some work done



i have not had any luck with ratanjot, a medicinal powder also used in indian cookery.  there's some confussion as some sources cite it as alkanet  and others as a different species other than alkanna tinctoria.
 anyhow i havent been lucky with either. used the alkanet from germany and got the same cat doodoo color 💩💩 i got from ratanjot.



cat doo doo overdyed with benibana.





tried addind washing soda to shift the color and there was no result. and my dears life's getting short and i wanted a purple. how did i get it? logwood overdye! infallible logwood which will be treated with a dash of iron to make it more lightfast .this project will not last the test of time bcse i am using benibana and logwood     ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯ 
 
august is done. it's been long hot and uncomfortable.looking forward to september amuch more people friendly month.
