Tom and I spent the afternoon going around Naga's Public Market. Looking for different colors of dye. Thanks to Tita Vivian - the friendly stall owner of an unnamed square-meter of a space - we got ourselves a few dozen sachets.
Yellow. Orange. Green. Blue. Red and Black. A couple of each at Php3 a pack. A good peso less than what the other stalls were offering.
Thanks to the ehow website, we got ourselves a basic dye recipe for seagrass. We have grown to believe that ragiwdiw is seagrass, but the different stalls at the market beg to differ. Some say it is just the same as water hyacinth - I think that's a totally different plant. More research to do, I guess.
We boiled our dye and popped in our grass, but to no avail. The jobos did not stick. We'll try again tomorrow - with more dye.
Today we spent: Php183
Php16 - tricycle ride to the Public Market for two
Php51 - for our different colors of dye
Php50 - for Ragiwdiw slippers
Php16 - for tricycle ride back to Bubble Town
Php50 - for oatmeal cookies
