Red Tent Silk

Every woman needs to take time for self care, especially at the time of her moon. These silks have been dyed with love and intention as ceremonial cloths to be used for a self care ritual. Perhaps you might enjoy crafting a tiny tent in the yard, to let your imagination rest, or perhaps wrap your belly in a snug comforting band, use as an altar cloth, or wear on your moon days as a reminder to yourself to be gentle to yourself during your powerfully energetically open period.

All of the dye plants used to create this luscious color are powerful and healing. Madder Root - the queen of red dyes has long been used to sooth menstrual discomfort, Warming Yarrow helps us hold energetic boundaries, and has been used to regulate our menses, Generous Red Alder who can support our digestion, and help let go of all that does not serve, and a splash of homemade blackberry wine - to remind us that it is okay to have protective thorns, so that we might better savor our sweetness.

All of the dyes we use in the studio are some combination of the traditional botanical dyes of commerce, dyes we grow and those foraged near our home on the Oregon Coast. Plants, minerals and even a few insects lend their beauty to the materials in a full rainbow of hues. We are committed to earth friendly practices, using rainwater as much as possible, and only non-toxic substances as part of the process. Creating colors that will bring brighten your day for many years to come. Wearing garments colored with Earth based dyes, and patterned with plants using allows you to bring the natural world with you where ever you are.
