Darryl: I hope you enjoy making "Botanical Colors". Fantastic for rainy day experiments
and every bit as much entertaining to forage for the supplies. Baby food jars are #1 for field testings.
Thanks. We have already converted a spare bedroom into a craft projects room some time ago but it turned into a ‘sling it in there and shut the door’ room, so it’s good to revive it. It’s East-facing with a large bay window for good daylight.
The thing is, as you well know i’m sure, dyeing can be a messy and smelly affair, so aside from making and painting things, the dyeing, making and doing process will need to be done in the garage, utility room or garden.
Dyeing and leathercraft has been on the horizon for some time, so it’s good to be on the ball this early in the year so that we’ll be making and doing from early Spring.
I’m going to change the planting in the raised bed I made in the garden, from veg to indigofera, woad, wattle and some other as yet undecided dyeing plants. We already have nettles and I don’t want to introduce them anywhere else and I don’t think Pomegranates would survive .
