Beautiful photos by the way. Remember for greens always use the copper pot for the strongest greens. The eucalypts I used for my latest piece were boiled in a copper. I left the dye there as I thought I may need some more of that colour. The next time I used it the colour was decidedly more green. This is the way to get greens from the eucalypts I think. I saw somewhere that someone said to use the juice from a can of beetroot it is better than the beetroot itself! Haven't tried this myself yet but you never know.
