your madder dread locks are very pretty - if you re-use those roots you'll probably get a deeper red - the first dye bath tends to get all the yellows out of the madder. I like that colour though!

Cool, that's good to know! I saved the roots/dye to do another batch out of curiosity:)
Keep us posted on that stinky urine vat of yours, that sounds cool.

I am sure you already know this but if you overheat madder it will turn brown - so make sure you keep your vat around 180F and do not boil!
