Mike Hills will present a program on herbal dye plants that he helped Jane Haynes prepare and present to the Herb Society of America Annual Meeting in 2006. Great details and information on the history of plants used for dyeing fabric, leather, basketry, etc. Many of Jane's beautiful plant-dyed samples will be on hand for discussion and observation. Jane has made a study of the colors that can be created from our Arizona garden and native plants, since she moved here in the 1970's. With the aid of mordants, and the proper natural materials, the range of colors available will astound you.

the soft green fabrics are from the (purple) lupine flowers (the linen on the bottom of the pile was beige to start). they are actually more green than shows here, i think. the yellow fabrics are from the lupine leaves. always a surprise to see what colours you get.
