Ended the course in natural dyeing this week with an exhibition at the student gallery at Stenebyskolan. 

I have worked with screen printing and dyeing in combination. Trying out different combinations of colour, and how do combine them. I have mostly used blueberries, yellow onion skins and madder.

Painting with red and yellow onion skin, beetroot, red cabbage and blueberries.

Last time I was at Steneby I found three different kinds of cherries. I tried out to paint with them, both the juice just the way it was, and also after boiling it. I got so many different shades from blue to almost orange.

My natural dye project at the moment. I'm working with printing in combination with dyeing. I've been using blueberries, madder, cherries and lupin for these tests. There will be more!

Back for the dyeing course in Dals Långed. The first day we went for a trip to Örtagården in Dals Rostock. Lovely garden with many medicinal plants that can also be used for dyeing.
