Logwood

Even after a few years since I've started my journey experimenting with natural dyes, I am still amazed by the natural colours of logwood and how the colour spectrum ranges from purples to greys. 

Logwood Tree – a species of trees that is native to southern Mexico and northern Central America. A source of natural dye, the logwood dye is extracted from the heartwood (inner) of the tree. Photo from here.
