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

I love those Midsummer Night's Dream fairies - I'm sure they will be so much loved.

Dorthe- they are so lovely--who could not love the vibrant happy colors!!! They will be loved in their new homes-- you are a master at creating these amazing dolls!
Your Eco dyes are just gorgeous-/ I had no idea that could be done. The colors are so soft and pretty. Can you do that with ribbon??? Oh my- I'm totally impressed girlfriend!!
I bet your yard and garden is so beautiful right now-- in your lovely little cottage by the sea--

Oh Dorthe, your eco-dyed laces and papers are beautiful! (I don't know what mugworth is but it sounds very Harry Potterish to me!
I love the colors you have achieved. And your sweet dolls are adorable. Thank you as well for your link. I just had another person sign up last night!
Have a beautiful weekend...

Oh Dorthe your art dolls are such a delight, I can really imagine them dancing in the fairy wood under the Scandinavian midnight sun....
I absolutely love the effects of your natural dies, both on the fabric and the paper.... I used to plant die wool many years ago but never had the idea of trying it on fabric and paper, the effects are amazing and I am very much inspired now to try it. Thank you for that.
Good night dear Dorthe and your blackbird photo is amazing too!!
Darling creations Dorthe! What a lucky person to get one of your custom dolls!
That dyeing looks so neat; I love the patterns and colours! I shall have to check out that link!
Hi Dorthe,
I love your sweet fairies, the dyes make them even more special. Your talent amazes me!

Уау, колко са цветни, весели и лятни куклите ти Дороти:)
Обичам горските ти феи и приказни създания.
Винаги успяваш да ме изненадаш с публикацията си и да науча нещо ново в техниките, които изпползваш.
Поздрави и хубав уикенд от мен.
Dorthe, I ADORE your sweet fairy girls! I really do see a twinkle in their eyes...simply magical! xoxo
Your fairies are so beautiful, I am sure their new owners will be thrilled. I love the results of your eco dyeing. You can achieve some lovely results with natural dyeing, I have tried a small amount but I am keen to do more. Have you seen the work of India Flint, I was lucky enough to get her Eco Dyeing book for Christmas.
Dorthe your eco dyed laces and papers are gorgeous.
ihh jeg elsker altså at kikke ind forbi dig dine dukker er helt fantastiske og de farver du har brugt her. Waue..
Oh dear Dorthe, your fairies are such gorgeous looking girls with their bright colours and beautiful dresses. And of course the sparkling in their eyes :)
Love all the effects of your eco dying the fabrics, laces and pages. Especially the gorgeous soft pink.
Thank you for sharing with us the sweet lullaby of the black bird :) We have them here too and their songs are always so beautiful.
Sending you hugs from the Netherlands, Wendy xx
Dorthe, your dolls are so delightful! I can just imagine them dancing away in the forest, playing under leaves and wildflowers... so beautiful have you made them.
I am also delighted with your eco-dyeing! You have created so many wonderful pieces here, that will be wonderful in your creations - I laughed when I read at the end that each one is different so you keep trying new things to get new surprises - you will never look at plants or rusty things the same way again!
Oh your two woodland fairies here are so wonderful! Oh my! I love their faces and vibrant festive clothing. You create the most delightful dolls : ) They always have such personality!
Love your naturally dyed items! Yay! I love those soft colors. I do love changing the color of textiles!
I am glad you are having so much fun!
Hugs,
Terri
