▲ TRINITY ▲

Három nagy-múltú festőnövény színeivel dolgozom mostanában, amelyek a festőrezeda (sárgák), a festőbuzés (barack-lazac-táglavörös-rózsaszínek), és az indigó (kékek).
Készül az új ▲TRINITY ▲ mini-kollekció!

I'm working with three classic dyes for my new mini collection, entitled ▲TRINITY ▲: 
weld (yellows), madder (pinks, peaches and brick reds) and indigo (blues).

bon appétit

line by line

I recently started to learn handweaving, it's a beautifully meditative, feminine artful process that aligns body and soul through the repetitive process, passing the shuttle hundreds, thousands of times between the warp threads to create cloth. I dyed some indigo yarn for these two shawls

to close a wonderful year

Thank you for following my work on this platform, even though I have little energy to post here (for more regular updates please join me over on the BOTANIKA FB page).

indigo - here we go!

I've been looking forward to dyeing with natural indigo for a long-long time, but I've been putting it off because it is unlike all other dye-plants. It is an ancient an unique source of colour that works through an elaborate process of oxidation, reacting to the air to bring out the beautiful blue shades.
now finally the blues are here, and I'm thrilled with the first results of my dye experiments.
