Natural Dyeing

Colour drawn from plants, over an open fire.

Cornflower, madder root and wild berries, simmered, dried on the line and cut into a dress.

Cornflower petals gathered in a cane basket
Dye-giving roots and stems held in the hand
Dark wild berries dried in a cane basket
The dye bath, roots steeping in a reddish vat
The dye pot set over an open fire
The dyed cloth lifted from the bath, sage and dusty rose
Cloth simmering in a dye vat over the fire
Naturally-dyed cloths drying on the line above a Bhutanese valley at dusk
Dyed cloths drying, Bhutan
The naturally-dyed dress, white bodice with a peach and sage ruffled hem
The dress in a village doorway
The dress beside a carved Bhutanese window
Hem detail, layered peach and sage naturally-dyed ruffles
Seated in a doorway in the dyed dress
Standing portrait in the naturally-dyed dress
The dress framed by a rammed-earth doorway
Portrait in the naturally-dyed dress, afternoon light
