Foraging from the garden for my next natural dyeing experiment! #sxwforagedcolorGarden visitor. 🦋Building my natural dye stash! I oven dried my flowers because it’s been so humid here I was worried they’d mold before I was ready to use them. Now I’m off to learn about mordanting from the e-course by @smileandwave #sxwforagedcolorThis summer I’m super excited to explore natural dyeing. Step 1 - foraging for materials. ☑️Summer in the country... it doesn’t get much better than this.I celebrated the end of my week in the country by making these napkins using weeds from my mom’s stone terrace. I used my cyanotype skills that I learned from @emily_jeffords and @thecraftersbox and two of the cotton napkins from another of their kits. I love how they turned out! Basel kept coming back inside with these beautiful little branches stuck in his tail, and I just knew they’d be a gorgeous cyanotype. The finished napkins also kind of remind me of constellations. Is anyone else getting the astronomy vibe?About Me
