My teacher, Rossella, really has colors in his head. A founding member of the association of natural dye ME Salice, founded in Milan in 1986 with the intention to continue the study and the work of the dyeing teacher Elda Maria Salice (1931-1985).

The color, that bright or dull, intense or faded, practically a  state of mind, dye gives life to material.

There is no place which I visit that doesn’t tickle my fancy. I always wonder what they used to dye and if there is someone who still uses these techniques.

Jack fruit, pomegranate, madder, tea, henna, or Brazilian Redwood, it is always so enjoyable to perform such an artistic act, full of color and patience.

Rossella has certainly added a splash of color to our trip!
