Much cooler today but the indigo vat is still happy.
More dyeing.
The only piece of fabric that had a white base is the blue in the middle, the rest had a yellow base. The yellow is either marigold or buddleia from last year.
For comparison.
Waste not:
I've been adding the indigo rinse water to the paper pulp I've been making (on the left). Some of the pulp has been used for paper sheets and some as "paper clay."
The square on the left has a paper basket as a base and the one on the right has a plastic container as a mold. They both seem to be drying well. I added flour to the paper pulp to make it clay like.
I was inspired by an Instagram post (Sibster) but it's something that has long interested me...
I bought this book which has instructions on paper making and paper mache, along with other paper projects, over thirty years ago.
Somethings just take a lot of time to get to...
