agrestic/ earthy and fungal odors (odours)

January 16, 2008

Hi fellow NPrs. Kind Greetings

I have been organising my studio quietly these last days... still lots to do

but making headway.... and as I am doing I occasionally stop to stick my nose

into a tincture that is ageing or a blend that I am working on..... such

olfactory delight with the botanicals.

What was a complete surprise and was not expecting it and tied in with Lynn's

post Tuesday on agrestic odours... last year I had collected from a semi-

ancient woodland some leaf mould and thought I would have a go.... it is about

a year old now... and I thought about 6 months ago that nothing was

happening...just some old brown mulched leaves mixed in with alcohol which I

nearly threw away ... !!

Well I unscrewed the lid.... and OMG there is definately the signs of an

earthy odour starting to emanate from the tincure.... thrilled! .... When the

weather is a little more clement I shall go up again and replenish the tincture

with fresh after carefully draining the old stuff from it.....

There is signs of promise here..... goes to show.......time and slow creation

works its

miracles.

Every good wish, Janita
