I had an ounce of logwood powder sitting around for some time, and decided it was high time to do something with it. Friday night (1/1/2016), I mixed the logwood powder with some water, and then decided that more water would be better. I moved it to a larger mason jar, and added just boiling water, some vinegar, and it's been sitting ever since. Tonight, I hope to remember to start mordanting some wool and see how the logwood dyes up.
I've been informed by Ian the Green (or Grene)'s wife that I will look like I have blood on my hands. I'm rather excited about that. For some reason, dyEing is more fun when it's messy and leaves your hands different colors than they started.
Which reminds me that I need to move the blocks of ice that are the walnut extracts I have outside so they can thaw and I can use them. If I do it tomorrow, I might have enough to bring to a demo on Wednesday.
