the mighty oak...

and it's acorns gives wonderful color on cloth. I used the bottom of a white cotton shirt, folded in thirds and secured over a jar lid with a wide rubber band. The cotton was soaked in soy milk for a couple of days, then secured to the jar lid and boiled in oak leaves, acorns and left over liquid from avocado skins for about one hour.  I left it in the liquid over night. It has been washed and just lost some of its color.

all supplies from the backyard and the kitchen

turned out better than I expected since it's cotton. I think the soy milk helped.
