Convenience is a big factor - When I tried making vegetable dyes, although it was fun, it took days and I had to grind them for hours to get the right consistency. And if the consistency wasn't right, it would form lumps on the painting!! I used them on paper for traditional painting but never tried them on fabric. But the deep colors looked really nice on paper, could never quite get the same shades with the store bought ones.Deekshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192933035200989190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299103343739173261.post-23280829647523861152013-07-09T21:40:06.414-07:002013-07-09T21:40:06.414-07:00 Thanks Vasudha, Vidya, Amrita and Deeksha.
Deeksh... Thanks Vasudha, Vidya, Amrita and Deeksha.<br />Deeksha : Printing with vegetable dyes has decreased in popularity with the introduction of chemical- colour fast dyes. I do not know what process of coloration they follow at Anokhi for their garments , I suspect it is almost entirely chemical. At the museum we used chemical dyes too. These days only a handful of dyers use the traditional vegetable dyes. I think that is unfortunate, but like everything else, convenience and durability comes into play with dyeing technology as elsewhere. <br />Must be amazing extracting colour out of natural substances ! Do you use these to paint on fabric?<br />Chandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683189926836847885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299103343739173261.post-27705165258216245582013-07-09T13:05:20.009-07:002013-07-09T13:05:20.009-07:00Love this!!

I have always wanted to try my hand at block printing - ever since I saw a demo many years back in Jaipur. Love the way you have narrated the process.. By the way, did you work with vegetable dyes? Few years back I learnt the technique of making vegetable dyes for paintings, wanted to know if this is similar.
