I have bought a book on natural dyes but haven't gotten my hands wet (ha) yet. And yeah, beading ...I should write about a massive bead weaving WIP next week! It definitely takes time. But it will be so cool when it's done!
Oh I can't wait to see your bead weaving project! To be honest, I'm not even sure what that is. So now the curiosity builds! I have not yet tried any natural dyes other than tea. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on it Especially if it is less expensive than Procion.
It's when you make designs with little seed beads on a bead loom - like this (this is one piece of my project):
Wow! I've been importing some of this stuff from Paris! It is so nice to see someone still doing it!!
I saw an artist once who did A PORTRAIT in bead weaving. I was so amazed!
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that must be!
