Update on my drying method:
It was slow drying in the cubes, so I scraped it out onto parchment paper. Drying quicker now.

My first Japanese Indigo fresh leaf extraction!! Took a lot of notes to improve the steps taken. This took me 10 days. Very messy near the end. It will probably take a week or two for those cubes to dry. I am also drying leaves for the heated process. Need to harvest more leaves this week for my next extraction. Can’t wait to dye some of our linen skeins.
