Hands On Craft silk scarf Dyeing

So I went to a Silk Painting with Natural Dye Extract at Hands on Craft with Linda Hartshorn.

I do alot of dyeing, with acid dyes, painting and Immersion. I haven't done alot of natural dyeing except some mushrooms and lichens. So it is refreshing ot see a new view og thigns.

We used fustic, Brazilwood, Logwood, Cochineal, Madder and Indigo.

Linda Brought in some of her samples that she has woven. I for got to take a picture of the pleated one




It was fun Velma was there and Kristy



Then there were mine. We have to wait for a month then wash them. But I might steam mine
