Wow, this ALL answers my question! :-) Since making an indigo vat is
very inconvenient (see the websites I originally posted), I think I
will use the partially fermented stuff - wehew! So, Catherine, I will
be getting both! I do eventually want to try the freeze-dried fully
fermented indigo for body art though, as it looks very easy to work
with. After I purchase and receive the henna and indigo, I will try
to send you guys "before" and "after" pictures with my recipe, and
lots of explanations, as everyone needs information! Thanks again! Lisa
