Growing up with a mum who had a closet full of African textiles, I thought it was about time I explored them (and others). I often look through the lens of a colour enthusiast and intrigued scientist as I journey along this exploration.

Inside My Mother's Closet 
So pleased I stumbled across your wonderful blog. I have been researching Adire textiles for a while now as a personal journey. It would be so lovely to meet you and to interview your mother.

Thanks, glad you like it! I will get back to writing more posts now the summer is over. I saw your blog and see you’re an indigo dyer, hence your interest in Adire. Do you have an email address or a way I can privately message you?

Thank you for replying to my message. I am an indigo dyer but it’s so much more than that. I am Jamaican/British and am trying to trace my African ancestry through indigo, that is the more personal side of my work. Lucille

This is really beautiful. I’m writing something for a friend about the process of getting your clothes made in Nigeria and found your blog as I was looking for links. Would you have any objection to being linked to? I’m also on wordpress though I haven’t updated in a while, if you’re interested I’ll look up my details (!) so as to send you a link, I can never remember them off hand. Sorry to be scatty. Also bi-racial, thinking between two cultures here.
All the best
