Fiona, I too bought the Eco-print book and love it very much. I am not sure if I would be such a purist but still find it inspiring and fascinating. Thank you again for writing about it on your blog.
I like your stitch and dye experiment very much. It is exciting to see what other explore.
I have bought Wild Colour on Amazon marketplace.

hope it helps, her dies are made using leaves, bark, flowers etc. There is an elderberry die I have wanted to try for ages.

Let me know what you think!

I like you little experiments, especially the bottom one.

If you are interested in natural dies I have the most fantastic book that I really reccommend. It is called Wild Colour by Jenny Dean. It is now out of print but is so worth looking for on Ebay. It also has recipes for easy to make mordents usin nails and pieces of copper pipes etc. It is brilliant.

Glad to see you are still creating since I have been away, I wish I had your motivation! x x x x

thanks for saying nice things about my book…and think of the fun you could have with bundling seaweed around that beautifully stitched piece.
noting your stitch patterns in your journal is a REALLY GOOD idea.
best wishes

I love the look of your samples and wondered what you are going to dye them with.
I am glad that you like my blog and pop in to read. I hope it helps you to move to natural dyeing.

I really love the work you’re doing with the samples for dyeing and your sketchbook. Can’t wait to see the results when you start dyeing.
