Red roses

+ a stained, yet in good condition t-shirt

 + rusty bits [of course]

 + more rose petals

+ 300 lb watercolor paper

and more rusty bits

= 2 bundles of paper and 1 of cotton.

Submerge the small bundle in the cauldron,

add a few more rose petals

 then put the larger paper bundle in

and add more rose petals [of course].

 

Don't forget the t-shirt...it yearns for a new life.

Oh! And a plumb bob for weight.

{Thanks for the idea Pam!}

 Top it all off with...what else?...more rose petals

and 2 more plumb bobs, just because.

Put the lid on the cauldron, 

set the heat to low and walk away. 

Try not to get too curious throughout the day. 

Lifting the lid too often may just hinder things.

I'm wondering when my little urchins are going to realize 

that the roses have disappeared from the kitchen counter.
