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.
