I have enough Kino *eucalyptus sap* to divide it in half to test in two different ways.
1. sap in plain rain water
2. sap in rainwater with ammonia.
both colored beautifully but i did not get pictures before it got to dark i will get them tomorrow.
In plain water in five minutes i had a dark rusty red liquid
In ammonia water it went blood dark red.
I have alpaca soaking in plain water. I am thinking of soaking some wool as well.
the next question is what if any mordant.
I also have some bark soaking for dye, the liquid is almost black it is so dark. the previous experiment with bark was a light tan. The leaves gave me a rust to rival Robber.
Almost tempted to soak my hair in it to see what happens.
