In not-so-recent dye baths, I included a wool scarf for a friend.
I love the way it turned out. I hope she will too. I bundled up E Scoparia leaves and some windfalls from a tree I think might be E Nicholii. It branches (what I mean is it that it has been brutally pruned) very high so these windfalls gave me leaves to try that I otherwise could never reach.
Love the string resist marks…
Then I returned to the E Cladocalyx bark I harvested weeks back which has been steeping.
Calico mordanted in soy and lots of clamping was the choice of the day.
The wet fabric next day (I know, patience is the dyer’s friend, but my friend was out for the day).
I do especially love the buds!
The overall effect… suggesting my fold-and-clamp technique may require more practice!

It’s turned out beautifully – I love the buds. I would be very happy with those results.

Thanks! They are darling buds, indeed!

looks good to me, even if they’re the darling buds of September (which, given the hemisphere the original was written in, kinda fits)

Thanks! Clearly the darling buds of May are some others….

How lovely, the scarf is beautiful 🙂 I am currently sitting in an art room up a mountain, surrounded by clouds, wearing a jumper that holds the memory of buds just like those.. and still smells of eucalyptus! What fun I had in Adelaide 🙂
