Forsythia flowers and leaves.
Dandelions, about to be plunged into boiling water (top), and 'cooking' (below). The jar on the left contains the forsythia brew.
Pastel de nata for breakfast.

A sample of sunshine last week - solar dyeing with flowers, and a delicious pastry.

Oooh - I've never heard of solar dying before. Those pastries, on the other hand, are something I am very well acquainted with!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what you dye with your brew.
I have no idea what you just said. But it's pretty. *Pat Pat*
ReplyDeleteLiesl: Solar dyeing easy - just put some dyestuff (flowers, leaves etc) into a jar, add your fabric or yarn, then pour boiling water in and leave it in a sunny place for a few days. You're using the sun's heat to warm things up, so it's much more energy efficient than dyeing something on a stove or in a machine :)
ReplyDeleteSunny: I'll put you in a jar in a minute!
