no ugly color
Just wanted to display here two photos I've been taking recently, and that fill my heart with happiness. Since I've started dyeing with plants, I've become more & more aware that there is NO ugly color. Even a soft, subtle, washed, fainted, weathered, even slightly muddy or dusty color, can be very charming & interesting, on its own, or mixed with other naturally dyed (or natural, earth friendly -linen, hemp etc-) fibers.

I am now extremely looking forward to be using all of these delicious fibers !
Beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteI love how natural colours work so well together - thanks for sharing your inspiring photos x
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! No ugly colours, but a whole new world of nuances. (Ah, come to think of it, theres has been a time or two ... but that was probably because I made a mistake)
