A selection of my indigo experiments
On the right is a piece of linen knit with a light indigo dip
and a squish of terminalia catappa
to the left and centre
is a wool knit
both cold/solar dyed with the terminalia catappa
the one on the left over dyed with indigo
Up the top is another piece on the linen knit
made into string after
a good long soak in the indigo
underneath it is a woven square of
nettle fibre
indigo soaked
and last but not least
in the very centre
3 found fish bones
after an indigo dip
I am loving my
open air
fructose lime pot.

You're on a roll Trace. I LOVE indigo. Bought some indigo dyed table runners in Vietnam. Apparently they set the dye in baby's urine. They sure ponged like that...not after a was tho'.
I am not setting in urine. I have tried a urine vat and it does stink now i just stick with sugar and lime much friendlier. And if I need more stickability I shall do an after soak in soy.
these look divine, trace, you're always up to something so interesting!
