colour literally gathered from the gutters

we haven't had to look far
for beautiful colours here at Maiwa
they are literally drifting to the ground from 
local trees [within 200 yards of the dye studio]

no adjunct mordants are being used
just
leaves and water
paper and cloth
+
i am having a splendid time
[i do hope they ask me back]

    Maiwa always sounds such a fine place. And to judge by their blog, they are enjoying you as much as you're enjoying them. All this, and dyeplants within reach. What a perfect arrangement!

    Among all the amazing pieces of dyed cloth I spotted the wonderful Aesop handcream. I got so used to the herbal smell when I attended your class in Scotland, I 've already purchased one online! The smell always takes me back to the studio. Feel like old Marcel P. already....

    Those imprints are amazing and the colours! I can't believe there was no other mordant. Maiwa must indeed be a special place. Like Eva, I, too, love the Aesop cream and it takes me back to the workshop I did with you also. Fabulous stuff.
