Dye

I've had a small scratch in my throat so I've been using this tea recipe to help soothe the pain. Aside from it being delicious -- I've been intrigued by the pomengranate. This is the first time I've ever messed with the fruit and it produces one of the most beautiful berry colors I've ever seen. 

It started me thinking about natural dyeing and using fruit instead of your typical box dyes. I found this little video of Audrey Louise Reynolds (via daily candy) that is a nice introduction to natural dying.

Here are few hand-dyed pieces that are really goregous. Not quite sure if they use natural dyes but nevertheless, still gorgeous. The first two images are from Upstate, the last by Shabd.
