Natural dyeing
experiments with plants
It’s
pouring today, nothing extremely bad, just familiar Lithuanian July.
Few
days ago I was deeply fallen in natural dyeing with plants.
Many
beautiful flowers and plants I collected in the meadows around our house.
Here I want
to show some examples of felted handbags and boots.
It was so interesting to experiment with natural dyes.
The boots were dyed with Black Alder (lot. Alnus glutinosa)

The tiny purse is so comfortable to wear. I can’t be unnoticed in the street. The surface is so vivid, colors are bright and natural. Just as I like. The purse is dyed with tutsan (lot. Hypericum perforatum).
And some unexpected pretty spots on the back surface, that I like most (it's a pity they are not on the front...)
