Nothing. Dammit. Three different colorants used on muslin and all of them bleached away to nothing except for the boiled blackberry dye. Boiled raspberry? Gone so far I couldn't even tell what it was without checking my notes. Turmeric disappeared even more. I'm pretty sure the only reason I could see the images at all is because the leaves had left an impression on the fabric. Now that the fabric is starting to relax from that impression, the images are almost totally gone.
Both these dyes (raspberry and turmeric) have worked on linen and raw silk, so I find myself wondering if maybe the problem isn't in the colorant, but the substrate.
