Natural dyeing is still gathering steam throughout the US.
When we leave here I hope to take some weld and madder with me to start a new dye garden in Essex.
At the end of summer, I hope to find some local plums to make Damson gin! (Can you guess I’ve been watching Masterpiece Theatre’s “Marple” while knitting?…the one with Geraldine McEwan!)
And a visit to the NY Botanical Gardens in the Bronx yielded a day of intense color and a rise in my own creative sap by seeing the glories of spring!
I have an armillary sphere in my garden, and now I want to display it like this, on a pedestal, and grow a vine through it! This was my ‘take away’ gem of the day!
