Eco chic

 
Eco dyed upcycled cotton and lace jacket – some more of last Monday’s eco dyeing.

[Native cherry + copper dyepot; layered with eucalyptus leaves and ferns. Wrapped around an iron bar. Simmered for 5 hours (size – L).]

Luckily, native cherry grows on our land …

 
Cotton cardigan reinvented with eco dyeing (native cherry + copper) and an added torn vintage silk trim. Goes well with the asymmetric cotton tunic I made from eco dyed fabrics a couple of weeks back!

I love the variety of greens it gives. The cardi was originally a pale mint; the dress fabrics were beige.

If at first you don’t succeed, embellish it!

 
Eco dyed cardi that was a bit ho-hum; crocheted eco dyed cotton and silk yarns.

Big is beautiful too.

This week’s eco dyeing, including some larger sizes as requested by customers!
