Not sure if it is going well.

 Yesterday I picked the lilly pilly berries and have tried them in the pot - for dyeing fabric.

I was a bit disappointed today as the fabric didn't seem to be very different and the water was not showing a lot of colour. 

However, the water that dripped onto the stove had colour!! So I am leaving the berries in the pot, with the fabric, and will look at it again tomorrow- it takes patience to be an artist!

However, I am supposed to see a circle of mordanted fabric in the piece I was given - not obvious so far. 

Tomorrow is another day. 

I have read several sites that say that the leaves can also be used. I haven't had the energy or time to play with the leaves but hope to do so in a couple of days. Hopefully, they will give some colour. I have a collection of small pieces of fabric that are collected for dyeing so will see if they can be used - I will need to remind myself of what they need in terms of mordant but hope that it will not be too complicated. 

I just have to remember what I used to know about mordanting fabrics - I am only trying to use natural fabrics: wool, cotton and silk. Not sure what I will do with them but that is not really important - I am hoping to be inspired to play a bit more.
