Add water slowly to get a feel for what your piece needs and avoid color bleeding. Let dry, avoiding direct sunlight, or placing on fabrics. Repeat as necessary.

Indego Africa is dedicated to changing that by investing 100% of their profits into education programs for the women who handcraft their products and youth in their communities. Since 2007, they have provided over 1,100 artisans and 250 young people in Rwanda & Ghana with employment opportunities, entrepreneurship training, and consistent access to the global export market.
