just love all of your experiments. some terrific results. great idea with the shells.
Seashells huh? Nice :)
glorious!! i find myself wondering if you have something particular in mind for choosing rice vinegar over other vinegars?
rice vinegar is what I had (I use it pretty exclusively for food stuff. Sometimes I buy cheap regular vinegar--for dyeing--just didn't have any. Use what you got is my motto. Soon I'll reap the ripened berries of poke weed (I grow it in the very back of the tree garden spaces I ten at a local church, over the objections of some critical viewers who call it a noxious weed--ha--I'm of the opinion that all so called weeds can be useful. This one stays where I put it. Also growing wode for dye purposes...but in pots there.
HOLY MOLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
