Fabric Dyeing
Simonne came to visit recently & she suggested using the stamens from these lilys as a fabric dye. I wrapped some in a piece of cotton sheeting .....put rubber bands around the bundle ......soaked it in water & left it to dry for a few days. When i unwrapped it the stains were clearly visible......i washed the fabric by hand .....hung it in the sun to dry.....
