Here are some other attempts at natural dying. The colours were produced by logwood for the darkest (although it's really a very dark purple), elderberries for the dark pink and raspberry for the light pink. The browns are walnut husks and oak bark. The very bright orange just peeking out was produced by onion skins. All these have an alum and cream of tartar mordant.
