Today we’re making the most of poppy season to create some beautiful colours on silk and cotton. With some extra wild flowers thrown in for good measure.

We are enjoying the spring season and it’s pretty mustard plants and flowers today. This plant was a joy to play with a gave us some true mustard tones on our fabric.

Join me and the girls for a fun afternoon of playing with onion skins, one of my favourite natural dyes to work with because they’re so available and so easy. Maybe there’s a new baby arriving in your universe? What a cute gift idea?

We get a lot of request for mordanting videos. so her's something to help you with using tannin and alum.

Bundle dyeing is one of the most fun and satisfying ways of using plant matter to transfer colour to your fiber. The results are literally pure magic and the nature of this process makes it perfect for professional projects or fun family activities.

Natural dyes are often described as “living colours” and it’s true. They have a charm and personality very unlike synthetic dyes with the much higher energetic frequency of life … and love if you’re into that kinda thing!

They are really easy to work with and non-toxic which is a big draw for a lot of people. They will never have the same permanence as synthetic dyes, they often change or vary over time, they are always dancing and they dance especially harmoniously together.

Bundle dyeing with plants can really open up your creativity. It encourages play and experimentation whilst deepening your relationship to nature and it’s alchemy.
