there's something magical about the process of indigo dyeing
I love watching it turn from the green to the blue and how each time you do it, it's always different.  I experimented with a few different fabrics and also the vegetable tan leather.  all with beautiful results.  these fabrics that I dyed will be made into pouches combined with indigo denim.  I hope I have some to show you at the end of the week.

    1. oh you would love it, your little creatures would look great with hits of indigo
      I use to feel that way and I took a natural dye class and that help me get over it.
      the vat is a bit finicky but luckily I have margie to guide me.
