So of course I sit down to nurse the baby and update how the tea dye experiment turn out and the digicam is across the room. Rowan is almost asleep, so I'm not going to get it, I 'll have to add the photo later.

Anyhow, the tea dye worked, sort of. I got sort of a light tan with some darker spots. I think it is just easier to use Procion, but in a pinch tea will work. If I ever do it again, I'll use many, many more tea bags (i only used 3 big ones...)

I'll add a pic later, if I remember.
