Dreamy Dyes & Dietlind Wolf
With Easter on the horizon, these egg dyeing ideas seemed appropriate to post today, especially with Spring in the air and because these are not your typical ways to use dye for Easter. As a side point, I was so thrilled to learn yesterday that I’ll soon be having lunch with the Dietlind Wolf, as arranged behind-the-scenes by a good friend of mine here in Germany so I was taken by surprise and I can’t wait. I’ve been a fan of this German stylist for ages so to meet her soon in person makes my heart leap. We’ve been in contact for awhile now but never met in person so this will be an absolutely lovely moment in time for me. Plus, I hope to convince her to work with me on a project here in Germany so I’ll let you know of my idea very soon!
In thinking about delightful Dietlind today, I found these gorgeous images from her blog that appear in the April issue of German interiors magazine, Schoener Wohnen. Aren’t these incredibly inspirational? She is responsible for the concept and styling while the photography was done by the great Julia Hoersch.
I love that Dietlind explored the idea of dyeing Easter eggs and thought to not stop with only the eggs but to dye the dinnerware and tablecloth as well to give the table a more watercolor-y look, almost like a spring dress off of a Parisian runway. This is completely brilliant!

So pretty! I have tried and failed over the past few years to do something creative for Easter. May have to try again!

Can’t get enough of watercolour recently but I love that she’s done it with bold and rich brights while keeping it delicate! Beautiful!

Chicago is having a record breaking heat wave, so it feels like summer. So it is fun to see these beautiful representatives of spring.
Fondly,

Lovely stuff. It reminds me a little of the photography of Laura Letinsky…

Oh my goodness….this is one of the prettiest features I’ve seen in awhile. What a wonderful use of white against the color dyes. Hoping you can enjoy your time with Dietlind as much as I think you’re going to! :)

You get to not only meet Dietland but also potentially collaborate together? Lucky woman…at least we will get to live vicariously through your subsequent blog posts.
Her styling is so fresh and different. I have a Pinterest board for food styling shots and after a while it all starts to look the same. Hurray for inspiration!

I love the tablecloth! I imagine using the same one for Easter projects each year, how interesting the outcome would be.
