Hello hive friends, all of you, see you again today, how are you, friends, I hope you are healthy, always have easy sustenance and may you always be under God's protection.
On this occasion I will share pictures of thorny panda leaves, green thorny pandan leaves. handicrafts or a source of income for the local community, some are used to make rice sacks or handbags or woven mats, I took the picture of thorny panda leaves at my parents-in-law's place because by chance my parents-in-law are one of the craftsmen of woven mats from leaves prickly pandanus and planted near his house.
The thorny pandan leaves are processed by taking the leaves and then removing the thorns from several sides and then drying them for a while so that the water content decreases a little. the cutting continues to be soaked for about two nights after soaking and then lifted for a while so that the water recedes and then directly dried in the sun until it dries, usually it is dried on the ground so that it dries quickly for about two days it has dried, then when it is dry the color has changed white and not green anymore, and if you want better results or beautiful colors, you can add special dyes to thorny pandan leaves, usually red, pink, green and purple.
The way to do the coloring is first boil the water until it boils then add the thorny pandan leaf coloring. It can be processed immediately into beautiful and colorful woven mats, but don't forget to do the needlework again so that the pandan leaves are weak and soft again because they have gone through many trials so they turn stiff again and have to do the needlework again.
This is all I can share this time, if there is something missing, please provide input, thank you very much for visiting.
