Day 3/365
For a few weeks now I’ve been playing around with paper dying using indigo. But before I started using real indigo I did many tests with watercolour paints (indigo-colour, of course) and I wanted to share some of my favourites with you.
I cannot stop thinking of blue and white ceramics when I look at this one, the pattern is lovely!
The resulting papers are lovely but they just aren’t the same depth and richness of colour as true indigo-dyed papers. I’ll go over some of the things I made with the true indigo dyed papers in a few days. And at some point in the future I’ll do a post about the actual hand-dying process and how messy/fun it really is!!

I am interested in purchasing a few sheets of indigo dyed paper for writing mantra on. It would have to be solid with no pattern other than what naturally occurs. Is thi possible? Sincerely, Mark Fasi.
Hi Mark,
Yes, I have some sheets with solid colour, no pattern. It’s such a lovely shade, I couldn’t resist making a few just to showcase the indigo colour itself!
I’d love to sell you a few sheets, send me an email at: sproutspress@yahoo.ca and we can figure the details.
Sincerely,
Carolyn ~ Sprouts Press
