Natural-Dyed Triangle Bag 58
Natural-Dyed Triangle Bag 58
In the mountains, plants and trees grow freely. People gather them, dye and weave with them, using and mending the fabrics year after year.
The plants reflect the earth, and the woven cloth, worn close to the body, brings us closer to nature. With eyes closed, one can almost picture the whole forest.
In Pangcah, "koleto^" refers to shoulang yam, rich in tannins and gum, traditionally used to dye fibers like fishing nets and cloth, making them stronger and more durable. Its color deepens with sunlight and use, gaining a luster that mirrors the passage of time.
The triangle bags, dyed with plants, have a natural, earthy texture. In the Kamaro’an Hualien Atelier, colors are slowly built up, waiting for the fire and the sun.

Notes:
*Natural-dyed bags may exhibit uneven coloring or spots.
*All bags had undergo fixing treatments; after removing the leather handles, they can be rinsed with water.

在山裡,一草一木長著,人們採集,回家染著織著,日日穿著用著,年年修修補補。草木有著大地的樣子,織物在身邊,好像也離自然更近了一些,也許閉上眼睛,可以看見整片森林。
薯榔,阿美族語是 koleto^,有豐富的單寧酸與膠質,時常染在漁網、織布等自然纖維上,來增加布料的堅韌與耐久度。薯榔的色澤會隨著日曬與使用,越來越沉,像是時間的光澤。
草木染三角包有自然的植物膠質挺度,也有土地的色澤。在花蓮工作室一層一層慢慢染上去的顏色,等爐火,也等陽光。

薯榔
薯榔,阿美族語是 koleto^,有豐富的單寧酸與膠質,時常染在漁網、織布等自然纖維上,來增加布料的堅韌與耐久度。薯榔的色澤會隨著日曬與使用,越來越沉,像是時間的光澤。
很久很久以前,在 sawmah 的外公還小的時候,部落的老人家,織好的布用薯榔染紅後,會拿到含紅色溪水裡泡著幾天(應該是有硫磺的溫泉吧),溪水慢慢沖刷後,薯榔織布會由紅轉深,顏色更固著,織布也更堅韌,是用自然裡的鐵礦進行媒染。

檳榔
看著粉撲色的檳榔染三角包,「檳榔是阿美族戀愛的顏色呀」,sawmah 說。
檳榔是阿美族社交的重要物件,尋常的日子,也跟檳榔深深交織在一起。家屋的檳榔,大約每兩米會種一棵,直線排列在每戶人家的地界上;到溪邊的時候,順手折起檳榔葉鞘,放入幾顆麥飯石,煮起溪蝦,暱稱為石頭火鍋;檳榔是潔牙的食物,檳榔心、芒草心、籐心都是阿美族愛吃的食材,檳榔樹幹,也是家屋常用的建材。
