Botanical Based Fabric Dyes
Fall, 2022
Recreational fabric dyeing

Using my kowledge in both textile testing and science, I created my own sustainable plant based dyes. Colors and their ingredients from left to right--- Light pink: avodaco pitts, Orange: tumeric, Green: spinach, Purple: beets, Indigo: blueberries and purple cabbage. I used salt and vinegar as mordants to hold the dye into the muslin fabric.
