A3 Books Colour Splendour with Herb Power

Vegetable dyeing and herbal medicine are older than the road to Rome. Yet there is still much to discover on both fronts, and it becomes even more interesting when you combine the two. This is precisely what textile artisan Marijke Eering and herbal expert Marjanne Huising have done. With this book, they take you on a magical and inspiring journey into the land of herbs (perennial and wild plants, trees, and garden herbs). Of course, they discuss the colour palette of the various herbs, how to dye wool and fabrics, for example, and how to create magic with eco-printing. But there is and can be so much more!

For this book, Marijke and Marjanne selected herbs that not only give a beautiful colour or an intriguing eco-print but also have a healing effect on body and mind. For each herb, they discuss what it looks like, when to harvest or gather it, which parts to use, how to process it, what colour(s) it gives, what influence that colour has on you, and what else you can do with it. The many recipes are for dye baths, medicinal purposes, or simply for pleasure. Sustainability, wonder, knowledge, healing, curiosities, experimenting, and fun are just some of the ingredients of colour splendour with herb power.
