Too Good to Use? Exploring Eco Dyed Fabrics & Garden Plants




Have you been sitting on your creative projects?  Maybe you have tools, supplies, or even beautiful pieces you’ve already created, but you’re “saving them for best”? I know that feeling well and am there too!

Recently, I got all excited about starting some solar dyeing (which I am still going to do), but in the process, I almost forgot about the eco dyeing projects I had already worked on and the joy I found in creating them. 

Hand Dyed Fabric 

Do you have fabrics you’ve dyed that feel too good to use because the colors or patterns you created can’t be repeated? That’s exactly where I’m at. I have a box full of fabrics that I hold up and admire now and then, but I never use them in my creative projects… until now.

So in today’s Material Musings, we’ll:
  • Explore some of my favorite past eco dyeing projects.
  • Take a walk through the garden to identify potential plants for solar dyeing.
  • Open up my stash of “saved” fabrics and bring out some stamps to play and experiment. 
It’s all about remembering the joy of creating, exploring what’s possible, and actually using what we make. Will you join me?
