The beginnings of some experimentation with the dyeballs! Found 3 suitable friends in the park this morning and heres a look at the prepping process.

I used only one for this first test (2nd photo) using them fresh. The rest will be dried and tested in future experiments. They were thinly sliced and any excess spore powder on the older one was cut away. Its the black colored flesh around the peridioles (the lil yellow bits, they're like packets where spores are produced) that imparts the pigment. Then they were simply boiled in 4 cups of water!

I'll post updates on how the tests go and give details on fabric types and timing!!
