My phone hates when colors are accurate to real life, sorry. But look ! Left is copper on blackberry, which is a beautiful deep maroon at the moment--still wet though-- (the rest of the willowed wool that had not yet been put on a distaff) and right is the dried wool from last night. It looks like a very pale green. I really want to see what happens when post mordanted with iron--but alas, I had to toss my homemade iron mordant in the move. So maybe I need to get some more going....
