Resume your study with master natural dyer Michel Garcia in Oaxaca, Mexico, where he explores dyeing traditions of Latin America in depth. Breaking down traditional methods in his signature style, Michel explains how to achieve red, blue, and yellow natural dyes using sustainable methods on wool fibers including some mentions of yak, alpaca, camel, and goat.

Includes in-depth explorations of mordanting covering alum, aluminum as a bio-accumulator, and tannins; extracting indigo pigment, brewing a vat using fruit skins, and dyeing black and brown on wool; recreating "pre-Columbian nanotechnology" Maya Blue pigment; dyeing yellow with pomegranate, fustic, and lengua de vaca; green shades with indigo; mixed orange shades with lengua de vaca, fustic, cochineal, and silver cochineal; violets and browns with logwood; purple shades with cochineal and indigo; black shades without ferrous components; beige and brown shades with sapote negro. Plus visits to local Oaxacan sites including the Ethnobotanical Garden, Textile Museum, and the Chavez and Mendoza family weavers.

Cute but not hinged at arms
Color: Porcini Tortoise, Size: 52-17-140
They were cute. I didn’t like that they weren’t hinged. They were harder to open and close. I didn’t look for this feature before I purchased.
