I'm not as motivated as I should be to get organized! <br /><br /><b>Valerie</b> - The cabbage dye bath is a beautiful shade of purple when heated and a lovely deep blue when it cools. I'm going to leave the fabric in over night, but right now, some looks blue, some purple.<br /><br />Less is more is a good way to look at the closets. Less stuff, more room!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-11704851228309924942012-01-02T21:48:35.748-06:002012-01-02T21:48:35.748-06:00I look forward to seeing your dye bath results.

This year I hope to live by a "less is more" theme and cleaning the closets is a good place to start!Valerie Kamikubohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864824409136614469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-78569149887324290662012-01-02T19:26:08.277-06:002012-01-02T19:26:08.277-06:00What a great post!

I'm hoping for that blue from the cabbage, too.<br /><br /><b>DebbyMc</b> - Oh, yeah, the closet thing. :( <br /><br />I'm soaking the silk in cream of tartar right now because I don't I don't have alum, and I'm hoping that adding aluminum strips to the bath itself will work. I'm using two books as guides, and India Flint often uses the pot itself as mordant; I've also read that adding aluminum foil strips to the dye bath will work. Shrug. I'll let you know!<br /><br /><b>Judy</b> - Thanks, Judy! I'm glad to have finally finished her! I think the red cabbage might work, but I haven't added the fabric to the cabbage dye bath yet. <br /><br />As for the grape juice,I want blue, not purple :). Been there done that! Now I buy white grape juice for the grandkids!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-79287773826656738802012-01-02T16:24:42.489-06:002012-01-02T16:24:42.489-06:00Love your newest dolly, Jenclair!
