I found a bunch of fallen black walnuts. I will link the location
Black walnuts can give a black or dark gray dye.

Found lots of buckthorn (with berries!) to the north-east of Maison Smith on Mont-Royal, as well as a lot of fallen birch logs, a bit of goldenrod and a few acorns if you follow the little path going into the woods. Lots of staghorn sumac on the roadside between Maison Smith and Lac-des-castors as well! Happy foraging :)

Heads up: Canadian tired has a portable hotplate for 14.99 it works well! Secondhand is ideal of course but if you are struggling to find one like i was, it is a very accessible pricepoint for brand new.

Found on Glen Rd (St-Henri) between rue St-Catherine and rue St-Jacques

# data[].attributes.body
they are growing everywhere at the champs des possibles but there’s very few yellow flowers left (still enough for a little bouquet but most of them already turned brown)

# data[].attributes.body
These are right around the Place St-Henri metro station, but are fruiting everywhere right now!

I received this book for Christmas and it is so interesting. Creativity,
consciousness, local dying, natural rythm and contemplative textile art. I love it ! @jel stankovic I think you would like it :D

# data[].attributes.body
This is a robe I made for my art history class "Near Eastern Art and Architecture". I replicated it using materials that could have been found 5000 years ago, i.e madder, berries, and alum.

Wish I’d done this before the final project but in case people are looking for potentially more eco friendly dyeing, here’s the salt rub method:

Posted this to the fb group but for the folks not there, here it is!

I was gifted this book. I've taken pictures of the table of contents, the index, references, and pretty extensive tables of where you can find colours in nature, which you can find here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u8OkDoJZ1OZPy-N6NXUNk5L_HauENO96?usp=sharing

In the spirit of pretending we're together to share resources, if you'd like any info from the book let me know!

Here’s my bundles before the modifiers! (Counter-clockwise) Got some goldenrod, elderberry, madder, acorns, madder overdye on goldenrod. The acorn dye is something my troubleshooting to get a deeper colour.

I found this amazing website that has a map of the city with the locations marked of different types of trees. Could be very helpful for anyone interesting in tree dye!

# data[].attributes.body
If anyone is interested here’s a picture of some indigo samples I made a few years ago. Just an example of the variety of shade you can get from multiple dips! This was one strip of cotton that was dipped, and then I cut a square, dipped again, cut etc...

# data[].attributes.body
Here’s my bath after straining, check out that colour!

# data[].attributes.body
So I did followed the overdye instructions for the madder but didn’t get an even dye and I’m not sure why! Should I dye it again? Or is this alright? All my other dyes seem to be even and consistent

# data[].attributes.body
You can find sumac, goldenrod, and this type of daisies. It’s  Marie Lynda, I don't know how or where to put my name!,,

I found a channel that has some really good dye tutorials! I followed this one to make black bean dye but I swapped black beans for dark red kidney beans.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I found this interesting seemingly-passive dyeing with rusty things (as we’ve all been thinking about rusty things)

# data[].attributes.body
Trying some nettle (that we picked super carefully with gloves) dye via solar method! I’ve seen online that it gives almost a mint green colour - excited to see if that translates through solar dyeing. Gonna leave it as long as possible!

# data[].attributes.body
Also I was lucky to get to walk through this goldenrod meadow a few weeks ago in Rougemont! Next summer, it’s gonna be a lot of goldenrod dye and tea 🌾

# data[].attributes.body
And thousands of acorns (this is a few of them 🙃)

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of fallen branches, leaves, and bark up at Summit Forest park thing!

# data[].attributes.body
The pure stuff 💯! I mixed this very fine powder at a ratio of 300 gm soy 🍃to 700 mL water🚰 to achieve a frothy soy milk for my soy mordant

# data[].attributes.body
Would be fantastic as a natural tannin mordant & also can be used in mordant printing (more soon in week 7!) Found at Korean & Japanese grocery on St. Catherine near rue Atwater

# data[].attributes.body
Again, most often found in gardens, so ask permission to harvest

# data[].attributes.body
Found in public gardens along canal near Atwater. Often grown in gardens—if you see some consider asking the gardener if you might cut a few stalks for natural dyeing.

# data[].attributes.body
Stalks & pods are beginning to dry out this time of year, so it’s a good time to harvest

# data[].attributes.body
Westmount Park, but I see it along Canal, too. Very common as landscaping plant. The black seed pods might give different dye color than the fresh leaves

# data[].attributes.body
This bunch was found on canal Lachine near Atwater. Notice all the dried plant parts… Perfect for gathering and ethical harvesting
