I often see indigo dyeing kits and think of your indigo experiment. It was so great. I do want to try dyeing stuff from my garden. I planned to plant a dye garden, in fact, but things came up and I just tended the plants I already had. A few of those would probably produce something, but I got lazy with the whole thing. <br />If I did dye naturally, I'd like to solar dye in old giant pickle jars I have in the garage. Solar dyeing seems most appropriate for lazy peeps. <br />I cannot wait to see more of your results. This one experiment gave you a gradient set! This sounds like a perfect side project in your line of work and with your adventurous spirit.

I'm so curious about everything now - I walk around staring at things wondering if they'd be a good dye plant. :DHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-57273541981441798522017-06-20T10:47:52.817-07:002017-06-20T10:47:52.817-07:00That is so damned pretty!

Ever since I was a little girl I've marveled at the bright juices coming out of cherries or beets, and I've wondered if I could dye my fabric with them! Very interesting post and I look forward to seeing your future experiments.Ladyfair Folk Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001702519107977233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843130514951400882.post-40491445387314624232017-06-20T03:32:33.874-07:002017-06-20T03:32:33.874-07:00Wow, fascinating!
