Natural Color: Vibrant Plant Dye Projects for Your Home and Wardrobe by Sasha Duerr. Photography by Aya Brackett. Watson-Guptill Publications, 2016. Nonfiction.Both a coffee table book and a textbook, this gorgeous work will enhance the work of all home textile creators. Projects include useful items like table runners, pillowcases, curtains, hats, napkins, mittens and such. Arranged by the seasons, the projects and many plants are beautifully illustrated in full color, full page illustrations. The book is filled with information about dyeing, mordants, common plants that yield unexpectedly beautiful colors. A bibliography, index, and glossary are helpful additions. Duerr has great passion for her topic and writes in a clear manner. I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
