Jane my interest has been reignited in using plants after seeing the moving film “nettle dress “ which follows one man’s journey to overcome grief by collecting many bundles of nettles & stripping the leaves and using the inner part of the stalk to eventually make cloth on a loom to produce a dress in memory of his wife , a great mindfulness thought provoking film !
Isn’t it a beautiful film. I was lucky enough to see it when passing through London last year - right time, right place for a show where the people involved were interviewed. So glad you got to see it Gill. X
Im looking forward to more natural dyeing and eco printing . You always bring calm to my day with lots of creative inspiration. I dont have Sweet cicely growing here but lots of cow parsley and bracken. I have started knitting a patchwork cardigan with all the colours .....nettle, daffodil, rosebay willowherb and Avocado. I will share it in the forum . 😊
Aren’t they great - I am a great sucker for drawers of all kinds but often I can’t remember what I have put in them. With these though it’s easy to see.
Hello Jane, I just wanted to thank you for all the beauty you share - from your gorgeous crafts to your gorgeous surroundings. Your videos give me comfort and a real sense of well-being. I feel my severe dyspraxia prevents me from being a talented creative but I’ve definitely got the mindset for the lifestyle. Please could I ask where you shop for your beautiful clothes? The colours of your pinafores and the botanical prints are just divine xx
Thank you Rachel. What a lovely comment. My clothes are mainly by Toast - there is a good second hand supply of them and I know my size! - I like that the seasons all go together with them. And by the way I am absolutely sure that you will find a creative outlet to fit around your dyspraxia- often it’s just a case of finding out what it is. A young friend with dyspraxia found that needle felting was something that she loves to do which surprised me, but her creations are lovely and whimsical. J x
Jane you have such lovely ideas for the Studio Club. I’m enjoying trying them all. Very pleased to hear you can use ground elder as a dye plant. It will be good to look at it with different eyes as it’s a real pain in my garden.
I am only an occasional TH-cam watcher of you - more later when life allows it. I find it is a problem keeping pressed flowers safe. So I rally like your storage option. I am trying to figger out one for myself.

I wonder where I can see that film. Am in the U.S. Will hunt for it.
@@magdastar2249 I think it is now on Netflix, at least it is in the UK. If you search The Nettle Dress you should find it. X
@@snapdragonlife Thank you. 👍
Great video. Thank you. Your channel will definitely grow. 👍❤️🌿💐🌿

That sounds amazing Tania. Please do share it in the forum. Bracken is an amazing dye plant. One of my favourites. J x
I love those drawers for the pressed flowers! That idea is perfection! It's like a cabinet of joy.

What a talented lady you are. This was wonderful to watch
Thank you so much Carolyn. I’m really glad that you enjoyed watching. X

Thank you. I do love the idea of reframing what are often seen as problem plants. Bracken is an amazing dye plant too. X
Such a beautiful film, Jane. ❤Hope you have a really lovely weekend 🌿
Thank you Kathryn. And I hope that you have a wonderful weekend too. J x

It is a difficult one. I have previously kept them in those fold out cardboard mailers that books are sometimes sent in.
