Just before the snow came, Tony and l went down to the South Coast to visit my parents. While we were there l collected some seaweed, stones and shells to use in my dyeing experiments.
I need to find some iron to add to my dye pot...so in went my old doorstop!
The witch's brews as my husband calls them. The yellow is chrysanthemums petals, the one next to it is a pepperment teabag, the one behind is tea, then there is the jar containing the water from a metal/rust boil and the last one is water from Eucalyptus dye.
White onion dye.
Some of the seaweeds l collected.
Seaweed experiments!

I love the photographs of your dye pots; isn't there something magical about natural ingredients and a boiling pot? Can't wait to see the results.
