@daftpatience 's Woad the Faerie

My second (third) attack this year! She's a cutie what the hell! Her bouquet has yellow woad blossoms, shepherd's purse, and forget-me-nots. She's a damselfly faerie, and she's trans!! Happy ArtFight<3

34,000-Year-Old Indigo Residue Turns Up in Georgian Cave | Artnet News

Researchers from the Ca' Foscari University of Venice have discovered traces of indigo on Paleolithic stone tools.

This I find fascinating, that paleolithic peoples used woad to make indigo is significantly more technically advanced than previously thought.

Adventures in Woad dyeing.

[dabblingreturns]

When I was maybe 11, I read/listened to "gathering blue" by Lois Lowery. It's a great post apocalyptic book about dyeing (fabric)

Anyways the book was about, among other things, finding a naturally occurring blue dye.

That dye turned out to be woad. And I remember that I was suprized it wasn't indigo. Which is a much more famous naturally occurring blue dye.

Now 25 year on a famous in death of social media hell, I am no longer suprized that the blue dye was woad. The story simply wouldn't have worked if it required both the plant and the dyemaking instructions.
