Indigo: Tools of the Trade

Work last week.. setting up our new exhibit on Indigo in Laos.
I discuss indigo often..  .. but it never gets old.. It might be one of my most favorite things ever.

Working on signage.. some shelving to house the gourds (3rd photo) and some dyed cotton skeins to show the range of color indigo is capable of.. more to come soon.
