benibana chronicles III

 finally got to the red part. no matter how much you think you've rinsed the yellow there's still more to wash away.

 

some pretty yellow dyeing on silk

but the soft red and peach are my pride and joy.

so is this other one kind of pink-red. all with a little help from my friend's notes.

i am enjoying the chemistry behind so much that i want to continue with benibana. still want to achieve reds. no wonder the japanese specialise in just one dyeas there's so much to learn. we occidentals are born dabblers (╯︵╰,) or i should speak for myself.

looking to buy a kg of benibana, so far it's either india or uk. anyone in europe ?? please??
