Busy in the Studio

Natural Dyes. Picking the odd flower from the garden and using it as a source to dye the fabric and paper I will be using in my project Fragments. I'm not sure how they will be used yet, I may well incorporate them into some of my printwork or play on the fact they are fragments, I think the best thing for now is to keep them all together and see how the colours play with each other.

Experiments

Copper and Elderberries I was very lucky to receive from Alice Fox her wonderful Book Natural Processes in Textile Art: from Rust Dyeing to Found Objects www.textileartist.org/book-review-natural-processes-in-textile-art-by-alice-fox , this book is not only very informative and beautifully written with some amazing photographs but gently guides you through the process of mark making using so many objects you would just walk by or not even think would be capable of dyeing paper or fabric.
