Compost dyeing Results.

Does anyone remember my composting experiment in April. If not here is a picture of the fabric wrap ready for the ground.

I finally decided to dig it up today. First I had a hard time finding it. I knew where it was buried. Finally i sorted though the dirt with my hands and found this...

there was hardly any fabric left.

So i gathered my results and washed them and set them on a per towel to dry.

Any ideas on how to make a quilt out of this? Maybe something on deconstruction.

1st compost dye project

Not wanting to waste anything I decided to do a compost project with the grape hyacinth flowers strained from the dye.   Picked leaves and flowers from outside and placed them on a piece of fabric soaked in soda ash.








Then I sprinkled the grape hyacinth over it in clumps.  Next I sprinkled a bit of tealeaves.  I also added a rusty circle. ( had to bend it in half to roll up)

It was already turning a lovely shade of green.  I dug a hole next to one of my rose bushes and covered with leaf litter and dirt.  Now how long can I wait to dig it up.  (Hopefully til fall)

 Photographed so I would remember where I buried it -( in front of orange roses and paper whites)
