in its raw form: indigo dye
Indigo dye is one of the most startling, inspiring natural dyes, it seems to me. Just found these pictures in an article about the intricate dye-making process, shot by Marie Clérin for the Sept/Oct 2006 Maison Francaise, (one of a number of magazines belonging to a French interiors magazine group, Côté Maison, that I've recently been poring over....)
I don't understand how "blue" ever got to be a word about feeling down. These blues lift me up, up.

Beautiful.
I used to work at a Textile Museum and was blown away by seeing different dyes in their natural form. Indigo was the most striking.
lucky you.... mmm.. would love to work up close with some of these older fabrics.
