However, I still have a good handful of the colour recipes that I can do fairly easily. I haven't gone through the black/grey ones yet.
I'll need to do some research on where I can get the ingredients I need, but for the time being, here's my shopping list:
Ripe buckthorn berries
Gum arabic
Live lime
Litharge of gold
Walnut oil
Woad
Sweet lye
Some of these will make duplicate recipes. So, for example, the ingredients listed would make two or three different blue recipes so I can compare and see which one I like best for specific purposes.
I have woad plants growing in my garden.
ReplyDeleteCool! I'l probably start with commercial "natural" powdered pigments ince it will save me some effort in extracting the colours. But, I'll keep that in mind. :)
