Hand Dying Obsession- Paper Fabric Lace & Doilies
I’ve been obsessed lately with hand dying pieces of cloth, doilies, lace and paper. I use tea, coffee and Parisian essence to age and colour my pieces and then bake them in the oven to give them a lovely vintage feel. I also discovered that Parisian essence is great used as an ink for fancy writing and sketching. I have stacked my collections on recycled cardboard packaging trays in the linen press for future creative projects.
