🌿How to dye bones using foraged black walnuts🌿
Black walnuts are abundant in the Midwest, especially here in Madison, WI….Literally most people around here will beg you to take them off of their lawns, and I will happily do so. Not only are they a delicious wild food, their hulls are amazing for dyeing fabrics.…and bones!
This was a super fun project and the second time I’ve dyed bones using black walnuts, but the first time dyeing on an open flame, and now the last time I will EVER dye bones indoors. Not smelling the bones boiling in my house was a game changer.
I was beyond happy with the results this time around, and surprised to find out that despite the hulls and nuts going through a full winter outside, they still produced incredible color. I just love variation in each bone and can’t wait to use these in upcoming jewelry and art projects.

This is something I’ve been wanting to share/solidify for a while. I’ve been resisting change in fear of change. But times are different, I’m different, and I need to stop holding back. As David Bowie said ““Always remember that the reason that you initially started working is that there was something inside yourself that you felt that, if you could manifest in some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you coexist with the rest of society. I think it’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people’s expectations — they generally produce their worst work when they do that. If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right…“
I love you all! 🌿❤️ Kayla
