experiments with eco dye

beautiful color with boiled ferns from my garden and now hand embroidered in a free style!

these are some experiments with eco dyeing inspired by India Flint
the left one(silk) is made with boiled ferns and a printed leave from my garden
the other one's are made with boiled onion skins on poplin,cotton and silk.
after that the silk one is bundled with copper coins for one day.
