two interesting links today:
Riihivilla from Finland wrote a great blog post about her experiments with fermentation dyeing.

and here’s a (French) film about “Couleur Garance”
Couleur Garance is a Conservatory Garden of dye plants situated in the South of France.
It is remarkable for many reasons. It is planted on the terraces of the 18th century Château de Lauris.
The gardens overlook the Durance river valley.
The gardens are very unique in Europe and are entirely dedicated to vegetable dyes,
with over 300 different plants from all over the world!

I’ve been there three times already, I just love it, it’s a wonderful garden and I consider it an absolute must-see for all dyers who visit the South of France.
Garance is the french word for madder (Rubia tinctorum)
