lyanne batik turning to natural dyes, warna alam

yes 2007 was also the time when we at lyanne batik, decided that beginning 2008, we will move to the use of natural dyes to replace all this nasty synthetic dyes, beginning with indigo for the colour blue. we started planting the indigo and anato in august 2007,with seeds brought by one of the foremost natural dye expert in the world, bapak sopandi from indonesia. bapak sopandi has been with us since then, and together with our inhouse plant expert, both types of plant are now proliferating nicely within our nursery in kampung pulau meranti. the indigo has even been cultivated and indigo cake was successfully produced for the first time in malaysia we will gradually use natural dye and expect to be fully natural by mid year. we understand penyayang has obtained grants from mosti to undertake research in natural dye, as the grant is public money, we hope and trust that very soon, penyayang will make public all its research findings as we are very keen to learn. we did not see any natural dye produced by penyayang at the recent klib as promised.what happened?get going will ya, if any assistance is needed, do contact us.
