Natural Dyeing

Description
One of my hobbies is playing around with natural dyes - extracting from various materials and then dyeing cloth. There are 3 things you need to extract natural dye - dyestuff, heat, and water! (Well and a pot to hold it all!)

I took pictures of a water droplet on my table cover, plus cloth in the pots full of water and dye.

I started out with a layout template from The Past is Another Country by Lynn Grieveson and Rachel Jefferies and rearranged a bunch of the elements. Then added in a few additional embellishments and some background paper from Hear My Voice: Questioning, also by Lynn Grieveson and Rachel Jefferies.

How cool is this! Love this, Jocelyn, and the photo of the water droplet is spectacular! What a great macro photo! What a neat hobby of dyeing cloth! Glad you are enjoying your new hobby. I love how you have scrapped it here with the calming natural tones in the papers and elements. Well done!
 
This is so cool!! I love learning about new things and your photo of the water drops is fantastic! So beautifully scrapped!
 
What an interesting thing to learn! I’m curious what you do with the things that you dye. I love this interesting take on the challenge and especially the photo of the water droplets!
 
As for what I do with the dye samples...well, I need to start using them lol! I'm doing #the100dayproject focusing on embroidery and hand stitching so that I can start doing things with these samples. I have some fabric book/mixed media ideas in mind.
