So last weekend I put linen in a pot with marigold. The marigold flowers produce a yellow colour and I wanted to see. I can grow these in my garden in autumn so I am very curious.
It turned out to be a nice yellow.
Now. The crazy right now is that I cut this out as a dress before I dyed it. But I want to wear is black or grey or dark burgundy or anything that is so dark that it is hard to tell it is not black or a very dark brown. Yellow really is not a top choice right now. But I was playing. I will use what I was playing with. I can always wear the dress to walk in or dye things in. A dyed dress that has traces of other dyes. That could be pretty cool.
I am thinking about trying a bit of madder on the cotton silk fabric I have. To make another slip. A red slip for under black dresses. And buying some linen sheets in black and charcoal because it seems like the only place to find the right colours for what I wish to wear. I keep skipping the light coloured clothes in my wardrobe unless they are the only thing to wear.
