Our Atelier exhilaratingly announces our Racer Silk Sponsorship of the Bonneville Salt Flats 'World of Speed 2020' coming September 11-14!!

.The Bonneville Salt Flats covers what was once part of the floor of the ancient, freshwater Lake Bonneville that gave beauty and nourishing refreshment to western Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming during the last Ice Age, over 15,000 years ago. Lake Bonneville shorelines can be seen as flat wave-cut benches or terraces on the sides of the Silver Island Mountains to the north-northwest of the salt flats.

The Bonneville Salt Flats and the Great Salt Lake are remnants of ancient Lake Bonneville. Wind and water combine to create the flat surface of salt. Each winter, a shallow layer of standing water floods the surface of the salt flats. During spring and summer, the water slowly evaporates while winds smooth the surface into a vast, nearly perfect flat plain. The salt crust volume is estimated at 147 million tons.

A place of incomparable beauty, the Bonneville Salt Flats stretches over 47 square miles and is known as the fastest place on earth, where speed records are set on a sublime straightaway that shows the curvature of the globe.

In the language of flowers iris symbolizes eloquence
In the language of colour violet has versatile significance as you can see looking at this page.



'Violet is one of the oldest colors used by man. Traces of very dark violet, made by grinding the mineral manganese, mixed with water or animal fat and then brushed on the cave wall or applied with the fingers, are found in the prehistoric cave art in Pech Merle, in France, dating back about twenty-five thousand years. It has also been found in the cave of Altamira and Lascaux.[11] It was sometimes used as an alternative to black charcoal. Sticks of manganese, used for drawing, have been found at sites occupied by Neanderthal man in France and Israel. From the grinding tools at various sites, it appears it may also have been used to color the body and to decorate animal skins.
More recently, the earliest dates on cave paintings have been pushed back farther than 35,000 years. Hand paintings on rock walls in Australia may be even older, dating back as far as 50,000 years.
Berries of the genus rubus, such as blackberries, were a common source of dyes in antiquity. The ancient Egyptians made a kind of violet dye by combining the juice of the mulberry with crushed green grapes' (wikipedia)

​

​Violet also played an important part in the religious paintings of the Renaissance. Angels and the Virgin Mary were often portrayed wearing violet robes. The 15th-century Florentine painter Cennino Cennini advised artists: "If you want to make a lovely violet colour, take fine lacca, ultramarine blue (the same amount of the one as of the other)...

One of the most famous textile colours of the ancient world came from the sea snail of the Mediterrnean called Tyrian or Phoenician purple.

The Phoenicians also made an indigo dye, sometimes referred to as royal blue or hyacinth purple, which was made from a closely related species of marine snail.

Hyacinth, mulberries, blueberries, elderberries are some sources for colouring fabrics with natural botanical ingredients, far healthier for your skin and the environment.
