Yesterday I was kindly invited to join
a neighboring guild's natural dye day.
Kettle upon kettle simmering outside on a long row of open fire.
Wood smoke,
Steam,
Stirring brews,
Madder, Logwood, Osage, Onion Skin, Black Walnut,
Marigold, Goldenrod, Indigo, Cochineal,
and new things to try like
'Jewel Weed'..
!
Indigo pots yielding
blue locks !!
Rainbow of naturally dyed tea towels.
The lovely lady who dyed them
has plans to add embroidery.
LOVE these!!
Food, fun, and friends.
It was a most wonderful day..
Thank you to the Mercer Guild for hosting!
