Leaf and Colour
Honestly one reason I love scrunch dyeing is because I am a messy dyer. I almost never dye things a solid colour because it requires being more careful and precise than I care for! 🌿 But also, I love the more organic results of scrunch dyeing and other forms of resist dyeing. If I want solid colours, I can go to any clothing or fabric store and buy them! But patterns that hold traces of the maker and the dye process … those make my heart sing ✨✨ 🌿 Click the link to my book if you’re wanting to learn more about natural dye methods, including solid dyeing, scrunch dyeing, and combing eco-printing with natural dyeing.

Natural Dyeing Autumn Winter Recipes | DIY Projects For Beginners To Complete At Home
I’ve been eco-printing for over a decade, and it still surprises and amazes me that such a simple method can create these perfect leaf prints. It doesn’t feel like it should work! 🌿 There are a lot of different methods of eco-printing. Some are more complicated or require special materials. But I love the simplicity of the method I teach in my ebook, Gum Leaf Alchemy. Literally all you need to buy is some white vinegar (cleaning vinegar). Then you can gather some old clothing, rusty metal, leaves, an old cooking pot and some string. That’s it. It’s really that basic. 🌿 If you’d like to learn the full process, including how to make and use a simple homemade mordant and how to prepare your leaves, click the link to view my ebook.

Using soy milk binder
I am not opposed to the judicious use of certain mordants, but it is also nice to have alternatives, and ways to achieve different effects too. The bright pinks from eucalyptus leaves on fabric prepared with soy milk binder are incredible, and one of my favourite uses of it. 🌿 If you’d like to learn more about using soy milk binder for natural dyeing and eco-printing on cotton and linen, click the link to my book, Leaf and Colour.
