Wishing you a playful year!
​
I made these little critters for my grandkids.* Have to say I just LOVE that indigo blue! I'm looking forward to planting a bunch of it this year, with seeds saved from last year. I'm working with local Vibrant Earth Seeds who is cleaning, testing, and packaging many of my dye plant seeds! More to come on that :)
​
This will be my fourth year of growing dye plants and learning the technical aspects of dyeing with them. Along the way I share what I've learned by offering workshops. Last year I got into upcycling - shirts mostly, and I love the magic that happens as the textiles and plants come together with creativity! ​
​
This year's workshops are coming together, and I plan to have them posted here by the end of February. If you're on my email list, you'll be the first to hear about them.

On this site you can purchase organically grown and hand-harvested dried botanical dyes for creating beautiful color on natural fibers.

* These needle felted ornaments were made with Navajo Churro wool roving from Terra Sana Farm and dyed with plants from my garden (except for the purple). You can buy packages of my plant-dyed roving for needle felting at SW Farm to Yarn in Cortez, and at Durango Sustainable Goods in Durango.
