Years ago we had to have a stone garden wall demolished so I picked off lots of the lichen first and dried it. I still have some of the wool I dyed with it and it still smells fabulous. It never seems to lose that gorgeous licheny scent. Mmmm - makes you think of damp forests after rain.<br />goldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770495557282483217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-55455220828040035382013-07-03T00:58:52.185+02:002013-07-03T00:58:52.185+02:00You sound like me..."I feel like I've che...You sound like me..."I feel like I've cheated because I didn't grow it or scavenge for it..."<br /><br />Here's one for you to try...if you haven't already...and I have to admit, I'm just now for the first time looking at your blog.

Save it up...unless you are lucky enough to hit the lichen lottery first time out. Spin-off ran an article on "how to" dye with it. Unbelievable color. I've yet to try it, though an enterprising friend did. Oh. WHAT a color!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
