Nightfall Tam






This is a traditional tam design with the central star but I've added extra stars around the body and used minimal colours - just the natural black and white and some madder and lichen to aim for a late evening look.

Gorgeous. Your natural dyes and colour choices are just beautiful. Can't wait to see the next one.

Beautiful design and a lovely combination of colors! Which color is produced by the lichen?

Thanks for the encouragement.
The lichen is the paler mauvey colour but as Doespins could tell you there is a quite a range of colours possible from this type of lichen. It can be reused many times and finally gives yellows when the purples and pinks are exhausted.
