I’ll admit it…I went down the rabbit hole this morning watching eco dye videos on YouTube. although I got nothing physically accomplished during that time I was definitely inspired to give it a whirl myself.
I picked up a pad of 100lb watercolor paper at a garage sale for 50¢. I figured this was good fodder for my experiment. I walked around the yard picking various leaves, weeds and flowers to give variety since I really have no idea what will work the best. I also searched through the scrap lumber in the shed for wood to sandwich my pages between. 
my bundle is all ready to go…just one problem…
The cooking pot is too small. I fear we got rid of the large one that was in the shed at some point. A trip to Goodwill is in order before I can actually run my experiment.
While in the yard I discovered that my dream catcher did its job and kept the pesky deer from eating my tiger lily blossoms.
So pretty! Love the bright orange.
I look forward to seeing how this turns out. I only tried paper once, didn’t use a mordant, and wrapped my paper bundle around a stick. I bet yours will turn out much better than mine did. Good luck, dear.
Your lilies looks magnificent. I think lots of us have the August desire to dye some material-paper, fabric for me. What is it about August that inspires dyeing?
Looks like a fun experiment and your tiger lillies look amazing! Your dream catcher worked like a dream …lol ?. Wishing you a happy and creative new week! J ? x
I’m glad your dream catcher worked to protect those tiger lilies. Gorgeous plants! You got good shots of them. I remember mother having some, but I don’t see them much any more.
