Here is a thought for preserving the liquid….pour into ice cube trays and freeze and pop out and thaw as needed…seems like it would work…

Adding vinegar or baking soda will change the color of your dies depending on the PH. Your red cabbage will become pink if you add vinegar. (I think)! Love the ideas!

This was so well-presented! I took screen shots of all your charts. Adding 1 tsp. table salt and 1 tsp. white vinegar per cup of ink will help preserve it and keep it from fading. The ink bottles and any projects should be kept out of sunlight. As one author puts it, natural inks are alive and they will change over time. We should embrace that change if we we want to use these on covers where they will inevitably fade.

Vinegar is a modifier and will change the colour.

Freeze them in ice cube trays and pop them out for individual color cubes. Then crush the frozen cubes into small pieces and store in freezer bags. Toss some colored-ice chips of different colors randomly on your paper like confetti. As they melt, you'll get a wonderful color-blending (yet still somewhat isolated) effects. That's what a lot of Indy yarn dyers are doing to get speckled yarns. For a quicker project, you could always just use plain crushed ice from the start and pour in some food coloring or natural dyes, but it will be a fainter result, as the ice will still be mostly solid water in the middle, causing the colors to lighten considerably as it melts.

Absolutely love the red Berry tea! I made some yesterday and used a soft large head art brush and achieved the most amazing patterns. You have to be quick applying it but if you do it slowly you get brilliant effects especially if you go back over it. I made a tartan type design and a swirl and they look brilliant!

I want a sequel! Being obsessed with organizers I’d love to see production of a journal (catalogue) or a decorated box for keeping these labeled swatches & solution recipes. And an organizer for freezer (with labeled ice cube trays perhaps). I loved it all. And the lace imprints, wow such a multitasking going on here. Straining through cheese cloth will produce a bonus coloured piece for projects as well. How cool!

I love drinking turmeric and ginger tea. When I drink it I save the tea bags and use them in my art journal, or I sometimes make extra tea and use that to stain my papers - it looks really beautiful with coffee stains and I even use the Tim Holtz spray stains (my favourite is aged mahogany); it’s just so beautiful *chefs kiss*. I also really enjoy drinking rose hip and hibiscus tea. It’s a really pretty dark pink colour but when it dries, it becomes a really gorgeous pale violet colour. I’ve been thinking about trying berries, beets, spinach. Nicola Brown has a KZfaq channel about eco dying worth checking into if that’s of interest to anyone.

Tip for preservation from the Old Masters of art - add 3 drops of lavender oil to the mixture. Lavender is a natural preservative. The Old Masters used a drop of lavender oil to help keep oil paints soft longer, and there is a specific purified oil called Oil of Spike Lavender for that purpose. I used regular lavender essential oil. The amount is so small that it doesn't affect the paper. I like the freezing idea as well.

I made this kind of stuff years ago after inspiration from wool dying videos. There are sooooo many fantastic things to use for dying and boiling helps with making the dye last longer and also more pigment coming out of the plants or what you use for the dye. And there are sooo much fun! Also, don't forget soot from campfires or if you have a fireplace. then you can use it like you can use things like eyeshadow and so on and put it on with a makeup sponge or something. So many fun things to use! :)

@janethartmannjones4781 Жыл бұрын

Love this, didn't watch because I assumed this was about making inks from purchased powders, natural dyeing is more accurate. My most successful dye was the pulp I had remaining after making grape juice. Layered papers with water and pulp and let them dry. The paper is crumpled and a glorious purple (red/black grapes) then I composted the pulp and made grape jelly with the juice. I have sprinkled turmeric on wet paper and used tea bags with turmeric too. Will have to try your other recipes.

Hi Natasa. The anthocyanins in the red cabbage and cranberries are what produces the bluish tones. When I ecoprint with cotinus and other reddish leaves, they will also print blue/purple. Science is amazing- even in art.

Natasha you have demonstrated so many wonderful ways to use the inks you created. Yes I agree that the imprints left after you have inked your papers and lace are beautiful. You asked for feedback on ideas, I read somewhere that you can paint on soy milk to the paper and lace to create a mordant and can change color. Maybe boiling in an old aluminium pot might give altered color? I would like to try with some stinging nettle growing wild in my garden. Thistle too. Has anyone tried to make simple ink from other weeds? I am in NSW Australia. Thankyou Natasha for your content and the way you present. Makes me come back to watch time after time.
