As well as maintaining that sacred connection to nature, it is possible to achieve the most beautiful array of colours that always seem to go together.
NATURAL DYES
One of the pleasures of living in the Forest of Dean is the opportunity to forage berries and plants for natural dyeing. I can then use the fabrics for my textiles.
Also, my coeliac disease and food allergies dictate that I cook everything from scratch. Therefore, I have an abundance of onion skins, avocado and pomegranate skins from the kitchen which give up wonderful colours. There is much opportunity here for experimenting.
