{{ #ecodyeing #solardyeing with my #camillia flower petals. }} #somepinkflowers 🌸 👋🏽☺️🌸 I have been #playingwithcolors by using the sun to #solardye bits of cotton. 🌸 This is fabric that marinated in a jar filled with filtered water & camellias I gathered in February. #spfcreates2015 #spfecodye🌱 #experimenting here so I don’t know how long this color will last. Still … #artistatplay 💕 #naturaldyeing (at Saint Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyC6ZrOeRh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

{{ #solardyeing with yellow #onionskins 🧅🧅🧅 }} #somepinkflowers 🌸 Yes, another reason to love #floridasunshine ☀️ 👋🏽😊🧅☀️ When I #ecodye with onion skins I just put the fabric right in there with the skins. 😀 This fabric is #artjournal fodder so the marbled effect is like icing on the creative*cake ‼️I let this bit of #cottonfabric rest in the onion bath for 5 days. 💛🧡❤️ I strained out the onion*water & put that jar in the fridge, then I filled up the jar again to see what I could get from the 2nd try. #spfcreates2015 🧅 #spfecodye🌱 🧅🧅 #naturaldyeing 🧅☀️ #naturaldyersofinstagram 💕 It’s always something over here. 💕I recycle EveRyThiNg 🧅🥑🌻 (at Saint Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaS3AgkOR7j/?utm_medium=tumblr

One had an almost invisible ~floral design~ printed on it. 🌸 Love how the printed design stayed white whilst the background drank up the #blue . #colorextraction is my jam these sunny days. 🌼🌻🌺🌸 (at St. Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXpPaZAXIF/?utm_medium=tumblr

{{ #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 ?

{{ Right out of the #solardyebath :: #raspberry #ecodye #solardyeing with mashed raspberries and even though I know the color 💕 will fade & change after the paper & fabric dries, my heart said, “Show it anyway.” 🌸 }} #somepinkflowers 🌸 Because I wanted you to see it now & after it dries we will look again. 👋🏽😊 🌸☀️ #spfcreates2015 🌸 #spfecodye🌱 #happyscientist 🧫 #allabouttheprocess Because I use my experiments in my art journals I’m not overly concerned about longevity of color. 🌸 I’m pleasantly surprised sometimes how certain extracted colors last & last. 💕🌸 (at St. Augustine, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQR2FGCgIyL/?utm_medium=tumblr
