I decided to experiment with colour by dying fabric with vegetables and plants; onion, red cabbage and dandelion leaves gave the best colour, whilst beetroot was surprisingly temperamental due to it not taking to the fabric.
I found that the colour translated was very tonal, which is something I thought my colour palette during the practice unit was lacking.
I scanned the samples into Photoshop, where I used the colour pick tool to select the colour, creating my colour palette.
