Grass root with natural lac dye 🧡 A few years ago I came across some willow root growing underwater in a river in the UK and it got me thinking about the binding properties of root: What if we could grow our clothes from seed? As an underwater photographer (my real job @zenaholloway ) I was looking for solutions to the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and I found that I could sustainably grow grass seed in beeswax moulds.
Scientists predict that nearly all the coral will be gone by 2050 due to global warming 😢 so my response is to grow a sustainable coral reef from grass root. I want to imagine a future that still has coral reefs. They support 25% of all marine life, and are some of the most spectacular places on the planet (especially if you’re an underwater photographer 😉) I’ll be exhibiting my ‘coral’ with Material Matters from 22-25 September, top floor at the iconic Bargehouse @oxotowerwharf on London’s South Bank.

A weekend full of fiber projects! I started my first attempt at natural dyeing (second pic is amaranth from my garden which I’ll use for the dye). I made some progress on my #confidettebolero test knit, and did a little #spinning (I can’t to see end product of this white and red fiber, which I plan to ply with itself). Finally, I wound some skeins so I can start my *other* test knit (#thekindnessofravens sweater) #knitting #fiberarts #naturaldyeing #handspinning (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfnITPArlTB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My natural dye experiments to date. 1. From the vats I took home from a mushroom dyeing class @eugenetextilecenter with @cheshirelovespisolithus : sarcodon, hydenellum auranticum, phaeolous schweinitzii (the 2 yellows, tonal variations from adjusting the pH with ammonia after dyeing), and pisolithus 2. From my garden and the farm: camelia flowers, bluebell (with an ammonia after bath), and old man's beard lichen (boiling water extraction) 3. More garden plants and food leftovers: kale, carrot and parsnip tops, and rosemary and black tea 4. On the drying rack: thistle from the farm, rhododendron flowers from my garden (with an iron dip). #naturaldyeing #mushroomdye #phaeolusschweinitzii #pisolithus https://www.instagram.com/p/CebbNf8ruv5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
