Dyed fabrics are the best examples that messy things can be beautiful too.
Create your own beautiful mess with our wide range of Jacquard dyes. 👚👕👖
Our range includes natural fabric dyes, nylon fabric dyes and polyester fabric dyes.
From the Garden: November 2019 (book) is part of a series of ecodyed works I created in November 2019, when I was first experimenting with the process. The prints were created by layering foliage collected from my garden onto long strips of paper, and wrapping them around rusted tin cans, which were boiled with onion skins for about an hour. The lines of the tin can and the lines of the string I used to tie the paper around the can are visible within these prints.
Completely out-of-ideas tattoo artist Character A scans the internet for any type of inspiration for designs they can find. They already specialize in darker, more metal ink with pretty badass imagery, but they’ve found that that type of style isn’t really in these days. Besides, no one who looks at a picture of Character A would ever expect the large, almost grotesque imagery to come out of Character A’s gun (they were basically a tiny little golden retriever, for pete’s sake).
In an attempt to find something more in line with both their customers’ expectations and what’s trending, Character A gets in contact with someone online who calls themselves an “Ecodyer,” or basically, someone who uses the natural dyes in organic substances to imprint their likeness onto clothing.
Character A happily agrees to come meet Character B at their workshop, but they’re stunned to not find a cute little cottagecore-esque individual but instead a burly biker holding a basket of ferns and irises, waving enthusiastically.
Welcome to the incredible, sustainable and stable blue green colours you can only get naturally by ecodyeing with mushrooms. Welcome to the Thelephoroid clade!
I'll cover every step you'll need to unlock the rich colour potential in these amazing fungi. This incredibly diverse group of mushrooms is capable of deep bluey-greens and greys all the way to black. Found throughout North America and Europe, Boleptosis grisea can be found often growing in association with Scots pine.
*Please note it is of conservation concern in some areas of Europe due to deforestation, air pollution and use of fertilizers, so please only harvest where it's more common. And as always, fight against the factors leading to its scarcity!*

Another ecoprint leaf pull, just because I think they are pretty to look at (also very exciting when they are this good!)
This print is from a catalpa leaf which had turned a very dubious brown colour in the freezer and I wasn't convinced it was going to do much of anything - but look! It came out so vibrant I wish I'd done loads more of them!
New energy drink? Dreaming of this liquid purple 💜😍 remnants from boiling purple carrots. I’m going to try a test dye with some scrap fabric to see if it holds. We’ll see how it goes!
Excited to repurpose food scraps for creating upcycled linens. Who else is food dyeing? #closedloopcooking
