“Ode to the Cerulean Warbler” – 100% Eco-Dyed Cotton, Double-Sided Drawstring Bag

One of my favorite products to make and look at to date, creating this bag was a true labor of love.

After soaking in a simmering bath of garden-sourced botanical dye for two days, this blush-colored bag has been permanently stained using a recipe of rose petals, cosmos, sunflowers, and avocado pit. Once dyed, I used a wooden mallet to firmly pound the pigmented petals of backyard sunflowers, coreopsis, black-eyed Susan, and marigolds onto one side of the bag. The other side of the bag displays a hand-carved, pressed, and embroidered print of one of my favorite birds, the Cerulean Warbler.

Perfect for daytrips, hiking adventures, or to stylishly stash your essentials while traveling, this bag would also make a great alternative to single-use plastic grocery bags. Versatile and one-of-a-kind, I hope this bag is as joyful to use as it was to make.

Please note: All orders are dispatched within 1-3 working days, protected in a cellophane sleeve and posted in a board-backed envelope. If you intend your purchase to be a gift, just say the word! Gift-giving is one of my primary love-languages, so it warms my heart to help facilitate that process for others.

Title: “Ode to the Cerulean Warbler”
Material: 100% Eco-Dyed, Hand-Printed Cotton
Garment Care: Made with love, wash with care! Part of the beauty and whimsy of natural dyes is that their color may change in time. Hand-washing with cold water and pH neutral soap is recommended to best preserve the integrity of each garment. Store out of reach of the sun’s rays to prevent further fading.

Fun Fact: Due to forest fragmentation, the Cerulean Warbler’s population is dropping faster than any other warbler species in the United States. Between 1966 and 1999, the Cerulean Warbler experienced a total population loss of 70%. Luckily, hope is not lost and there is much we can do in protecting this wee-winged creature. For starters, trash the pesticides and let the birds focus on pest control. While you’re at it, why not start a compost pile out back for those kitchen scraps you’ve been trashing? Two birds, one stone.
