A CARD AND ECO-DYING RESULTS

Hello dear friends , I thought I wanted to show you some of my 

Eco-dye results , and first a card ,where I used two leaves dyed onto

paper . Put together with laces, old book page, scraps and embossed papers.

This beautiful leaf is dyes onto a piece of cotton ,

I used vinegar, and rusty pieces in the boiling water ,

and also the rust was sitting maybe a week in the pot ,

before using it to dye, so there were a lot of rust dust !!

They comes up as little spots onto some of the pieces.

These leaves are also on cotton fabric .....

And these and the one below..... as you can see they comes out 

very differently, -surely because of the different leaves I have used

are giving different colors and strength of print !!

The two last pieces are both onto paper, and from the same bath 

as the ones above , I love this whitish leaf where the veins came

out a little yellow . If you click the photos, you can see more details.

I hope you are not bored , this new area is really giving

much excitement  and joy , even it can be difficult to keep

patient , and wait overnight , before opening the bunch up .

Here we celebrate Christ`s Ascension today, so

the world outside is quiet , --and I thought I better make 

a new blog posts. 

A lovely day to all of you ,-

Hugs and love

Collaged card , I think !!

Yes still not totally finished, so maybe it will be framed and

used as a card , along the way :-) 

I used the lovely image from  Nicie Ibarra : https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/shop/IbarraCreations4U

The stenciled detail is from a wonderful stencil from https://www.thatscrafty.co.uk/

and the rest lovely old and new fabrics and papers from my stash .

The paper was Eco-dyed , and stamped a tiny bit and the

butterfly is an old punch from Martha Steward .

Here we have a Holiday tomorrow , so the working people

mostly have a day off, making it a long weekend .

I hope you are all well, and feeling good, dear friends. 

Sending you 

hugs and love

Dorthe
