“and do not try to match a color of the past.
this is a new day.
this is a new plant.
the colours that come forth are many,
none will be the same
and each that comes is good”
noel bennett
“the discovery and use of natural dyes and pigments contributed to the maintenance of the age-old bond between humankind and nature
and could now help to revive and enhance it.
natural dyes and colorants are an essential part of the world’s ecological and cultural heritage;
their selection and use are common to all civilizations.”
