So once again I am preparing for my third annual dye day. Its a lot to do - I have about 7 dyes. There are only 8 or so adults coming this year. I'm glad for the volume break this year - usually its around 15 adults. There are always many kids. My sons love to show them around the pond/stream.
Here are my empty pots ready to be filled.
Here is all the dye that I boiled up over the past two years and stored in the freezer/ref.
This is a yellow flower that spreads out for acres here. The orange one is Marigold.
I found an amazing orange dye... Pear tree leafs! Crazy. Look at this color. The one on the right is Henna. Beautiful and filled with the essence of summer.
Have fun, can't wait to see all the photos. I wish I could be there! My daughter is doing natural dyeing as a 4-H project, she would have loved this.
