Captured by Colour: Introduction to Natural Dyes

[@antoniobroccoliporto4774]

My mom was raised on a farm in S.Italy in the 30’s and 40’s and she knew the secret to all the natural dyes. Her family’s farm was very self sufficient. Made their own soap from used olive oil and ash water. They would dye stockings with coffee. Nuts and onions for brownish & tan colors.

[@alayaheart7384]

I wish all of us here could sit with her in her kitchen and garden to learn and be all together!

[@victoriagoddard4617]

My wedding dress was dyed in tea - it was made of voile - layers and layer of voile. Stunning .

[@abbytueller3168]

This to me is the definition of a beautiful and full life. She’s got so much wisdom and beauty to share and you can feel the joy and fulfillment it brings her. I wish you were my grandmother I’d spend hours and hours experimenting with you! The most magical lady ever. I hope to be just like you one day :,)

[@bradleyheath7277]

I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@axlgustavo793]

@Bradley Heath instablaster :)

[@bradleyheath7277]

@Axl Gustavo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bradleyheath7277]

@Axl Gustavo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@axlgustavo793]

@Bradley Heath glad I could help :)

[@Appellonia]

YOU MADAM ARE LIKE A MAGICAL FAIRY 🧚‍♀️ FROM MY DREAMS!!! 😍TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!!!! 😍😍🤩 That blanket is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[@GoldenOwlEvents]

This was a delightful presentation. A very restful and soothing experience. Thank you so much for being a lovely teacher, and to your production team for creating and sharing this video 💜

[@nz-nz]

I could watch this forever!!!!!

[@bonnieghosh4945]

Lost for words. What treasures we have to enrich our life. Gratitude is not enough but for now and daily I thank you implicitly. Warm Regards.

[@sandramyer7081]

Love your variety types of plants and rusty metals! And what you create different combos of natural dye! Thank you! 🥰❤️

[@tinaboslego7069]

Wow, this lady is a treasure. I'd love to see the silks dried.

[@filomenaimbruglia6258]

You're so beautiful.. Your knowledge so big.. Your way to explain and tell. Thank you so much 🙏. Greetings from Italy

[@michellemarkhampresents1248]

Just love trudy!! If you freeze the lemon first they squeeze really easily 💕

[@susanjerrell9220]

I love this video. I understand that there is more than what you can cram in a one hour video. Also, this doesn't seem to be a tutorial. It's just one woman's way of doing the things she does. I got a great warm feeling just watching Miss Trudi and hope she keeps on doing those things she likes to do. 💟

[@gigielizabeth5636]

The mosaic behind the stove is beautiful!!

[@nonameandplants6130]

I've learned canning shelves preserving meat crocheting herbal meds and now we shall learn how to dye cloth. Next will be something but I love learning anything that I can make my self so I don't have to buy it. And it's just so fun learning how to care for your self and do fun things with out the big company's

[@lindas5964]

The fabric at the end was incredible. No industrial process could ever achieve so beautiful results such as these. ❤

[@erikakim7425]

You are a treasure! Thank you so much!

[@user-inharmony]

I feel like I have been given a gift... Thank you!

[@vilmalemus4919]

You are a gifted person. Knowledge, talento, love it.

[@rupertprawnworthy758]

Greg is rather handsome and so helpful too, the ladies ability to get a use or several uses out of every little thing and getting beauty out of things many would just waste or throw away is inspiring.

[@leepizarro]

What a wonderful resource , thank you so much for sharing Aunty !

[@mayanmoon999]

So precious she is! Gifted, I will never look at rust the same way again! Sweet inspiration! Thank you,bless Australia,from America!

[@eroscreatives]

At 19.47 Trudi mentions a herb that was used as part of the solar dye process. The herb is called Weld or sometimes Dyer's Rocket.

[@МиннегельМухаметкаримовна]

Это волшебство, спасибо Вам!!!! Брависимо!!!

[@jenniferharrison4222]

Thankyou from Comox on Vancouver Island, Canada. I feel as tho I have been on a voyage to Australia! I’m going to start trying the rolling of flowers, leaves etc and on my silk!!!

[@katyp855]

Such a fantastic example of mastery through years of collecting knowledge. Thank you. (I grew up near Wagga Wagga)

[@nazwhal9076]

I love this video , precious knowledge of natural dyeing and her so much 💗💖I cannot thank you enough

[@sweetchildmine08]

What a beautiful lady! Inspirational!

[@marionblake8491]

My first time to dye in more than a square of material. Big fun. Your skills are many and I would be grateful if you would do more videos on each of your lovely dyeing and then on the sewing of garments, slow stitching and the use of wooden buttons and door shavings!! I've been a crafter for many years and unless we use technology, all our work will die out. Bless you.. Marion

[@susanjanemay5713]

Hello from Suffolk, England 🙋🏼 I'm so pleased your video came up on my YT feed, so pleased to have found you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, this is something I've been interested in for a while now. Looking forward to watching all your other videos 😊

[@Jesusismyeverlastinghope]

What a wealth of information! Thank you for sharing. I really like the orange impressions on the wool at the end. Beautiful!

[@virginiaokeeffe5968]

A fantastic film, thank you all. So GOOD to have film about artists in the community. Congratulations again.

[@finetune1031]

Excellent tutorial on natural dyeing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@florys1502]

Sărut mâna, Doamnă. Mulțumesc din suflet pentru tot. Sănătate Vă urez. Doamne Ajută ❤️❤️❤️

[@annasrum6247]

Fantastic video. Thank you. Hugs from Sweden ☀️

[@ylezAma-artes1919]

My this lady is a Goddess with my respect and full admiration of what she knows about dyes. I can not believe how such a beautiful content soooo a small, amount of subscribers.

[@KnittingsAndSewings]

Trudi, I feel like I stepped into your kitchen. Your video lessons are the best. And I love the clothing you have made also. I am a knitter, crocheter, spinner, weaver, and amateur natural dyer. But I make my own clothing out of my handspun/handwoven etc. You inspire me with your living artistry. And I love the way you achieve many of your colors through soaking.

[@christinelubanski9880]

This is a wonderful demonstration. Thank You !

[@brendabaldwin7900]

I just came upon this video and I’m so glad I did. This last few years I’ve been learning so many things we can do with the things we have around us. Growing up in the ‘60’s in San Francisco I am going back to the hippie days and this fits right in with that lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and wisdom!✌️❤️

[@mamaseeds]

Fabulous! We work with small scale projects using organic solutions, but Trudi has been an absolute inspiration for our craft.

[@HandiworksbyClyne]

Wooow it is more beautiful than the synthetic dyes... Wowww I love the products.

[@freedomjam3670]

All so unique & lovely

[@joysmith1213]

The sweater vest Trudi is wearing is so pretty. I'm halfway thru the video, I bet she dyed and rocheted it.

[@Rosie-Malina]

This is fascinating work, fairly simple and creative, very satisfying.. thank you for sharing dear lady. It reminded me of my grandmother also using same easy technique with onion skins when I was a little girl.. meaningful memories revisited ! 🥰

[@violetrose7195]

Thank you for sharing this excellent instruction. It was fascinating to watch the process and to learn how to make individual experiments. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. I also love the mosaic in the kitchen. Thank you

[@pampadovan6212]

Brilliant. Am in awe of your skills. Thanks for sharing so generously.

[@bananazee487]

I love this video! Trudi you are a true creator. I love your clothes, your wooden accessories, your land, and your curious spirit. Thanks for not telling us how to do things but showing us how to be creative. Cheers from Austin, TX

[@magdalena303]

Wow, just wow! I am in awe of your process. Thank you so much for being so very generous and share your vast knowledge and wisdom. I have no idea how you do it all! I am so inspired and will try my hand at natural dyeing.

[@shazmac334]

Lovely presentation - thank you Trudi on sharing your knowledge. Andrew you are truly a master of your craft as this was such a pleasure to watch. Best wishes to you both xxxx Sharon

[@eroscreatives]

Thank you Sharon. Trudi and I appreciate your kind words.

[@grandymommy4531]

Thank you for this beautiful program. I like the idea of natural mordants coming from nature or even rusty nails. I have never done any natural dyeing, except easter eggs, and I find the processes fascinating. I am watching you from far away in the Pacific Northwest of U.S.A. It appears I am here two years after you filmed this program.

[@mariepalmer8475]

Its like a touch of heaven!! Thank you for sharing your natural beautiful creative talents. ;)

[@debbaillie6332]

Thank you. This was a wonderful inspiring video with loads of great info. What a wonderful talent you have Trudi.

[@celestegarcia486]

Thank you!! This was beautiful and inspiring. Trudi touched my heart. She is amazing and her dog is adorable!

[@lindapenny9544]

Thank you Trudi. You are a very generous and creative person. I really enjoyed seeing the whole process including how you stitched the pieces. Just fabulous!!

[@devahnah]

Absolutely loving your connection with nature and the incredible amount of knowledge you have. Thanks so much for sharing Trudi. Seeing the before and after is really inspiring Xxx

[@finelinerin]

Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Mühe! Ein sehr hilfreiches wunderbares Video! Gott behütet Sie🙏🏻🥰

[@sandramyer7081]

Tannin in tea is a mordant

[@sakinahroshidi914]

I love this , planning to start dyeing using local produce in Malaysia! Thank you so much for the lessons

[@orisisorisis6946]

Oh Trudi, eres una gran mentora y sobre todo, una gran mujer. Gracias por transmitirnos tus valiosos conocimientos. He pasado un tiempo muy enriquecedor contigo. Un inmenso abrazo desde México.

[@jenm4721]

Totally amazing!! Thank you so much

[@traditionalcooking8482]

So inspiring .....thank you ....n ysss .there is beauty hiding every where...

[@Amadeus637]

I've been trying to figure out dying wool without using really expensive acid dyes. I really like the lemon trick with the salt and rusty bits. I guess that's about as natural of an acid dye as you can get. Truly inspiring. Also really like sun dying. Being new to dying wool, I'm scared of felting or seizing my yarn and I guess I've been overthinking the "proper" way to dye it. I like this technique because its more foolproof. Thank you for helping me not destroy my wool. lol

[@Toti-b6q]

Gorgeous. Lovely to see this kind of work.Thank you!.

[@marianneknapp4846]

Amazing works of art 🎨❤

[@earth_girl]

So ridiculously inspiring!! Thank you so much Trudi and team for sharing this wonderful knowledge. I live on acreage in Mundaring and have already started my adventures with using a couple of wild oxalis species (pink and yellow), eucalyptus cinerea and many others. Such an exciting skill and craft with endless outcomes. Can't wait to make my own clothing one day with my own hand dyed material.

[@catherineaillerie5134]

Thank you so much for these wonderful videos and for your generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. I am beginning to explore the wonderful world of botanical prints and dyes and learned a lot from you 💕. Thank you

[@evatucker6418]

Everything looks so beautiful what a talent.

[@dorisdaylight8415]

Trudy it is really amazing of the works of art you are achieving with our Aussie plants. I wish I had found you before now as I really love what you have done. I must say you have opened my mind to another dimension of how to be creative in what we have around us. So many thanks and wishing you well.

[@lindaclifton3729]

I adore what you are doing! Cannot wait to try these methods out ! You go girl!

[@lynmontel1724]

Hi Trudi, I am so pleased to have found your podcast... Could you tell me please if the vegetables create Colorfast Dyes? Perhaps this has been mentioned somewhere, as I said Im new here. Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on your knowledge. Lyn xx

[@dplj4428]

Always looking for ways to put less in garbage, make use of. Wild! Avocado dyes. Maybe on water color paper?

[@paulbombardier8722]

What do you use for modents in the non-onion dye pots? And yes, natural dyes are wonderful and give colors that go well together.

[@lindapenny9544]

this piece reminds me of Monet's Garden!

[@eroscreatives]

You are so right! He loved flowers and colour too!
