I do believe the process of tea staining requires more patience than I can muster. So while the "soups" simmered I decided to venture on into another aspect of my little project. This time, however, it involved a bit of deconstruction.
You see I wanted to inside scoop on how book pages stayed together.
Can you believe they are sewn?!!!
Yup, one little section at a time is stitch to another little section until you have a book. Of course by the time I was done figuring this out I had no more book left....
....so I made my first attempts at a new teeny tiny one!
Oh and one final word on tea staining...I'm done with it!
The green wool had a slight change after 3 days but not so much as to really make a difference.
And the red velvet....four days in and just as bright as ever!
I think coffee works better for staining. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteI could just kick myself in the pants for not thinking of that! Of course I'm going to have to try it now!
