What's more fun than a duel between two similar dyes?
This group of kids was tasked with coffee and tea. Starbucks graciously donated their used coffee grounds for our experiment, but--holy smokes!!!--we had no idea about the size of the bounty!
The kids had fun dragging and carrying their haul to the car.
Once home, we set to work. It was a match between generic black tea...
...and high-end coffee (a coffee so rich and creamy, so warm and inviting, I would frequently pause to inhale that delicious, robust smell--unlike the wretched cabbage from the day before).
Add the alum mordant...
... and then the fabric...
...and wait overnight to see the results.
