Silk habutae dyed with Indigo and natural dyes. Some samples were overdyed using differentresists for each dye bath. Natural dyes used were: Australian Eucalypt leaves, Cootamundra wattle leaves and the leaf of another wattle species. Mordants used were: Alum with wattle (soft yellow colour); copper with one wattle species and iron with the eucalypt leaves. This produced soft yellow to dark brown/black effects. Indigo overdyed with natural dye using Eucalyptus produced a rich yet subtle dark brown colour.
