Gingerbread Man in homemade cherry tree leaf natural dye
Gingerbread Man in homemade cherry tree leaf natural dye
This is an extra special batch made from homemade natural dye from cherry tree leaves just by our front door in our house and studio in Belfast. It has been made with love and care and the result is the most beautiful gingery orangey rust shade. In tune with out slow making, we collected the leaves fetching them from the ground underneath our 100 year old pink flowering cherry tree, washed them, boiled them up, steeped the vintage linen in them back in Fall of 2023 and then sent them to our embroiderers who take a few months to carefully stitch our designs, these have now been sorted and listed for this coming festive season 2024. Almost a year in the making. A truly unique piece to cherish or gift. Unlike a commercially dyed fabric, if you look closely you will see variations in the subtly mottled colour-tone, it really is exquisite.
Luxury artisan ornaments created from a source of recycled, sustainable Irish Linen. We use a mixture of vintage, local mill headstock rolls from one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, repurposed antique tablecloths, and off cuts from our own cushion making.
We love our designs and hope you do too- all our embroidered ornaments are fully copyrighted internationally to Katie Larmour.
