New Project: Natural Pigments

Coreopsis

I decided to make my concern about my health and my own studio's toxicity into a project. I am slowly researching how to make my own pigments from plants I can grow myself. According to Rita Buchanan author of A Dyer's Garden I am already growing a prime pigment flower, Coreopsis.



I am talking to Kremer Pigments in NYC about non-deadly colorfast additives.

If anyone has any advice or resources please send them my way. I will post my progress here.

And according to WildColours.co.uk you can make yarn to look like this with Coreopsis:

Saying Goodbye to Comfortable Distance










Thank you
for all of your support.
