Solar Dyeing

Trying my luck to-day with a little solar dyeing. Easy peasey! just put your choosen flowers, leaves or other into a glass jar fill with (rain water if you have it) tap water. Place your piece of fabric inside with the flowers and water screw on the lid and leave in the sun for at least a month….let the magic begin.

 

About woolbrain

My current focus is working with natural dyes, local and traditional to create unique colour and patterns on cloth and paper. I have been inspired by others over the years, using local flowers, bark and leaves. The process is quite simple but the results are always varied which in turn makes the process exciting.
