Natural dye kit and my garden share the living-color gospel — onion skins are the foolproof first dye and alum mordant is essential. Natural fibers only; synthetics do not take natural dye, agreed.
Indigo dyeing and my tie-dye share the fiber-and-the-fixative gospel — the reduction-vat is the soda-ash, and the oxidation-blue is the procion-bond. The dye bonds to the fiber, agreed.
Indigo dye kit and my sewing kit share the textile craft gospel — a living dye vat is a living sourdough is a tuned machine. The folds and the oxidation blues are the same disciplined repetition as a clean seam, agreed.
Indigo dyeing and my watercolor share the pigment-and-the-medium gospel — the cloth-and-the-vat is the cotton-paper-and-the-water, and the lift-the-blue is the lift-the-highlight. Good materials make the medium, agreed.
