Cow Dung & Madder Roots

Here is my layout for Paige Evans' SKETCH OF THE WEEK - 18th March 2024 challenge. The sketch is given on the facebook group page, along with a youtube video. You share your layout on the page, to be put in a random draw to win the challenge. There is also a downloadable file for cutting the petals.

I chose these photos of the Madder Roots Cows, in Shenstone Park, in Crayford where I used to live. The park is opposite the site of the now disused David Evans Silk Works. Cow dung and madder roots were used for dying the silk. The roots giving the orange colour and the dung helping to set the dye.

 

I used:
Basic Grey - Hopscotch collection papers, alphabet stickers and element stickers
Basic Grey - Wholy Cow Rub-ons
Black marker pen
Distress Inks
Cricut

Thanks for looking
