I'm playing with dyes again using foliage from natives in my garden. I'm not sure what they are called and I have no idea what recipes to use....will it stop me experimenting No!! I do remember something about one teaspoon of alum ...so it went into the pot with the golden leaves from this tree. I wonder what colour I will get.
The next experiment will be this pretty native (below)... with tiny silver leaves and sweet perfumed white flowers that cascade over the banks of creeks.
I found this one as a seeding in the middle of the bush track along the brigalow flats on a grazing lease I once owned in the Jandowae/Chinchilla area Qld many years ago.
I would love to hear from anyone who is familiar with natural dyeing using either of these natives...or what the natives are called.
Happy dyeing
