This site is advertisement-supported. The Google ads do not pay enough to pay a salary to the author (who is currently unemployed due to ill health), but they make a huge difference in defraying the expenses involved in maintaining this site. They are what make it possible to keep this site going. The way this works is that Google ads will pay this site from one cent to a dollar or more (usually just a few cents) every time a reader clicks on one of them. Please do not click on the same ad repeatedly, such as more than once a day.

I am a scientist with a long-standing interest in dyes. When I took up dyeing fabric as a hobby, I was frustrated by the limitations caused by not fully understanding my materials, and by the lack of available information anywhere to explain them to me. I found information which was useful to me only because of my scientific background, and have ever since been sharing the knowledge I have gained with anyone who shares my interest.
My Ph.D. thesis, DNA Damage and Cell Lethality by Photodynamically Produced Oxygen Radicals, involved the use of certain dyes as a source of toxic oxygen radicals. My work involved identifying which oxygen species actually caused dye-related damage both in vivo and in vitro. The dyes I worked with were clearly more hazardous than the ones we like to use in our art!
