lace, and just had to add a piece of old beauty ,too!!

On the other page I placed a skeleton leafe, and wrote a little text around it!

Costum ordered dolls- and my first try on Eco dying!!

First of all. I wish all my dear American friends a very HAPPY  FOURTH OF JULY !!!!

Have fun and take care !!!

********************************

And then to these two friends,  they are costum ordered, and will soon be going away with their new owner :-)

can you see they are on their way to a dance in the woods !!

I love the bright and sweet looking fairies, they alwayes have an extra

twinkle in their eyes-LOL

I am attending Roxanne`s http://rivergardenstudio.typepad.com/artimpressions/2013/05/nature-journaling-in-the-garden.html- and on her blog saw an exiting link to some Eco dying pages.

Please go and check out her beautiful blog!!!

I had to try, and from mugworth I made a bath, which gave me 

the most lovely fabrics in soft tones of rosa.

Look how beautiful.

I also tried some leaves which made this beautiful grey tones!

the "pattern" is from a few rusted keyes, I rolled into the fabric!

those are papers I boiled  after adding plants  inside the pages- here the mugworth- and 

some eucalyptus leaves...I love the print on the watercolour papers.

The brown page I only used mugworth and it did not give the same striking effect!

Although it also looks very special with the spots of dark ,which came from the clamps 

that closes the layers together ,before cooking them.

Here is some leaves print ,after trying to damp and cook,different ones!!

 It is so very exiting and very difficult to foresee

what comes from each  cooking ,so just to have try and try over again!!!

Goodnight for now ,---- wishes my blackbird and I-

can you you see he is singing a lullaby for you- :-)

I have to tell you that I am so very thankfull for all your dear comments ,both for my private life, and for my 

art pieces and happy playing with different medias,-THANKYOU -you are so lovely friends all!

Thankyou also new followers.- I can see that our Friends Connect is still there, but I guess

it will suddenly dissapeer , and I hope you will then all follow me on BLOGLOVING-I have 

the botton on the left side of my blog, on top of the page!!

With hugs and love

from Dorthe
