As a subscriber to Fiber Art Now, I was delighted to access their complementary e-book on the exciting topic of eco-dyeing. Now I am sharing it with you!
Perfectly-timed with our anticipation of spring and more time spent outdoors, environmentally-friendly dyeing can be achieved using plant material and simple techniques. The book also includes inspiration and how-to on rust dyeing. Eco-dyeing can lead to fun projects with children (Easter eggs, perhaps?) to intriguing wearables, or to the most sophisticated of gallery installations. The approach can be used with papers as well as cloth.
The e-book is available here. Consider it a taster for what could well become an obsession.

Thanks for that -- well-timed. I am taking a day-long class in eco-dyeing during Fibre Week at Olds College (Olds, AB) in June. Must have a look at the book before I go!
