Natural dye photos - longish

[fragmentsofnim]

I found my camera! Here is the results of some of the dying I did last week. No pictures of the processes were taken this time, on account of camera missing. Results only:

Very cool. Did the wool from the stale urine dye hold it's stench after you dried it?

[fragmentsofnim]

oddly, no. A few hours after it was completely dry, it ceased smelling of urine completely:)

(and smelled horrible. A disgusting foul stench worthy of mention by Dante in about the 4th circle)

and now you have some idea of the stench of a fermenting urine vat - if the cedar tree hadn't come along and lost its top and smashed the vat to bits, we had plans to dress in black and sneak it across the street to the empty lot to get rid of it. Foul just begins to explain it.

Thanks for sharing your experiments!

Bwahahaha! I have this perfect visual of you and your man dressed in matching black outfits with matching berets and masks like the superheroes wore in "The Incredibles" sneaking your Vat Of Nasty. Sorry about the tree, tho!

I'm still going to work with fermenting urine, but will be far more likely to procrastinate now. Smells baaaaad.
