Textile Dye Swatches// Indigo & Madder root



I got my Jersey fabric and I also picked up some linen to show the slight changes in color on different materials. I also learned that neither indigo, madder root, or alkanet root dissolve in water (or else the reds and blues would have been much more intense) so i'll need to try them again using a stronger agent to extract the color. 

I also bought resist as a mode to pattern some of the textiles, and was inspired by some shibori techniques I came across (Liv, you might like this too).
