Can’t describe the thrill it gives me in words. To look for plant material just outside my building and let it do it’s magic and become an incredible color in fabric. I call this my ‘scarf project’..it involves experimenting with plant materials for these past two years and looking for the perfect fit with the fabric. I am still making up my mind wich fabric, silk or a very thin cotton, i will be choosing for the scarf’s. They ultimately will be all solar dyed with multiple layers of color, that’s why it takes so long, two years!...this is truly called slow dyeing :)
I am looking forward showing you all the pictures I made in the past couple of dye sessions. The subject of solar dyeing is super photogenic, I love all the photos (and dye)results..
Here are some sample pots with various plants..
