Dyeing with Mulberries

I did this a few days ago using the liquid strained from boiling up Mulberries. I place the liquid in my $5 (from the op shop) aluminium deep fryer, folded the silk scrap, tied it up with string and also put a copper pipe in the pot to also act as a mordant.

I tried another day with brilliant bouganvillia petals. This experiment was a dismal failure and doesn't warrent wasting a photo on the result.
