Plant dyes - all the colours achievable from leaf, flower and root within around a five mile radius. The red hot poker root was a gift from a friend on Skye but that’s only several miles across the water…

[Sinuhe the Egyptian @tonyfuo]

The first to hold a pen from reeds of the Nile,
make paper from papyrus, brush from goose feathers, and ink from metal oxides and wood charcoal.
The Egyptian writer was the first to write and the first to read his thoughts, art, science, and imagination.

Windflowers are the name in #folklore for anemones. In Greek mythology Anemone, “daughter of the wind”, was a beautiful nymph who had a relationship with the wind god Zephyr. When his wife Chloris, (Flora to the Romans), found out she turned her into a flower. #MythologyMonday

"The lifetime of a human being is measured by decades, the lifetime of the Sun is a hundred million times longer. Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their lives in the course of a single day."

My plant-dyeing buddy Emma Kylmala lives in London and says the the weld growing wild in verges and scrub around her neighbourhood is especially prolific this year. She’s dyeing it as fast as she can. Weld dyes the brightest and most lightfast yellows. https://t.co/x2EvLECL3p
