Nik, I'm doing a workshop this week on ecco printing and, even though most of us are using the same recipe for the pre-soak the bath and even the same plant materials, out results are different. It's so much fun to see what comes out of each pot. Our instructor is teaching us different styles of books we can make out of the papers. We're having a great week!

@celiahayton5657 3 жыл бұрын

Your video is excellent, thanks! Your flowers are super impressive! FYI You can get different results from the type of metal pot used. For example, an aluminum pot can make your tones very yellow and green so be careful adding alum if you are using aluminum. A glass slow cooker or stainless steel pot will give different results. It's fun to experiment. Can't wait to see what you've done with your pages.

Neat, this is a good video, thanks. Vinegar is actually a mordant, also. I used to Rit dye stuff and it called for white vinegar, so that was right on-I know this was last year's video,, so you probably already found that out. Thanks for the handy tips and tricks.

Those are pretty and the reveal is exciting. When I do paper marbling I brush an alum water mixture on my papers then let them dry, then use them. Maybe try that next time
