KnitPicks Dye Your Own. Alum premordant. Self striping, dyed with Tansy and wild purple Bee Balm, in an iron pot.
i went camping over the weekend with matt and bert out at eagle lake near susanville, ca. i took a bunch of photos on the trip so keep an eye out for more to come.
Ta da! And, almost exactly as I envisioned it. At this point all it needed was hemming of skirt & sleeves, and pressed. I was very pleased with the finished product, the only change I would have made, had I looked beyond the original pattern's design, is to narrow the portrait neckline to not be so wide/low. Still, it was beautiful, and hindsight is 20/20.

Our little wine and cheese party in the dye shed to celebrate the end of the session. Barbara's husband played guitar for us. We shared the evening with the other textiles class led by Joan Morris.
Pokeberries are poisonous, but they can be crushed to produce a very strong magenta dye.
I have not yet tested Pokeberry dye for anthotypes.
I'm apparently a direct descendant of this woman who was hanged in the Boston Commons for defying a law banning Quakers from entering the Boston Colony.
Not been out and about much so thought I'd try some stuff indoors. Just messing around with food dye. Didn't have the set up quite right this first time of trying, will hopefully do better next time!
