I've been waiting for a very long time to dye with natural indigo. Yesterday, the weather and the mood, seemed quite right.
After preparing the dye, I tied the linen fabric, A. did the same with a couple of tank tops, we dipped all and watched the magical process.
Now I just need to work those materials into something nice and useful.

Gorgeous, all of it. Loving the process, as you can imagine. Thanks for sharing the beauty ! xoxo
Thank you Sonia, looking forward to see your next dyes. x
indigo has such a beautiful deep blue tone and shades of it, i've always wanted to try it! i nearly did a few years ago for a project,but i went with cyanotype and flowers on fabric instead. i thought it will make less of a mess than indigo, but it was super messy! hope one day i can try indigo dyeing too.
I love this so much! Beautiful work Alessandra, just beautiful :) Kx
so beautiful!
Thank you Aniko never mind the mess, have fun
