Last week I found this unexpected treasure in my garden - a blackbird's egg. It is the most delightful shade of blue, speckled with light brown spots. The colour combination resonates with me and I find it cropping up in my work all the time. Here is a sample of dye/print/devore work that I did a couple of years ago. It's silk/viscose georgette that has been acid dyed with pale blue and then Procion dyed with weak rust colour. The dyes has been selectively stripped out with devore paste and discharge paste which has left complex layers of colour.
