Rose-petal curtains. Shibori-patterned pillows. A chunky wool blanket dip-dyed with blue spruce. In Natural Color: Vibrant Plant Dye Projects for Your Home and Wardrobe (Watson-Guptill, 2016; $30), artist and designer Sasha Duerr has produced one of the year’s loveliest coffee-table tomes. Although Duerr grows much of what she uses, she also encourages gathering from the wild, whether it be wood sorrel, fennel, or the bark of eucalyptus trees. “The [projects] I’ve chosen for this book were curated to elevate weeds, waste, and common everyday plants,” Duerr writes. “Working with [them] invites authentic storytelling—of people, plants, and place.”
