Each composition is made up of fabrics that were in the same dye pot. The differences in the tones are due to the different fabrics I put into the pot. I love these subtle “colors”. The yellows were from woad plants. The browns were from green persimmons over dyed with indigo. I especially find myself liking things that have almost no color at all. One of these is from oak galls. I can’t remember all the specifics but I like to put dyed fabrics in a bath of iron water to “sadden” the color.
Wow, Peggy, you have been working! I hsve lots of rusty nails I will save for you.
I’ll treasure them!
these are all great. What do you plan to do with them?
I think of them as art.
Beautiful variety of color. Subtle, subtle.
These are so raw and subtle-It’s interesting to see how varied they are and the surprises when it’s not controllable are always a joy I think.
These are stunning. You’ve inspired me to learn how to do natural dyeing. Thank you.
Totally love them!!!!!
