Red Cabbage

I washed out the red cabbage mold-dyed piece today. It's not as exciting as I had hoped, and yes, it has a few holes in it. I think holes are just going to have to be part of this work. After two-and-a-half months, the red cabbage was surprisingly still mostly intact -- not a lot of mold. It's a big piece -- 36" x 48".



When you look at it closely, there are some areas that are pretty.



I've also been using natural dyes to color canvas for the backing of the red onion and orange pieces. Left to right, these are dyed with yellow dock root, yellow dock root with iron, and nettles with iron and copper.



I want muted colors so that the colors of the mold-dyed pieces stand out.
