You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Lichens give some glorious colours, surprisingly unexpected too. Can't remember the mordant combinations but I suspect alum would be worth a try. Though recently I came across an artist who soaks her cloth and yarns in soy milk first and then into dyestuff. I was tempted  but decided I have quite enough obsessions to be going on with, going back into natural dyes is not going to be one of them.

Btw, watch out for lichen, some of them are very rare, extremely slow growing and on the edge of extinction, sadly. I suspect those are the ones that produce lavender tones on silks...

My main aim for end of life is to have at least 3 bank managers crying at the funeral.

That was one of my thoughts when I signed up for multiple student loans ten years ago. The thought of negative $26k being part of my legacy to Studylink warmed my leftist cockles.

Regrettably I have managed to reduce that somewhat, but with luck it won't ever be completely wiped out.

I haven't looked recently but I'm fairly sure mine's more than that. 


Mainly due to Studylink being total bastards back then, possilby they've improved but grandson says not...so I wish them good luck with my legacy.
