I’m of a mind to make something larger from these latest dye results.

Above osage over indigo, below indigo over tansy.

But i need a third colour–contrast? Co-ordinate? Do i calm it, or dramatize?

General consensus so far on social media has been the purple.

Anyone who thinks natural dyes are boring browns: HA.

Making a layout is not going to be easy though, with dog hair, grass clippings, loose threads and assorted cosmic debris on the floor, the only place big enough to use. (And that’s *after* vacuuming 🙂
