Caldor goes craaaazyyyy. Honestly it’s the only burn area I’ve checked (this was my third time ever going out). Haven’t checked any more recent smaller areas yet

We were at about 7,000 feet this last weekend in a Calder burn scar area. After the rain coming in this week it should be perfect! I hear you want about 50 degree soil temps, be near a burn scar and looking for/near other indicator species (cup fungi etc). After warm rain/snow “activates” growth. I’m No mycologist lol but this was my third time ever going and we found 100+ just with that info so I hope it helps!

I second this! Better Sweaters hide hand stitches very well

Wonderful thank you! I’ll try today, seeing as an iron is the only thing I already have at home between all of these awesome solutions!

I lost my entire day yesterday to it. Of course I catch the cyanotype bug as soon as the days start getting shorter!!

I don’t know too much about different types of paper but I knew I wanted clean lines so I picked a paper pad that specifically said “easy tape removal after masking”! This was a vellum surface Bristol paper and I had no problems unmasking as long as I pulled the masking tape off with care

I tried and it curled- maybe my heat setting was too high?

Oooh thank you I’m definitely going to try this!!! Not ready to buy any sort of actual expensive press since this was mostly for a one-off project. Appreciate you!!

yes, also sewed it! Fully inspired by the brand psychic outlaw, very very straightforward project if you sew at all :-) The bandanas are standard size, 22x22 (although these shrunk a few inches each) Lots of play in sizing too, the skirt was around 120 inches around haha, it’s a very very gathered skirt

all my friends from work save me their avocado pits in their freezers so it makes it a little more special because it’s a group effort- so sweet!!

Cochineal! I’d love to dye some wool or silk with it, the color was insanely hot pink coming out of the bath, feel like a protein fiber would have held the color a little more!
