Mangosteen dye on cotton
I am so happy with the result on these 2 cotton shirts, dyed with
mangosteen skins by fermentation. The colour is so much darker than I
have ever achieved with the immersion method by boiling.
What an incredibly rich color! It's beautiful! I started to 'harvest' some of my elderberries yesterday, trying to beat the birds..... am going to try and do some fermentation dyeing with them soon!

Yes, it is, Julie. I love it. I am curious about your results.
