ReplyDeletebeautiful colours, love the mottley look, is the birch bark going to be a dye stuff? i like how the birch bark matches the dog...k.
ReplyDeleteYes, without a number on it we might not know what to call it, and that would be such a shame. Why on earth do they need to number a tree?
ReplyDeleteIncredible colours in your fabric velma

Can you dye cloth with birch bark?
ReplyDelete~ Julie
you ca try, i'm guessing it's the regular old yellow/tan. anyone else? when i need bark dyes, i go for apple (yellow) or hemlock (rust). i usually use bark for paper or basketry.
ReplyDeleteHa,ha. Sisters-in-birch!
ReplyDeletelove the colors and textures of your cloth and dyes and what can be found in nature all connected.
