  3. This is just beautiful. I'm collecting avocado skins to try it myself. How did you keep them from molding?

    1. Oh yes! Avocados are brilliant at producing mould. I used the skins within one two days of eating the avocados and have frozen another batch to see if this is a reliable storage method. I also found that by cutting off the air supply to the dye I have manages to keep a dye pot mould free for over 2 months ... I dread to think what it smells like :)). Have fun! Kate
