A pity I can’t share the aroma!

 
In the gallery today – flowers from the garden.

Transformation

 
This upcycled pure silk top was pale pink originally; steamed for 2 hours after layering with red rhododendron flowers and red onion skins. The applique fabric was dyed in purple carrot water + alum, then layered with leaves and brown onion skins and steamed for 1.5 hours. Both were wrapped around a rusty trampoline spring.

Size – S 

Eco dying with purple carrots, raspberries and more

 
Sneak peak of yesterday’s dyeing results before washing (see earlier blog post for details of the Miss Universe Australia dress project).

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Perfect for a woodland wedding – stunning lacy nightie worn over a vintage slip, both transformed into day wear with eco dyeing; embellished with a handmade eco dyed brooch pin. Size: M/L (www.gonerustic.etsy.com)
