early summer harvests

Summer has finally started here in my little Breton home ! I'm still experimenting a lot with fermentation dyeing and right now I'm harvesting everything that could be useful.

Have a look...

The front garden, which is mainly a herb garden.

I work with a lot of herbs,

for medicine, beverages, incense, food

and of course dyes...

Broad-leaved Dock roots

Zen

or the art of harvesting willow bark

and apple tree bark

clockwise: barks from oak, apple tree, willow and plum tree

a few fibers waiting to be dyed

some fallen Eucalyptus leaves

water from the river, common sorrel, wood ash

fermented

dyed

sheep wool, alpaca and silk yarn, paper thread

Thanks for visiting
