Anyway, before the baby wakes here is a spot of dyeing that I did recently on a silk shirt that I chanced upon at the Melbourne Suitcase Rummage. I finally got those Silver Dollar Eucalyptus leaves to pay out their red orange tones and I love the result.
It's amazing what a few leaves, a handful of rusty nails, some string and a little water can do. I've run into two of my fellow Beautiful Silks India Flint workshop companions in the past month in Melbourne and on both occasions we have all by chance been wearing eco-dyed silk garments. Thank you India for your inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be back, it's been a while. That FB group is so inspiring, I just thought, I'll post one of the tops I dyed to get me back blogging as I took a long break! It's hard to keep up but so great to see everyone's beautiful work.
