#Japanese Ivy

[kohanakonohana]

先日、梅雨の合間にツタを刈りまして。

染めてみることにいたしました。

I' d gotten japanese ivies during the rest of the rainy season, and tried to dye!

葉っぱだけをアルカリ抽出したつもりが…緑では���い、と。ならば蔓も行けば良かったですかね。葉っぱだけでも赤っぽい色が染まりそうです。

なお、炊いているとベリーのような甘い匂いが漂います・・・甘葛！そうです、大昔このものは甘味料の材料！

I did alkaline extraction only with leaves, but it wasn't green...I might get something red colour. And it smelled sweet like a kind of berries...oh, japanese ivies used to be used to make the sweet syrup in the ancient age ...!

サンプルの生糸。ちょっとくすんでいますが、いいオレンジ。

This is a sample silk yarn. Although it is just smoky, but it's quite lovely orange

お勧めいただいたマクラメ糸・・・も、柔らかいオレンジに。乾いたらどうなるでしょう。

なおこちらの糸、いずれお店で販売します！

And, it is the macrame yarns! It also get soft orange colour, but how it will change after drying...it's curious. And, this natural dyed macrame yarn will be treated my shop in a few days!

Beautiful pattern placement for this kimono depicting turning leaves ivy, and tiny birds in flight (op describe them as uguisu/Japanese bush warblers).

The light background "stripes" are actually bamboo stalks on which the ivy crawls. This is so pretty!!!!

Hey, how Fey would draw ivy???

I think he is a very creative person

He might have drawn her in a more or less realistic style, perhaps, or like of a demon

Ivy would love that
