Pacific Madrone Bark
The Pacific Madrone is a fabulous broad-leafed evergreen. That means it retains it rich green throughout the year, but has leaves rather than needles. They are truly beautiful and make the most wonderful silhouettes around the forest’s edge.
Every summer the bark starts sloughing off, sometimes in big curls, like it is begging you to use it. So I do.
Madrone bark is one of those special materials that fills many roles, such as:
Dye- Excellent, tannin-rich dye with very warm, red-browns. This can be used on wool, linen, cotton, or silk.
Ink- The ink I’ve made is reminiscent of a sun-kissed maiden. Check it out here
Tea- Not only can you have a spicy, earthy cup of tea, but you can also make gorgeous Tea Eggs!
We’re even trying it in our soaps. It is not only a natural colorant, but the astringent qualities make it great for skin care and tightening up those pores.
Sold in modest 1/2 oz. packages perfect for a batch of Tea Eggs or other small projects. The bark is very thin and incredibly dry so a half ounce is probably more than you’re expecting.
