Next I put the same leaves, the ones I had just put through the dye bath, in some paj silk and wraped the bundle.
I steamed said bundle for a few hours and then agonizingly waited till the next morning. I unwrapped like it was a christmas present and voila!
Then I got all excited and started to wonder what other colours I could find around my place. I got these wonderful oranges from the lichens growing on the tree out the front.

looks like you're having some fun there! you'll find there are eucalypts that will give the same colour as those lichens...best to harvest them in preference as Lichens are so slow-growing.
good luck
