STAGE 1 : meet the babies

Mid-May 2024

I started many dye plants from seed this year and have been working hard to clear the invasive grass from my beds so I can plant my dye plants. I will be using most of these plants to dye cotton fabric, and to make ink for drawing and painting. Some of these plants are native to America, while others are european. 

Plants I started from seed:

Madder (the roots can be dug up and dyed with, after a few years)

Scabiosa (black pin-cushion)

Safflower (makes pink or orange dye)

Marigolds (classic from mexico, so fun and beautiful)

Black Hollyhock (might take a year or two)

indigo (japanese variety)

weld (bright yellowy green)

woad (native UK blue dye plant, not at potent at indigo)

red hat coneflower

i moja raščešljana kosa, iz koje ispadaju sjemenke bez grijeha, bezgrešne sjemenke smeđeg šumskog pokrivača, polako trunućeg humusa, hrane za zelenilo i svjetlosne plohe, izlivene kao salivene, plijevljene unaprijed, obrezane kao mlado drvo pred rosom sunčevog žutila, izrezbarene mišlju bez prestanka, voljom iz blagog plamena, krijesom odaslanoga, ispisanoga listom, lišćem, korijenjem. sjeti se.

Doing a lot of struggle with this warp but it seems to have settled down a bit and the white linen weft is doing well. Huck weave.

The interminably challenging fine linen Huck weave. I haven’t been well for a few days so not a lot of energy for much today.

The thing that has intrigued me most about textiles is the way the fabric moves through a space, the folds and creases it creates, the sound it makes. I find it difficult to imagine a static and flat piece of textiles. Even my most static pieces like my copper sculptures have the form of a fabric blown away with wind and frozen in time. In hindsight, I feel like this could be because I come from the land of unstitched drapes like sarees, dhotis, turbans and so on that are free flowing and versatile.

MORDANT PREPARATION Catching the Spirit of Metals The term mordant comes from the Latin mordere, "to bite". In the past, it was thought that a mordant helped the dye bite onto the fiber so that it would hold fast during washing. A mordant is often polyvalent metal ion, often chromium(III).[The resulting coordination complex of dye and ion is colloidal and can be either acidic or alkaline. The wait is exciting as we count days watching the metals and the potion reacting in a bond of Love. Common dye Mordants: Mordants include tannic acid, alum, chrome alum, sodium chloride, and certain salts of aluminium, chromium, copper, iron, iodine, potassium, sodium, tungsten, and tin. #mordant #naturaldye #naturaldyes #plantdye #sustainablefashion #botanicaldye #botanicaldyes #rawdyes #tannin #sustainability #naturaldyersofinstagram #naturaldyeing #iron #ecodye #plantdyes #mordanting #tannino #vegandye #liquiddyes #botanicalcolors #nature #handmade #tiedyefashion #handmade #vocalforlocal#slowfashion #projectrangamaati #ecofriendly #indianhandcrafts #sustainablefashion #supportsmallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CTYu3VnvRH3/?utm_medium=tumblr

The warp from hell - exhausted, no 2D work from me today. Tomorrow I have to revisit it to try and sort out the disaster area.
