STRAWBERRIES
Materials:
½ cup strawberries
½ tablespoon aluminum sodium sulfate
2 cups water
Silk
Procedure:
First I mashed up the strawberries then I placed them with water into a pot on a heated hot plate the was very hot but not yet boiling. Then I added the mordant. Then I placed my Silk sample into the dye bath and let it soak in there for about fifteen minutes. Then I pulled my silk sample out and rinsed in with cool water.
Analysis:
The dye bath appeared to be red, similar to the color of the outside of the strawberries, but on the silk it dyed it a light orange color not found in a strawberry really.
