Local Plants

I promised myself to try to dye some fabric using local plants while I was on holiday in the south of Italy.

I did some research on the internet about using eucalyptus leaves.

I did the right steps.

Collect the rain water.

Collect the leaves.

Some dried and some fresh, just to see what would happen.

Prepare the pot.

Cut up the fabric.

I had a perfect white, cotton dress
that I didn't wear anymore.

Boil 1hour and 15 minutes.

Sadly, it didn't go well...but the kitchen smelled nice.

Trouble shooting:
maybe needed more leaves,
maybe the plant wasn't the correct variety.

It was fun trying.
