DYE JOB

this lovely virgin velvet ribbon was a gift from the woman who i have been getting all my beautiful ribbon from.....it is just begging for color

i've never dyed velvet before.... today i experimented with a couple of teas and juice


YERBA MATE turned it a lovely pale yellow



INDIA SPICE CHAI.....a soft golden color




GRAPE JUICE....beautiful muted purple









next i think i'm going to try coffee and some sort of red berry juice....
