There is some blue staining which is, presumably, coming from the flowers.
The flowers are starting to rot, which is putting some darker, murky colour onto the tapestry, I think. I am not sure if it will last if I ever decide to wash the tapestry. But it will be interesting to see.
There is still a month to go before I have to decide if I am going to enter it in the challenge. I'll wait and see what state it gets into by then.

Loving this experiement. I have visions of a curious and exciting coptic artifact emerging.... Yes I know but we do live in a world where time seems to be compressed! Have you added any extraneous minerals (ie iron, calcium etc) to the soils or water?
Thanks theregatha. No, I haven't done any of that, I am trying to just let the elements do the job - with a little help with the flowers. I suppose I could bury it again with some iron bits and pieces and see if rust happens. You have made me think about it! Still a few weeks to play. Must do so.
