Sequence of painting on fine wool with natural dyes, then change of appearance after steaming.
Fine wool dyed in Rosemary - olive green.
Stretched to draw tulips and leaves on.
Tulips made by lemon bleaching the dyed wool (this may have caused the blurring and browning after steaming)
Ahimsa bundle dyed with Hesperanth and hyacinth plus few Coleus leaves, to make a border for narrow scarf.
Ahimsa piece was mirror bundled with the wool scarf, which also took on the blue and purples giving more colour to the dull green.
Lino cut prints practiced on the Ahimsa: Celtic Knot in brown, and Dragon Triskel in green; with thickened dye paste. Steamed result pale, but not too disappointing.
Ahimsa was cut in half to fold and use as borders.
Main scarf became darker and duller over time. (interesting if Rosemary does that).
2025 decision to add a fringe and embroider outlines where flowers are suggested.
Brightness of Hyacinth Midnight Mystic on Ahimsa silk which gave enough dye strength to repeat on the wool scarf
