Tree Cloths

I am wrapping my 4 trees again. This time I want to encourage more staining on the cloth so i soaked 4 bed sheets in almond milk and left them outside to dry. Then I took them down to the sea.

Two lots of different pre-mordants should encourage the staining.

While I was laying the sheets in the sea and trying not to get too wet myself, 2 men watched while their dog ran for a ball. As I walked back up the beach to the car and passed them, one said, "We have to ask."

I said,"What do you think I was doing?"

"It is either science or art", was the answer.

I told them it was both.

Look how the waves wrapped the sheet into a cinnamon bun bundle.
