Hello..am feeling better today, so off we go!
The first image is a Kilna jar full of flowers from the Quince bush...at the moment it is looking quite interesting!


This next images are the results from my mixed Eucalyptus leaves dye and boil. A few years ago l was given a few yards of white wool material, that had been destinted for the Land Tip! This lady used to be able collect (save) a lot of this type of "stuff" but now this is not allowed or so l am told...what a shame and a waste of good materials. So much for going Green! 




This is a piece of silk put into the Eculyptus leaf boil, really like the overall colour coverage and the depth of colour.
Love the colours from the same dye bath this time cottons and mixed fibre "Stuff".
I love the way the colour has taken to this old piece of originally white cotton. The thread is not cotton, so took the dye diffently. Love the effect.
