So now that I'm confident in producing a luscious indigo color I need to focus on how I want to use it. The first imagine people usually have when thinking about indigo is the Shibori technique... surely that's just the tip of the ice berg... right?!

I'd love to have my own indigo vat , I've only used one at a workshop!
ReplyDeleteI'd indigo everything !!
Check out Dharma's site for the pre-reduced crystals! It's very doable :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool results...bet you want to throw everything in the vat now!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to resist...
DeleteI've never tried real indigo, having settled for ProChem's Navy Blue. Your results are spectacular. I love the shirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks! ProChem also offers a premixed indigo dye all ready to go without taking the full blown vat route. It's such a lovely color!
DeleteI think I'm addicted Carol. Maybe I should have stayed clear of the vat!
ReplyDeleteCome to the blue side...
DeleteI really do love indigo but attending to the vat is like a sourdough starter. I get all excited at first and then I forget about it. Unfortunately, I can't stick the indigo dye vat into the freezer!! Lovely fabrics and shirt.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the sourdough starter... we'll see how long my attention span lasts... I do love indigo :) I'd really like to take the process as far as I can!
DeleteThat's beautiful work!
