I didnt get much colour to speak of from the buds or the flowers but slicing off the bark thinly, not even with much of the inner yellow on it, then steaming them rolled in fabric gave brill results and Ive used the bark slither pieces 3 times so far.<br />The dye bath for those old doilies and lace were the actual remaining trunk bits chopped up and simmered for an hour or so. I think I dunked those fabrics in watered down soy milk drink first then dyed them in the dye bath, but salt water also worked fine too. The pot I simmered them in was steel.<br />I keep adding afew more chunks of trunk and bark and topping off with water. I still have leaves left, havent used them yet.<br />Do look at Shelaghs workshops, the TT one is excellant value and the newest mixed media looks fabulous, a fabric book and an altered book concurrently, ex cost too. Ive signed for that one too lolliniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082600701720985027.post-77516732858223801832011-05-07T18:55:02.072+01:002011-05-07T18:55:02.072+01:00Lyn, I love your rock-heart collection!

It's a feast, thank you for putting the photos up!<br /><br />The stitching you're doing -- I'll have to go explore over at Shelagh Folgate's place -- your pieces are beautiful, using the lace as foliage is genius -- is it dyed with mahonia yellow flowers cuz mine are about to go into bloom. Love your pins and your very sweet boys holding still so nicely for their photo, you've been busy -- those antibiotics must have caffeine in them.
