My natural dye practice has mostly been vat dyeing sometimes using shibori techniques, but I do flower printing as well.

My mountain Marigold is in full bloom here in inland Southern California. This hardy plant always survives our harsh summers. Will be going in a dye pot soon! #plantdye #naturaldye #marigold #gardening
