MW Indigo Dyeing| Double Shot

Dear friends, hello everyone! I'm Wutong, and I'm extremely delighted to be here with you all.
Today, what I want to share with you is not those small and delicate desktop ornaments, but an Interest Check (IC) for a set of keycaps.
The inspiration for this set of keycaps comes from the traditional Chinese dyeing and printing technique with profound historical heritage - indigo dyeing.

In China, indigo dyeing has a long - standing history that can be traced back more than 3,000 years.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the fermentation and reduction technology of indigo had been put into use.
Amazingly, this ancient technique has withstood the test of time and is still being passed down and applied today.

The reason why I came up with the idea of designing this set of keycaps is that after purchasing multiple sets of blue keycaps, I still haven't been able to find the most ideal shade of blue in my heart. So, I resolutely embarked on the journey of keycap design.
The blue color presented by indigo printed cloth is a kind of quiet and steady dark color. It is low - key and unassuming, not showy, but can stand the test of long - term appreciation.
Its unique charm deeply attracts me. For this reason, I selected this element as the theme of the keycap design.
When designing the personalized icons, I referred to many classic patterns that frequently appear on modern indigo printed cloth, hoping to integrate the unique charm of indigo dyeing into every single keycap.
