This is a test. I read that fermenting lichen in ammonia for about six months creates a natural fabric dye that doesn't require a mordant. This is actually test 2, since I tried to precipitate the dye out of test 2 and ended up making poison piss instead. Colours range from yellow to red to purple depending on the process and type of lichen. I don't know lichens, so I just threw whatever in there and hoped for the best. You can see the ammonia turned very dark, so I think it worked. TBD if it actually dyes, I'm waiting till it's warm enough to open a door before I start boiling ammonia in my kitchen. |
