Dorie I do believe that most eucalyptus do yeild color and that they have to be fermented, maybe Carol Lee can chime in on this one! I've seen some of her eucalytus pots in person one had a russett color the others were shades of purples. K-

The techniques many of us here use are definately "slow" methods if you have questions please ask.

Well here we are

I joined this site to learn and share more about natural plant and rust and mud dyes. And all the other dyes too.
