blue indigo





Blue indigo was an important pigment in the history of my country, since prehispanic times, it comes from the plant named jiquilite, during XVIII and XIX century it became the exportation product for excellence, the base of economy! Nowadays, it's a pigment used to dyed all kind of artisanal products, i really love the kind of design you can do with blue indigo!!!
