Safflower petals are soaked and the ph level adjusted at different stages of the process.

Whisking dye extract into gum tragacanth to make a paste suitable for various print processes.

Using the dye paste for screen printing yielded some great results

The dye paste could be used for block printing

or painted on to fiber or fabric

We tried to come up with a great title for our exhibition in May

We will be exhibiting in here…..

Jenny brought her camera to document (other) Jenny’s textile collection and filmed a group portrait.
