Pansy Dye
Since May, I've been picking pansy flowers and saving them in the freezer. At first I kept individual colors in their own bags - purples and blues together, yellows and oranges in their own bags, etc..Lately, I've just been stuffing them all together so now I have to separate them.
A few fresh blue pansies for the brew
There are mostly purples and blues in this jar, but since I wasn't very careful. there are a few bits and pieces of pinks and yellow flowers
Yellows and oranges
To test the colors.I added a tiny scrap of mordanted silk organza to the yellow and a bigger scrap to the purple jar
Color spilling from the purple petals
The purple petals began to release gorgeous blue green color almost instantly
The yellow ipetals are taking a bit longer to release their color
Interesting that the color picked up by the silk is pale green, not purple or blue.
I'll leave these to soak a little longer.

Strangely, the dye isn't purple or blue - it's green.
