Nearly three weeks ago l wrapped up a full length linen coat, a cotton top and a linen apron shirt, using Eucalyptus leaves. It was the first time l had really done big pieces and it was not easy but l enjoyed the challenge. I put the bundles in the cupboard in the bathroom, that has a hot water pipe running through it. So just a slightly warm space. Managed to forget about them until just over three weeks.. found them covered in mould! So unwrapped, scapped of leaves and most of the mould and then put through the washing machine. Very pleased with the results.
This is the long jacket.
The next image is of a piece l finished a week or so ago. I really am in love with this piece and have decided to add it to another skirt in the next day or so, as a piece of decoration.
Night all!
