Rebecca Desnos 🌿 Natural Dyeing on Instagram: "✍️ Comment the word “GUIDE” and I’ll send you a link to download my free guide on foraged dyes 🍂🌿💌 Rosemary is such a beautiful herbal natural dye. You’ll get different colours from different varieties. The purple colour sadly doesn’t last with exposure to sunlight, but it does last for a while. It’s still worth trying rosemary in your dye pot, just to experience this beautiful colour. Other scented herbs work well for natural dyeing too. Some favourites are sage, lavender and bay 🍃 Have you tried any of these herbal dyes? #naturaldyes #naturaldyeing #mylocaldyeplants #botanicaldyes #plantdye #herbaldye"

Needlecraft Supplies, delivered to your door! on Instagram: "Hello Fellow Crafters! 🤗✨ I had requests to explain how this particular type of Needlelace is started on a bead, so here are the steps. I’m using 10 ply Malabrigo Rios yarn and a 23mm diameter wooden bead: 1. Create a Buttonhole Ring - this is the foundation for the Needlelace to follow. I used a knitting needle the same size as the bead hole (5mm in this example). As I’m right handed, and will work the Buttonhole Needlelace from left to right, I wrapped the yarn around the needle twice in a counterclockwise direction (leaving a short tail hanging, no more than 10cm). I use a length of yarn that will be enough to cover the entire bead (here, 2m). Holding the two wraps and the yarn end together with your other hand, take your thr

Leanne on Instagram: "I realised the other day that I had forgotten to share this print with you! I don't know why I forgot as I love it, one of my favourites of late. I was going through a daffodil phase when I made this cyanotype. I get like that sometimes when I'm printing, all it takes is one good print and I go again and again! I've misplaced my notebook where I write down all my timings so once I find it I'll update this caption with the exposure time. --- Daffodil cyanotype print Paper - a page from an old gardening book Cyanotype solution - @jacquardproducts Exposure time - not sure . . . . . . #cyanotype #cyanotypeprint #cyanotypeprint #cyanotypeart #cyanotypeartist #cyanotypeprocess #blue #blueprint #sun #sunprint #altprocess #alternativeprocess #alternativephotography #alt

Mer on Instagram: "Spoiler Alert 😎 Sí funciona sobre tela… en esta ocasión se hizo una antotipia sobre una playera pequeña: Prepara la tela (de preferencia de algodón) Con un atomizador rocía mezcla reposada de cúrcuma + alcohol (para evitar mancharte tanto, pero también se puede sumergir la tela en el líquido) Coloca encima las “sombras” con las que quieres dibujar Puedes colocar arriba un vidrio o algo transparente para que ejerza presión sobre las piezas Dejar al sol (yo lo dejé 30 minutos, estaba muy soleado) Enjuagar con: agua + bicarbonato de sodio + sal de grano ¡Listo!, dejar secar para usarla #ilustracionbotanica #arteconcúrcuma #ecoarte #procesoscreativos #arteconluz #tecnicasexperimentales #ilustramer"
