Day 9.
Natural dye experiment.
Cost: $4.75 for 1.5 lb beets and white t-shirt
Time: 2 hours
Headspace: I was never able to get the red right, but it was a worthwhile experiment anyway. I abhor the idea of wearing gross chemicals, so why not try something a little safer on the water runoffs?
(For the curious, I soaked the beets overnight, boiled them for 30 minutes, and then transferred into a larger pot to soak my fabric. Added the cooled dye solution and added more water to allow the fabric to soak. Low boil for another hour.)
(Also, apologies for next day posting; my internet was being bitchy last night)
