Hello everyone! In today's video I am dyeing papers with just grapes and some basic ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen.
How to make iron mordant:
Mixing 1 part white vinegar with one part water. Add some old bolts, nuts, chains or nails and leave for at least one week.
I got inspiration for this video from this channel:

this is the best paper dying video I have seen and I’ve seen a lot. Your instructions are very precise and very very interesting and I think all of the colours are great. The texture whilst a little bit grainy and does sound a bit rough with your fingers touching it would be interesting for something so it’s still not a failure. I’m going to try and do some things myself experiments not with grapes because I don’t have any but I might try it with a few other things and I like to try the rust. Thank you very much.

I took an art course many many years ago about alkaline and acid levels in dyes. We would do experiments very similar to what you are doing. one thing I do remember is the paper on the top when using baking soda always seemed to turn more green than the other papers in the same solution. It had something to do with the amount of alkaline from the baking soda rising in the bubbles to the top surface of the mixture. that coated the top paper with more alkaline then the other papers. alkaline had a greenish blue color and therefore made the papers more green in color. also along the edges of the other papers there would be a slightly more green colors, also because the bubbles would attach there but not be able to reach the inside of the papers as easily. if that makes sense. the more baking soda added to a acidic solution such as grape juice the greater the changes in the papers and fabrics we used. The papers turned out beautiful.

Wow Debbie, thank you so much for sharing that information. It makes more sense now. The last paper, that turned green, was sitting alone in the dye bath for at least 15 minutes and that was probably enough time for soda to reach all of it and make it green. I'm testing a different approach at the moment, spraying every paper individually and letting it dry naturally. I hope I get more green papers that way, because I like the green one the best. Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️

Too much iron in second bath? rinse well so it won’t destroy the paper. Very nice colors. Maybe leave out a sample in bright light to see if it retains colors or if fugitive color. ❤

It’s been a year and a half since I made this video and I still have a few of the papers left. Purple, blue and yellow stayed the same. Green changed to yellow ochre within a week. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really stable. I got a nice stable green when I mixed yellow dye from pomegranate peel with blueberry dye. That one faded only a little bit and retained green hues. 😊❤️

After just watching your recent video from the March 2023, I just had to watch this one too. I could hardly wait to see the results! Lol The papers all turned out beautiful! I especially like the green one, but the yellow/gold ones are so pretty too. We have a massive grapevine of green grape over our garden shed roof - I wonder what colour they would make. When you dry your papers in the oven, what temp do you use, and do you put them on a cookie sheet? Yours dried so even, and smooth. Thanks again for all the info...you make it so easy to follow.😸

@Saacibo Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Anne! Oh, I enjoyed this experiment so much. I also liked the green papers but unfortunately they didn't stay green for too long. I'm afraid they all turned gold yellow after a month or so. Purple ones stayed purple. All I can say is that it's not easy to get green papers, unless you mix stable blue and yellow dyes, like I did in that other video with blueberries and pomegranates. I haven't tried with green grapes, so I can't say for sure. When I dry papers in the oven I use low heat heat, not too hot. I put the fan on, and I dry two at a time, that's how many I can fit on a tray. You can use cooking sheet to prevent them sticking to your tray. 😊❤️

Thanks for the info on drying the paper. Very weird about the green dyed papers turning yellow/gold. I wonder...have you ever tried fresh green tree leaves - like maple, birch, etc., or clover? Yes, the ones in the blueberry & pomegranate turned out nice. @@Saacibo

@@Saacibo Yes, and it was a great idea! Oh, and I wanted to say that I don't soak my paper all night, I only dip it in the color bath and take it out. The color settles while drying and the dried color always different from the wet fresh one. It doesn't affect the vibrancy of the colors. Yet another experiment for you! lol

@Saacibo 10 ай бұрын

Hello and welcome to the channel! Great to have more people from Finland! I'm really happy that you found the information useful. I was experimenting last year with many different plants because I needed green papers, too. So far, my conclusion is that blue and yellow dyes make the most stable green. I tried with blue grapes and soda bicarbonate. Papers turned green but didn't stay green for long. 😊❤️

Thank you❣ I really want to experiment dyeing with plants instead of using inks. I am waiting for a great success 😂😂 It is much more fun and somehow rewarding to dye with plants from the garden (or in front on our cow barn) instead of buying inks. @@Saacibo

@Saacibo 8 ай бұрын

My papers sometimes rip, too. Especially if the dye is warm or hot. It should be cold. I use various paper weights, 80gsm mostly, but also watercolor and sketching papers that are heavier, 120-250gsm

@lisawagner6076 Жыл бұрын

How did you dry these papers in the oven? That green one looks a lot like when I dye my avacado papers, I dry them singly in the oven, meaning, I do not pile them up. The side that is on top will get very dark while the underside will stay light. So I don't know if this helps you or not, but I love the results anyway.

@Saacibo Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Lisa! I dried them all singly, like you do, but the last one turned greener. I tried spraying all the papers individually first, leaving them stacked for couple of hours then spreading them flat to dry. And it worked, they all turned green. I think the residue from soda-bicarbonate sank to the bottom of the tray when I tried the first time. 😊❤️

@electrichen6243 Жыл бұрын

If the green paper was at the bottom, it may be due to a by-product of the bicarb reaction which has sunk to the bottom of the container. Stirring the solution and turning papers frequently might give you greener papers.

@Saacibo Жыл бұрын

You're might be right about that. I'm in the process of trying again but this time I'm spraying the papers individually with the solution, and I keep shaking it before each application. Hopefully I'll get more consistent results 😊❤️
