Take a digital tour of my dye and fiber gardens!
My garden is my favorite “art supply store.” I’m fortunate that here in the Sacramento California area, nearly everything grows.
We planted California natives in our front yard several years ago, many of which are also dye plants. In the back yard I’ve planted some tried and true specimens like Madder for natural dying and Day Lilly for weaving - but I’ve also experimented with what was already here, and have focused my practice on using what chooses to share this space with me.
