My obsession with this color started last summer when I visited a creative art center in Taipei. There was a young girl at the centre selling clothes that she hand printed that had indigo blue designs on them. I wanted to buy a shirt from her, but Taipei clothing sizes does not fit a 5 foot 9in women very well! I have been dying to try this method for the past two months but the timing was never right but last Sunday afternoon the conditions were perfect- no wind and a hot blazing sun. I painted a wash on the pillow case a pressed a variety of foliage that I found around my yard. After letting it sit for two hours, I then took off the foliage. I was really surprised at the detail that I was able to get with such a simple procedure. I was really beautiful!
