The cedar turned out such a beautiful rich red! Also I appreciate so much that you learn from actual native people when working with indigenous dye materials, and share knowledge in turn. It feels to me that you approach dyeing and plants and people with great respect.
Wow, thank you. This made my day. We have a lot to learn on the western side from Indigenous views on healing this earth and staying in balance. We’ll need to blend both views to help save our precious blue and green marble. 💕
It’s going to depend on the colours you’re after in terms of the mordants and ratio of bark to fiber. If you can find a downed cedar, you can harvest the bark without fear of harming the tree to experiment with.
Beautiful work
Awesome video - thanks so much!

That pry bar looks like a beekeeper's hive tool to me!
Oh interesting!!! I wasn’t sure what it was. That makes sense!
Wow I can’t believe the beautiful red you get!
It was amazing!
I'm looking for information on turning cedar bark into dye but I can't find any sign of it on google!!!!
