The maroon tones look like flowers. My experiments did not go quite as well. I will be posting them soon, after I fiddle with the size (the pics are huge).

An oblique history of dye because the first chemical ones were literally deadly: “The Poisoner’s Handbook” by Deborah Blum. Her other book on the history of the FDA is “The Poison Squad” (do you see a trend). Anyway, it turns out the wife of the guy who essentially created the FDA was freaking awesome. It is non-fiction books like these that made me give up on fiction.

I have a Threads Archive USB. It allowed me to create a PDF of that entire issue, which was 30 MB. I “printed” the pages to another pdf file, and I shall email it to you. Made easier with our new usernames being our email address. 😉
Oh, I also have the actual magazine, though its location is a mystery.
Have fun with the lace, Chris
