we had already tried Viburnum Tinus (aka laurestine)
almost exactly a year ago. We went to pick some by the end of November, at the very same place as last year.
we used the same technique, the same mordant, but we did not use the iron bucket. Did it change something, I don't know. Most probably. Here are the results :
I think the results (and even the phases during the process) look like a lot of the dye with phillyrea angustifolia.
Such beautiful colours.
ReplyDeletethat's turned out really lovely :-)
ReplyDeletecall me old-fashioned but it looks to me as though the colours turned out quite differently...both lovely
ReplyDeletethis one makes my heart melt
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference the iron makes. I think this year's batch is prettier.
ReplyDeleteAll your work is so so beautiful... Incredible natural hues, and lovely styling.
