#solardye

Some solar dyed linen patches I sold at a market over the summer.

{{ #mashed #crepemyrtle and #plumbago #blossoms each in her own mason jar, added filtered water & sat them in the sun #solardyeing with prepped #cotton }} #somepinkflowers 🌸 No iron*water used. Just time in a jar. 👋🏽☺️🌸 Love #playing with #naturalcolor from plants in my own yard. #solardye ☀️#ecodye ☀️ #ecodyeing bits of cotton scraps #formyartjournal 🌸 Love these #happyexperiments 💕 Took about 5days for the plumbago to give a light green so I waited longer. I used only the blossoms & no green matter in the process. #spfcreates2015 🌸🌿 #spfecodye🌱 What’s next ?

The joy of experimenting is tweaking the process and improving the outcome. In my second attempt of #wetcyan and #solardye on vintage embroidery, I took things up a notch.
