sorry for the silliness but i just so happened to have some extra natural wooden eggs to throw into the indigo pot last thursday evening
along with more stones, fabric and clothing
not all of this was dyed with indigo but I will explain more when I show you some close ups and images of my dye journal later on
for now just some natural dyeing eye candy
that would be peonie petals solar dyeing this week as part of the 100 m dyeing project
i also have dandelions, magnolia petals, maple flowers, horsetails and forget me nots brewing
