my dye studio and our organic farm is rooted in unceded maidu land in the northern califrnia foothills equidistant to grass valley and chico. i grow and sell natural dye plants, seeds and start and teach group workshops and one on one in my gardens and outdoor studio. i sell locally and regionally at events and markets and ship worldwide here on my website. my sweet child is the inspiration for this botanical dye collection and the farm where he was born, our sustainable Indigo Dream Farm .:. my journey growing these earthly colors from seed to make into organic plant dyes is an extraordinary love story telling the ongoing evolution of my personal artistic expression as a sentient being. as i grow along with The Rainbow Elements, continually unfolding and ever blooming. i am branching out and expanding on my passions for sustainability, conservation, regenerative farming, organic gardening, permaculture, interior & exterior design, sustainable fashion, herbalism, art, magic, dream weaving and consciously sowing intentions for a greener future. the plants that make the colors of these dyes are growing on the land where i gave birth to my son almost 6 years ago ✨ thank you so much for supporting my small woman owned farm and business, sustainability, and the vision for greener future for all sentient beings of the earth , human, feather, fin and fur.
I began making the first collection of The Rainbow Elements because I wanted natural bedding for my sensitive skin and a greener alternative to polyester microplastics or sheets made with cotton conventionally grown and sprayed with harmful chemicals like pesticides. bedding free of pollutants and toxins. the medicinal dyes are co-creations of many experiments of our own enjoyment... the desire for organic plant based necessities for feeling at ease at home or in your travels with soothing medicinal plants colors grown organically with love. on organic cloth from ethical + sustainable textile sources . then a dream of collaboratively crafting a greener future essentially became The Rainbow Elements. my love grows and so stoked to share this natural spark of imagination with flowers, trees, plants that we live symbiotically with, we are learning from & developing close connections to the plants + love linking with you awesome people who also love plant magic.
