Sunday, February 10, 2008   is something I'm still not convinced
I need to be doing - but I'll answer Russ' question about
process. Very scientific, as you will see... I wrapped the silk
around a big, heavy, rusty grate, put it into a plastic trash
bag, dumped a bunch of vinegar on it (I wonder what red wine
vinegar would do?) and put the bag in a big green Rubbermaid
bin. Stuck it in the basement and forgot about it for about 3
days. Took it out, rewrapped it, put it back. Left it for
another day or two. End of story. No, I did not keep it warm -
although the lower level of the house is perfectly temperate. I
have no patience either, but I was so busy deconstructing my
kitchen drawers that I honestly forgot about the silk. Amazing!
Now I just have to figure out what the next step is.  1 comment:
