I recently found your channel and i love it soo much! I really love your style and seeing your sweet little children! I have been interested in natural dying for years but have only barely dipped my toes into it. I have been wanting to jump in though so i have loved your videos!i really really want to try my hand at making my own natural watercolors!

Hello. Thanks for being here 🥰 I’d like to make some water colours too …. Maybe we will do a video. I’d absolutely recommend some of Liz Spencer’s @thedogwooddyer online workshops if you want to get started also there’s a really beautiful book called « make ink » 💜💜💜

Hi! I’ve tried making cochineal lake dye. I’ve managed to make purple ones, but how do i make it more redder? Should i add cream of tartar with the alum? I’ve attempted to make it redder twice and both failed because i never got the liquid to separate

What a fluke - I've just done exactly the same with the same recipe, the same instructions from Liz, the same stainless steel bowl! I used my exchaus dye from sumac leaves as well as from a piece of alder wood. Strangely enough the sumac did not froth up, though the ph-level was a good 7. In any way, it will make a pigment I can use for water colours if not for fabric paint. What a great job you're doing with your children! Love your "hach";).

@@billynou Hello. Back again. I have made a few lake pigments now, but not used them yet. What irritates me, is that I have read/seen from other people making lake pigments (e.g. the barefoot dyer) that they must be washed after the initial filtering process and filtered once more. This is to eliminate the metal salts. I am not sure where this is necessary. I can imagine that when the pigments are mixed with alum and gum arabic to make paints for printing on fabrics, one would have to adjust the amount of alum used. But if used for painting on paper? Or does the colour maybe change after being applied? Have you used your pigments yet? Have you heard about washing?

Hi Billy. Hope You are good. Can we extract natural lake pigments without adding soda ash? Isn't Soda ash harmful? Thanks in advance.

@billynou Жыл бұрын

Hey love… the may be a way that I’m not aware of. I don’t think soda ash is super harmful…. It’s used in lots of laundry detergents but is a high ph so you do need to be careful about it touching skin or inhaling powder ☺️

What natural soaps or detergent would you recommend to wash natural dyed fabrics for longevity? I’m new to all of this and learning a lot from your channel, thank you :)

@billynou Жыл бұрын

Anything gentle and ph neutral… a lot of dyes are ph sensitive so if you want the colours to stay the same then that’s important…. I used to wash everything by hand in cool water but these days I often fling them on a cool gentle wash in the machine and they support that way more than you’d think…. All depending on what dyes and fabric etc you used
