this was the closest i could get to dark brown and it's more a purple brown
so i ordered browns and blues which i'm missing
the other colors you can see here
the next step is how to dye with indigo and woad
and after that how to get a nice dip
in the meantime i'm working on a prototype ....
here you can see a clip of the process of making woad colorants/pigments in france
so nice
and textile magicians
this weekend i've got something really nice coming up
i'll tell you more tomorrow
( have to find some pictures to illustrate it)

:)) it makes me happy you find it yummy too , spent hours in the kitchen...
Hi! It really is just a hint of purple which to me gives it something very lively. Love your work and have been doing so (quite passively) for quite a while now. Nice!
So enjoying seeing these colours transforms themselves, and the pieces you are dying!
love your experiment. have you ever tried to dye with poppies? it makes a gorgeous grey. of course it is very expensive!
Hi Jo nice to meet you , i saw you just started your own blog and yes i like the hint of purple too i'll try to recreate that without the use of iron.
