scattered in the leaf litter ...
beneath the live oaks ...
It was easily gathered ...
then laid upon Mo's satin pennon ...
which was folded over ...
rolled and bound ...
Layered above and below with more lichen-clad twigs, which will provide tannin ...
then covered in boiling tap water and left to steep, the heady fragrance of rain-soaked woods drifting from the pot ...
The hardest part will be the waiting.
Addendum:
A sneak peek ...
So far, the cotton tie is picking up more color than the satin.
