Yesterday was Isabella’s last day as our intern. We will miss her so much! Also, she spent most of the day cooking up our grey from Spring 12. Once we were in the kictchen we experimented with the same dye but a different mordant. By pure chance we ended up with one of our new Fall 12 Colors: Berenjena! Below is the entire proces.
