woad workshop wow!

 

Caitlin's sunset inspired me to look for saturated color and there it was! A botanical dye workshop at Magnuson Park. I spent the afternoon shooting their process of dipping and dyeing natural fabrics. See www.botanicalcolors.com for more info about botanical dyes.

What a wonderful series of colorful pics! A story told. Great action with the two holding the big sheet! Like your each very individual pic. Much better in color! :-)

i love the detailed shots that show the color, but the fabric drying with the trees behind is simply beautiful. It makes me think of my grandmother stringing her comforters out to dry in Montana Summers. i just want to run my fingers along the rows. lovely emotions!

It is fun to see the three aspects. The first reminds me of nostalgia (as Caitlin previously commented). The second shows the modern reality of a workshop in an urban park, complete with 5 gallon buckets!. The third is a lovely study in pattern and color.
