Published 2003 by Unicorn Books & Crafts ISBN-10 : 0714125652 ISBN-13 : 978-1893063075 Binding: HC; 104 pages -- Approx. size: 8.5 x 9.5 inches * A Superbly informative illustrated reference to natural dyes for amateurs and professionals alike. (Back Cover) Fereday is a dyer and weaver who studies traditional dyeing techniques from around the world. Here, she works with just five of the major historic dyes to show the extensive color array one can create through mixing, overdyeing and mordanting -- 500 shades in all. Yes, color charts present photo swatches of 500 colors created from 5 plants -- madder, indigo, cutch, cochineal and weld. Each of the 500 colors has a corresponding recipe. The recipes use basic techniques explained in the first part of the book, which also introduces the dyeing process, discusses natural dye sources, and how to make dyes from gathered plants and lichens. Everything is presented in a well-laid out, beautifully photographed and printed format. Very nice condition with original jacket. Clean spotless interior. Book as new. Jacket shows only mine handling wear which actually shows under flash of camera. Extremely nice book. Please see and enlarge all photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks! |
