My project before fieldwork: katmon bag and stickers! 🟢💮
You can use hand-carved rubber stamps on both cloth and paper, just choose the right ink. For brighter colors, I like using oil-based ink.

Harvest katmon fruit when it is fully green and begins to soften slightly, as this signals optimal ripeness for its sour flavor. In the Philippines, this typically occurs between May and December. To check if it’s ready, gently pull on the fruit—if it detaches easily, it’s likely ripe for harvesting.

The fruit's acid is mixed with sugar to make a traditional cure for cough. It is also used to clean the hair.
