Usually I am fully engaged with my own projects and don't spend much time playing around but Jude's experiments with pomegranate and walnut lit my fire. I liked her results so much I reached for my stash of scraps and copied what she did as closely as I could. I found an old Sanka can and wrapped a length of mordanted (alum acetate) linen/silk around it, incorporating circles cut out of madrona leaves and tied it with string. I used madrona leaves because they are very sturdy and I thought they would hold up well. Also, the madrona tree is between the house and the studio, so they were handy. I also rolled other fabric pieces around some rusty wire and re-bar and put everything into a bath of pomegranate and walnut extracts. It simmered for a couple of hours and cooled overnight. The madrona leaf circles were a happy surprise. I was just hoping for a resist effect but I got a clear true yellow that penetrated more than one thickness for an interesting double effect. So, moons and moon shadows...
