Jasmine's Picture

Jasmine aged 9 came to visit me at Christmas and as she likes painting I gave her some paper and my natural dye inks.
This is what she did.
Thank you Jasmine.

The Dye Planters garden by Jan Gardner

Jan came and painted my garden-using my inks.

You can see more of her lovely paintings here.

Pictures by Drusilla Cole

I have been selling my inks steadily and begging, pleading and encouraging buyers to send me a picture to put on the blog.. Finally Drusilla Cole who did these two pictures consented to allow me to put them up her. If you would like to know more about Drusilla -author of fabulous books about patterns and textiles you can find her here

Coming 'round the mountains

hello Helen,

finally managed to 'upload' an image.

This was the first small painting I did with your 'natural dye inks' and trust it will encourage others to use them !

I believe you said it was my thoughts on 'primary coloured inks' that stimulated your research - development - and production of the inks.

By the way, I need more.

See you next week,

David
