Slow Living - Natural Dye vol. 4 - Tansies

I have had natural dye in my mind so many times but I have to admit I haven't had a time or I've been just too lazy, haha. But yesterday evening I had this big obsession of making some testing with tansies.

Because my test is ongoing, I don't tell you how to do it but you can follow my pics of making it and get some kind of understanding what is happening. When I have made my testing ready and I'm happy with it - I will give you DIY advices but not before. And where I have heard about this? Of course from master natural dyer - India Flint. She has done so amazing work that you can't talk about it on the same day when I'm testing my natural dye with tansies, haha.

But I wanted to show you this because I'm soo excited about it and I want to learn this and maybe you too! But now the only thing what we can do is - wait. Colors will get stronger day by day. So let's say one week...I like to open them now! No - one week.
