A palette of natural dye colors.
A palette of natural dye colors. Along the irrigation ditches in the sawa there is a prolific ground cover called widelia Mr. Morimoto from Wisdom From the Forest project showed me this plant and its usefulness as a source for natural dye color
He suggested that I try many different leaves from the garden, cooking them down to render the colorant. This plant I have not yet identified but it grows profusely in my garden in Central Java and produces a lovely blue-grey color w Silk scarves colored in natural dyes obtained garden plants, then designs applied with wax by brush
These colors were all produced from plants found in my garden. Scarves colored again in a cold natural dye bath, the wax removed in boiling water. Bamboo motif applied with melted wax and a brush.
Multiple dips into an indigo dye bath produce very rich deep colors. The cloth is immersewd into the indigo vat, then removed to oxidize. My garden in the rainy season.
