Tree bark and cranberries!

Hello folks. l have been having a housework day today..yuck! But to cheer myself up, l also did some dyeing and some unwrapping.
The image below is of a kilna jar full of boiling water and the bark from a Paperbark Maple Tree. It is a beautiful tree, very colourful and the bark feels like papyrus paper.

The next results from my Eco dyeing are from Cranberries! I put the berries in a jar and then covered them in boiling water and left them to "cook". Then a few days later l put a few pieces of cotton and let them "stew"! And here are the results after a long wait.

This is the result on silk.

Then this piece of silk was wrapped round an old iron nail.

I was really pleased with the colour from the cranberries.
