Dye Session 2 in Progress

 




Tried to do an ombré sharbori thing, but I accidentally used walnut instead of the logwood. I also tried putting some nails in one of the pieces, I folded it a few times before I put the nails through. I also had the stove on low and let them sit in the pot at least an hour, would have done it longer but I started kinda late....
