ECO DYEING from WEEDS & WASTE

What a fabulous class!  
Irene's extensive plant knowledge is truly amazing.
She is like a treasure trove, here are some beautiful journals she's made with plants printing themselves naturally onto the paper.




 Plant brews simmering on the stovetop. 
Watching Irene teach her magical ways and share her knowledge for the generations to come, was so invigorating!
 Marigolds make yellow and watching them simmer was so fun and witchy.


 Onion skins make a fun natural dye, and are easy to collect throughout your week to create pretty plant prints later. 
(Tossing them in the freezer helps keep them all together and when its time to dye just pop it in the water, boil and simmer)




You never know how its going to turn out and I think thats the best part about this process. This process reminds me of developing film.




When Irene has another class you should check it out, the Chuckanut Center is always having amazing and informational classes:
