Frost Moon cloth

November's full moon is sometimes called the Frost Moon. The contents of a hibiscus teabag were emptied onto a vintage cotton napkin, wrapped with mystery wire, covered with vinegar/salt water and left under the November moon. A mystery metal clamp was added for weight. It will be left to cure for several days and then rinsed and pressed. Patience, oh, patience --- then it will be opened...
