Materials

The natural dye I've decided to use is Henna. This is why:

• it is readily available and easy to use
  
• i am certain that it does not contain any chemical components (at least my one doesnt)
  
• it can be applied to a wide range of materials - including skin (is that a material?), hair and fabric

I think I am going to use cotton as my material. I've done some research and apparently cotton is the most evenly absorbant fabric to dye. Evidence:

"100% cotton is the best candidate, as it takes colour evenly and predictably."

The chemical dye is T.B.A. Watch this space to find out!
