I like to tea dye fabrics to pull them down just a bit. White can be clean and refreshing but when you are dealing with witches and their aprons and purses they prefer a bit of the old, decrepit, been-in-the-attic-forever look.
Sometimes it is really nice like the skulls and sometimes it just tones things down like these leaves.
You never know what it will look like and that adds a bit of mystery and excitement to the whole process.
At least for me
