How to tea dye wabi sabi mixed media books

In this video, I share how I use black tea to dye mixed media books I make with fabric, papers, thread and fibers. I show how you can dip whole books in tea or single pieces of fabric or paper. I love this technique because it invites in the ancient, natural healing energies of tea into the practice of creating books in addition to changing the aesthetic of the materials.

Great results Emma. Tea dyeing is so simple that it is easy to forget what good results you can achieve.

Thank you, Leonie. It really is so simple, I'm amazed at what can happen with just a short dip in some black tea.

I make little bundles and put them in a black tea bath for 24 hours and I get the most amazing shapes to stitch on. With paper is also amazing. I’ve never tried stitched pieces or books, though, and I must try that ❤️💛💙🧡💜🖤💚💗♥️
