Growing Colour Tyfu Lliw

This is both about growing colour quite literally as plants in my garden and also about using them. I dye fibres with natural dyes and use them to "paint" with. This is how I make my landscapes , mostly of the North Wales countryside Mae Tyfu Lliw yn enw addas iawn i'r 'blog' yma. Yr wyf yn cael hwyl yn tyfu bob math o flodau i Helen i'w defnyddio. Mae hi yn creu lluniau bendigedig, mae y lliwiau yn hollol naturiol, ac felly'n gweithio'n dda iawn yn rhoi lliw credadwy o'r wlad o'm cwmpas

Natural Dye Inks

My new Natural Dye Inks which I have been developing over the last six months are now on my website for sale. These are the inks I now use for painting the covers of my dye books and also for painting the pictures that are the start of the process for creating a new landscape in naturally dyed felt, and machine stitch.

As I view the photographs above I feel frustrated as despite my best endeavours they do not show the richness and complexities of these beautiful colours.
