This past summer we had an eco dye workshop at the home of Phyllis Spriggs who has a wonderful dye garden. This is something many of our members were eager to try. (Notice I didn't go for the obvious "dyeing" to try - lol)
In the first photo, Phyllis embellished the resulting print with embroidery. The second image is
my first attempt and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and will be thinking of planning what flowers to plant next Spring to be able to continue.
The last photo was taken at our Christmas market and shows the range of beautiful colors and prints
on the silk scarves that Phyllis had for sale.
This works beautifully on watercolour paper as well as silk fabric.
