Mexican Elderberry leaves....the summer after the hard winter. and all is well
these pics are particularly for Helen Lee/Buzz and Drucilla who might use their Elderberry for their Diaries cloths?
the light here has such a mind of it's own...
all cloths are the same original larger piece, torn. muslin. just wetted and pushed into pots of Elderberry leaves, local water to the top. steeped in the desert sun one week, some evaporation.
on the left a green that doesn't jump out here, but is green nonetheless, and always consistent from a copper pot.
middle, in the aluminum pot.
right from the rusted cast iron pot ........ which in the first few days was a dusky pale violet color. maybe i'll take it out at that point with the next batch that i'll start tomorrow?
