blueGreen

thought it was time we made this a real conversation

leaf pounding     Hapa-zome
is good fun

can be even better fun if you ask Judy to help you grow Japanese indigo [Polygonum tinctorium]
or woad [Isatis tinctoria]
both should grow quite well in your area

then when you beat the leaves into cloth they'll change colour
and go blue green


these leaves were a bit old and yellowish, fresher ones do better
