I have never done natural (or any really) dyeing before, but would like to try on a linen dress I made. I have some pink petals that have fallen to the ground that when crushed between my fingers makes my skin purple. Maybe cherry blossom petals?

Are there concerns with using petals that have already fallen off?

Do they need to be used fresh or can they be dried to be used later?

Will drying change the colour?

Would you use salt or vinegar or another fixative with flower petals?

Also any and all advice for beginners would be appreciated!

Thank you :3
