And yeah, I've seen urine used for various purposes, but not as a dye mordant... Not for the squeamish!

20 Natural Dye Plants You Can Forage and Grow in Your Garden

By Catherine Winter

Excerpt: "Would you prefer to go a super-natural route, since you’re using plant-based dyes? If you’re aiming to be as self-sufficient as possible, there are also all-organic mordant options as well.

Natural Mordants:

- Sumac: Simmer fresh sumac twigs for about an hour, strain out the twiggy bits, and reduce the liquid by half
- Urine: human urine is ideal for mordanting, but you’ll need to age it. Collect it in a jar and allow it to age for several days. [🤢 ]
- Salt: You can use standard table salt as a mordant, but Kosher salt can yield some of the strongest color-fastness. [I've used that]
- Vinegar [That too]
- Wood ash lye

"You’ve probably noticed that some of these are alkaline, and some are acidic. Alkaline mordants tend to work best with plant-based fibers like cotton, linen, and #hemp. In contrast, acidic mordants like vinegar are better with animal fibers like #wool, #alpaca, and #angora.

"Note that if you use an acidic mordant and your colors still run, you can set the color by dipping the fabric in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution. In contrast, if you’ve used an alkaline mordant like lye or baking soda [another one I've used], an acidic solution will strip the color rather than setting it." [Been there, done that!]

So che è uscito #Silksong e sarà sicuramente stupendo, l'ho messo in lista e pian piano lo raggiungo; inoltre sono poco social e raramente lascio opinioni.

MA.

Fatevi un favore, e quando avete tempo giocatevi Chicory: A Colorful Tale, di Greg Lobanov (al top su Switch).
Non bastasse il trailer, la colonna sonora è di Lena Raine.

Che belli i videogiochi.

🕶️🤌 Nice broker you have there, it would be a shame if someone put #wasm in it

In-broker #Wasm transforms in @apachekafka with #Chicory and some light low-level patching 🧐

I hope you enjoyed part 1, because this is part 2 😎

New Blog Post: Extending Kafka the Hard Way (in which we inject #Wasm inside a Kafka broker using #Chicory, #extism and some elbow grease)

A wall with a yellow, grainy texture on the left. The shadows of the grains throw a darker shadow, so that there are two tones of yellow. On the right, a smooth texture with two shades of blue. Additionally, a haiku:

sleep wouldn't come

View from above: A cluster of five chicory flowers on a stem. The flower heads consist only of ray florets. The delicate petals glow softly in the most beautiful sky blue. They are serrated at the end. The stamens are blue and white ringed. The background is formed by green and brown vegetation and a piece of grey structure, that could be asphalt. They're all out of focus.

Foraging for edible flowers: chicory! Beautiful blue petals, perfect to toss on salads, especially fennel salad, which is delicious but very… white! Pick from fields, away from the road https://cookingwithflowers.blogspot.com/2025/07/fennel-salad-with-chicory-flowers.html?m=1

chicory flower at sunrise with direct light and partially open. The background is blurred with a meadow and a couple of branches overhead. The image is processed with textured overlays, vignetting, and contrast to look slightly like a painting.
