Adventures with Phaseolus Vulgaris ...

Jam jars full of potions and collecting bugs … I could be 7 years old again.  

Butterfly books sewn and covered with linens coloured with  black bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris ) dye …

    1. Thank you! I'm not sure how light fast the black bean dye is ... but it seemed a shame not to make a couple of sample books ... looking forward to making some more later this year. K x
