Dyeing with plants

After collecting all the leaves, twigs, flowers and stalks around my house or studio ( or down the street.....), I have been working mostly on silk to experiment with the dyeing.  I love the feel and drape of silk but it is also takes dyes so beautifully.   I lay all my leaves and items on a piece of silk and fold and wrap it tightly to dunk it in the dye bath.    These pieces have just come out of the bath.
