✷ BONUS TUTORIAL- AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO PRINT WITH INDIGO (Without the need for synthetic chemicals or a hammer !) Steam EcoPrinting with Indigo Leaves: Indigo will stubbornly NOT make a bond with mordanted cloth like the majority of all other natural dye compounds that bind eagerly with alum, iron, etc. So I have created a new innovative method that is all natural (& requires no synthetic chemicals), to effectively make clear blue prints from indigo with the steam EcoPrinting process!!

✷ This technique is different from the labor intensive technique of hammer printing indigo leaves (Tatakizome) and allows the natural dye artist to make dozens of leaf prints at once, covering yards of fabric at a time with much less effort than hammer printing. This full detailed step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process & set you up for making the blue indigo prints of your dreams.
