The experimentation is just so much fun! My new indoor indigo vat is perfect.

Woohoo. This purple is awesome!! The only question is how lightfast it is. The color is so dreamy. You can't really tell from these photos. Also, it's not dry yet so it will be lighter. #logwood #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicalart

My experience with #madder root for dyeing has been less than satisfying. That's okay though. Live and learn. #botanicalart #naturaldye #botanical

I probably could have tried to do it myself, but I also could have made it worse. And it wouldn't look as nice. 😁

Two indigo pieces this weekend. Also, I washed all of my #sappanwood pinks and reds in the washing machine (on delicate) and they came out great. 👏👏👏

This was a white shirt until I dyed it with #goldenrod plants last month. Tonight, I overdyed it with #indigo, 4 dips. It will be lighter when dry and after I wash it again, but so far, I love it. #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicals

Working on a new dye color. Will take a couple days for results but I'm loving the potential.

I added more fresh #goldenrod to the dye pot. Then I experimented with pH and adding iron (which I created using rusty nails and such). The iron experiment netted a light olive green color. Pretty cool.

Went in search of goldenrod for dyeing, cooked it up, and got some beautiful color!
