Indigo Dye: Morocco


Indigo is in the middle 







You buy these by weight in the Pharmacy..where they sell all the remedies and spices for cooking and weird things like ground up frog legs mixed with tea...etc.
They ask you in and all where white lab coats...and then take you into a room with all the potions and of course the Argan Oil. They also have pure oils which smell great..and anything else. They also offer Morocco Viagra...Since I don't need it...I didn't really ask what it is. I think it is a tea??
And in another room they have the dyes. They are 1g for 2dh. which would work out to 25cents a gram..which is a pretty great deal. They are messy. I practiced on paper and various amounts of water. It is like paints..but when dry the powder still falls off.
The colors are much better for fabric. And I am sure with the right amount and playing around for long enough with right solution the amount of different colors from one dye would be beautiful.
