Quechuan Woman with Natural Dye on Her Lips, Chincheros, Peru
One Quechua woman kindly offered to explain the way they traditionally dye their clothes and textiles. It was an amazing experience. What's on her lips also is a kind of dye from an insect she just crushed. She mixed lime juice to make the vivid red color from the insect into orangish color. And her magic kept going on.
