First go at dying quills..
« on: March 08, 2025, 01:12:11 PM »
Dying some quills to try a few hatbands for evening projects with my better half. I followed Stockmans advice and did kool-aid with vinegar.. Cheaper than rit dye, and while not HC, it looks pretty! After a little heat in the juice these are turning out well. Now to see if we can figure out the actual quillwork part!

Those are really pretty. I bet you get some really nice colored eggs at Easter time. Probably too pretty to peel and eat.
