Hi all, in case Skool didn't tell you yet, if you type "Let there be cat" in the search bar and click search, a lil' kitty will appear and if you click on him, you'll get a menu of music genres. You can also just pause the cat/music when you'd rather not listen. I'm a fan of "Lofi"

Today I did some eucalyptus dye tests. It smells so amazing when its boiling!! The color came out light brown, nothing very dramatic. So I added a few spoonfulls of alum to the dye bath and I also added a “tea bag” of honey locust seed pods to punch up the color. The 3 tests I made were the eucalyptus dye with added iron, added soda ash, and added lemon juice to see how changing the Ph shifts the color.

I worked with wild madder root for the first time today, which gave me such a pretty rosy pink. The green-yellow is from wisteria in my garden.
