Eco Colour

This is a fabulous new book that I just got in the mail yesterday. It's titled Eco Colour, by India Flint. Unfortunately it's not available in the United States, and you have to order it from Australia, but it's worth it. The photographs in the book are beautiful, and the information is invaluable. India gives ecologically sound instructions for using natural dyes (with and without mordants), making eco prints with leaves and flowers, rust dyeing, mud dyeing, solar dyeing and more. She layers techniques and gets very rich colors and designs that way. It's a must-have book for anyone interested in a natural way of producing color on cloth.
