The perfect red ….
Got to learn about art of textile making and how wild plants, animals, and earth minerals are used to make a variety of colors for the dyes. This one is ground up Cochineal - which is an insect that feeds on the nopal cactus. Once the bug is dried and crushed it gives this crimson color.
