Garment Resurrection: Sustainable Natural Dye Upcycling

This top arrived with several black stains. I saw it as a creative challenge, first mordanting it with pomegranate peel dye and then using eco-impression printing to turn the spots into a beautiful, intentional design.

This is my 'Resurrect' service in action. You can bring me an old garment, and I will give it back to you as a newly re-dyed, healthier version of itself, perfect for extending the life of your wardrobe.
