BITS AND PIECES DYED IN FRUIT TEA ,AND SOME OTHER RUSTED IN MY GARDEN !!!

I want to show you this beautiful bunch of dyed fabrics and laces!

I think the colour which came out,is so beautiful, and using tea bags

for dying is always a chance to take on the colour tones !!

This time I was so very pleased, -also the skeleton leafe looks pretty!

This is the tea used, a leftover gift from some German dear friends!!

And then the rust part!!!! I made some months ago a roll of papers ,fabric, and laces,

added rusted keyes and nails, and some other tea bags , 

wrapped it all together with a metal string,and let it stay outside'

in the rain for some months.

Opening it up, this was what I found ,

lovely rusted pieces , you can see the rust elements here !!

And here some paper , now with a wonderful rustic feel.

The last dye is also from tea, and this time I used 

this Celestial tea, giving a brownish pale pink tone ,also so

very lovely I think !! 

I hope you enjoied seing my tea-and rust "party" it is so fun

playing with old scraps and nature dying materials !!

This photo is from my walk today, isen`t it the most 

beautiful water plant !!!

Have a wonderful weekend, my dear friends,- and thank you to you all ,for visiting and for 

commenting here, it makes me very happy ,and thankful !!

Love and hugs,

Dorthe
