The Natural Dye Handbook

$26.99

Hello friends. I’m so happy to offer signed copies of my book. I used my favorite fountain pen and wrote a little message inside. Whether you're new to botanical dyes or well-versed, I think you’ll find something magickal to explore. The color library documents 72 plants, 2 bugs, and 1 mushroom. The samples use different mordants and are on linen, cotton, silk, and wool. I hope you love all the illustrations. I love drawing as much as I love botanical dyes. Have a beautiful day.

Info about my book(from the publisher)

This rich and comprehensive guide to natural dyeing processes will take your practice to the next level.

Author Heidi Iverson explains how to expand the color palette you can achieve by using a variety of tannins, mordants, modifiers, and mixing colors to get incredible results naturally.

The Natural Dye Handbook includes:
- A library of more than 70 plants, including fungi, leaves, bark, roots, flowers, fruit, nuts, and seeds, and the incredible natural-dyed rainbow you can create with them.
- A back-to-basics look at the fundamental principles of natural dyeing to help you understand each plant and process as you continue on your natural dye journey.
- A large section exploring color theory, where Heidi explains how to create your own color library and techniques for mixing colors.

Heidi explores two different approaches to natural dyeing: a traditional style and a more intuitive approach. Discover mindful dye practices, low-energy alternatives, and water-conscious methods, as well as more traditional dye methods using raw dyestuff, whole plants, and ground plants. There is also advice on safely foraging for dye plants, ethical harvesting, and growing your own dye plants.

Learn how to create your own dye journal in order to track your progress in this ultimate handbook for natural dyers looking to take their practice further.
