Leafy

One of my latest dye experiments, these were dipped in iron water before bundling, I learnt this technique from reading Fabienne's words. https://www.facebook.com/FabienneRey
I have also dyed some clothes will post some photos once I have ironed them, I am very happy with the 
results. Oh dear funny typing again.

  2. Debbie, this is really stunning! Do you mean water with rust in it? I have spent some time doing rust dyes by wrapping rusted metal in fabric, and I love the surprise element of that. This also reminds me of leaf and flower pounding, but I don't think the result of that would be as lasting.

  4. I like the way iron water adds a sense of depth of chiaroscuro to the material
