Maya Blue Pigment // Indigo Infused White Clay
This all natural blue pigment is a very special alchemy of plant and mineral chemistry, originally discovered and used by the Maya.
The soft white clay mineral is gathered from an abundant roadside on the far side of Eastern Oregon. It requires grinding and sifting before the indigo is added. Then the Eugene grown indigo powder is burned the clay on medium heat, bond what was a plant based dye (soluable) with the mineral (insoluable) and creating a lasting bond. This blue is very rich.
Earth pigments are essentially rock dust. They can be mixed with many different types of binders for various applications. Add to oil and stain wood or mull with watercolor. They are not intended for dyeing or consumption, but safe for applications on the skin. Water alone will not necessarily bind the pigment in the ways intended, so it is recommended to research binders and recipes for your intended purpose.
