Here is a doily I made with cotton that I dyed with beach plums. I used mimosa bark and alum as mordants. It is hard to see the color in this photo, but it is a variegated soft pink and purple.
Otherwise known as Ms. Busy Fingers.
In my free time this winter I experimented a lot with dyeing yarn with natural stuff like oak bark and pine needles. The colors from nature are so alive! I've been crocheting for several years now - took to it with a vengeance! When I am not hookin, I take care of the rich people's gardens out here on this rock in the sea.
It's very pretty.
