Band I
Cotton ground
Warm cream holds the page like undyed cloth.
Temple register / natural dye chord
Stories Bonded In Cotton
Band II
Iron outline
Thin rules frame every passage before color arrives.
Madder root
Red carries the narrative.
Dense, warm, and never synthetic.
Indigo bath
Blue steadies the field.
Cool depth appears as a supporting chord.
Madder, indigo, myrobalan, cream cotton.
Horizontal bands, cusped cartouches, and iron-rust rules turn an old narrative cloth into a disciplined screen poster.
Selvedge note
Four colors, one fiber.
The palette reads absorbed, not printed on top.
