RE: Dried Rose Petals, Pansies, and Calendula

Oh my gosh, you are on top of it! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to make a whole post for me! They look amazing and stayed true to color! Have you ever used plants to dye fabrics ?

Thank you! No, I have not tried that yet, I have been meaning to look more seriously into fabric dying with natural things like turmeric, coffee, red onion and such but have yet to do it. I very likely will in the near future as I have some nice white cotton fabrics that I would like to add color to and use in my patch work skirts

That will be so beautiful ! I love the earthy look that natural dyes give.
It sounds like a messy deal to start into, but I cant Imagine that its any worse than tie dye. Plus, It's a great way to use extra veggies! I bet that Blackberries would be gorgeous too! (:
