Coreopsis extract (gold), saskatoons (green)
Month: July 2019
Coreopsis, sappan, saskatoons
Fresh coreopsis (orange), sappan wood (red), saskatoons (purple).
Saskatoons and sappan wood
Sappan wood gives quite a nice purple over a very quick dip in saskatoon berries dye (light blue)
Saskatoon berries, frozen.
Both shades come from the same dye, it works fast, not sure though how it will handle the sun.
Madder
I don’t know how people get bright red from madder, this is all I can get, and that on a brown egg.
Elderflower and sappan wood
If you keep an egg in elderflower dye for a while, it gives an intense almost mustardy greenish yellow. Contrasts well with the red of sappan wood.
Coreopsis fresh flowers
First egg in a dye gives a color like this, then it becomes pale orange towards coral.
