PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING VIDS.. I NEED MORE AND MORE OF THIS THANK YOU

Hey friend! I can see it's been a year since you've uploaded and I don't wish to pressure you at all. I just wanted you to know that this was one of the most fascinating videos I've seen and if you ever feel up to making more I think there would be many people like myself that would love watching them. It's so interesting to see the process of making a pigment powder that can then be turned into so many different art materials. Have you experimented with leaves, dirt, or flower petals? In any case, I hope this comment finds you well and happy, thank you for brightening my day with this video and for inspiring me to paint today. ❤️🙏

Please dont stop making these videos! These are some of the best videos out there on this subject and it's absolutely fascinating :)

This was very interesting to learn. As a painter, I thank you

I love the informative video. And the music you made is the cherry on the cake. The whole vide is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

I started making lake pigments this week! Thank you for posting!! So helpful

You've really inspired and helped me in my pursuit of art and pigments! Thank you for making these videos and sharing your process!

Very helpful, thanks Nada. This will definitely come in handy for my bows

Love you, Nada! So good to have you back!

Love your channel. Thank you for your knowledge.

Very cool video. Only just now found it. Thanks for sharing your efforts!

I missed this series. Glad you are back

You help me so much, my teacher posted your video to make me more understand about lake pigment!!!

Thank you for such an amazing, fun and informative video ❤

I’m a natural Dyer on fabric and a Printmaker. and was trying to figure out how to make a thick ink for block printing on fabric. I’m hoping I can use this technique. I’m thrilled to see your technique - I think possibility-use to reclaim leftover fabric dyes. ?? 😻✌🏽💥

Omg she’s back yaaaaas

Wow, I have really missed your videos!

Very cool process. I’ve made my own paints, mostly encaustic, but never tried to make the pigments myself. I especially loved the videos where you appear in them and am looking forward to more videos. Thanks!

Really good video thanks

Love your videos. I have been making different kinds of inks for graffiti and stuff like that. Love hearing all this information I’ve forgotten about lol

This is great!! Can you say anything about lightfastness or permanence?

Very interesting your video! Thanks for sharing. My question is if you can use this lake pigment recipe for textile dyeing.

Hii Nada, I hope you're doing great.🤗 You are very creative and I like the way you are. I also like your videos a lot bcs you are honest about everyting. I hope I see you soon with a new video! ☺ Never stop doing what you love ❤

I am so obsessed!!!

Nada you are doing amazing work, Its worth a lot. Thank you for that. Waiting for upcoming videos. I have a question, can we use this in the wall painting. Will that work ? or comes out. Thanks for the support.

Hello friend, I just found your videos.i like them very much. I hope you are well and that you will make more!

Thank you for making the video, is this pigments light fastness stable, or will it fade relatively fast?

Please make more paint vids I love them please I beg u I love to watch u

Omg that was great, thanks .

So you added the alum to the dye but what do you do with the washing soda solution?

Very interesting video. I was thinking add silica or chalk for making pigment. I am confused, you add alum then soda right? They are not separate two jars.

Awesome! Will try to make It so I can use It in milk Paint.

Thank you for your video. I am wondering if this lake pigment can be used to dye fabric or not?

Nada!!! Love your channel. I'm super into plants and I'm wondering if you've ever used Basella alba fruit?? Malabar spinach is an edible vine that produces little berry like fruits with a seed in the center. When you pop the fruit theres is a super pigmented juice. Kind of a really dark purple to a bright magenta. I can send you some dry seeds but you'd have to grow the vines to get fresh fruit with juice. 🌱

Welcome back! What's the expected lifespan of these pigments (as ground, in the different bases, and applied to a painting)?

Wish you would come back!😊

I'm late but "Same video, but with my own bad music!" I didn't know it was yours but I thought it was pretty good.

Do you use a specific vegetation to water ratio when boiling?

Lake pigments are interesting cabbage extract, salts alum and a base. I wonder if u used beets sweet beets and maybe elderberry. This may work well. Dont give up even if u have trouble.

Wow, I love this! What would you mix the pigment with to make it more of a gouache consistency?

Didn't know about using gum tragacanth to make soft pastels!! I like using soft pastels but haven't made my own yet. Thought about using naturally occurring red clays in my region. I discovered recently that if you add enough titanium white to red clay it makes a nice brownish pink. Or if you add prussian blue to red clay it makes a purplish brown.

Does it change color after a while?

Part 1: This video Purple to blue to green...madness lol. What I am curious about is if there's a way to maintain the original colour? Or is that just part of the process with using the additional chemicals in the lake making process? And also how it performs in terms of lightfastness! I just discovered that its possible to make pigment from plants and after your video I really want to give it a go, but there's been no new updates on your channel :( Hoping you are ok and... Part 2: You've stopped making videos before ... and I just saw your 3rd last video about why you stopped making videos then. What a wild ride of emotions. Bare with me here for a moment...See, I am an 'artist' too (still feel pretentious when I say that) and what you said about not being tied down to doing just one thing is something I've struggled with as well. As a human living the conscious experience I want the freedom to do what I want. But this hasn't caused me a lot of happiness or success. I feel like I am butter spread over too much toast. There is a lack of focus, and the fact that I haven't stuck myself to one particular thing has me feeling like there is simply too much potential in me, too many options, but I am not that good at any of them so I remain in a fog, afraid to start anything for fear failing or being judged. Right now I just barely picked up the brush again after basically 2-3 years of dawdling, and I am terrified again because I fear I won't even be able to make the things I was able to do before. I kind of envy you because you don't seem to have that problem, you put yourself out there in your performance art, here in your videos, and I can't imagine myself doing that. Part 3: Its 1am and now I am just rambling Another thing you mentioned that I am worried about is how your experience went in Egypt. I am not from where I live now. My parents migrated when I was 6 and so I have grown up in english speaking countries for most of my life. However, despite having spent the more significant part of my life here, I feel like I am between two worlds, the one my parents raised me in and the one that is of the culture here. Now comes the time in my life when I will most likely also be returning 'home', just like you did to Egypt. But that culture feels foreign to me. I hope it will go well and I'll be able to integrate but I'll just have to see. I don't know why you stopped making videos but after hearing what you said in your face reveal video I kind of had a surge of emotions that resonated with what you said and I imagined I understood why you've stopped. Hopefully some of that has made sense. I think found your channel at the right time. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the brush in my hand for a good long time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your experience. Where ever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope it brings you peace and contentment.

Will these lake pigments paint on fabric if fabric is properly mordanted?

Is there a ratio for these? Like X part lake pigment water to X part alum to X part washing soda?

But what did you do with the washing soda… pour it in at the same time as the alum?

Hola cómo qué tal?,Se puede hacer cosmética natural con ellas?

I miss you

soundtrack ?

Guess what my Natural dyes pigment sort inspired by you got featured. I found Aluminum sulfate can be used instead of Aluminum potassium sulfate. Many powders on Amazon can be extracted with water and distilled except for beet powder it degrades past 45 degrees C. I found you can cut the herbs and dyes into little pieces cabbage finely cut and put it into a 1 L flask with 50 percent Alcohol (anything but Methanol due to its toxicity) and boil carefully on a hotplate. You do not need an expensive 1000 dollar hotplate you can get good ones for 95-100 dollars on eBay.

Hi when do you add the washing soda to the pigment

can you make alcohol based markers from the pigments . if you can that would be interesting video to see .

Could I use this in cosmetics?

3:15 You didn’t mention adding the washing soda after the alum but only mention the release of co2 and the color change. I like doing the laking process for making oil paints, and watercolours. Baller video.

It is sustainable

Have you ever considered using your interest in dye and applied to Japanese study in Japan?

Sorry to hear KZfaq made an Issue about copyright Nada.

You said you added the alum solution to your dye, but you didn't say what you did with the soda solution.

How to use aluminum oxide as metallic salt

Aqueous extraction or solvents extraction mean ?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLSimqiYyrfNnnk.html At this stage, add both Alum and Soda? is it pour both individually in to the dye, or have to mix alum and soda first?

Washing soda equals Natrium Bi Carbonate?

My dear please sent dai wall peint pigment making video

One of my friend makes pva printing and paints designs. 600 euro machine. It a very demanding he saids.

I just laked the red cabbage in the frig and got blue, green and bright crazy purple. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I think good alum is the key. I wish I could post a picture

This is a very nice and informative video. But please bear in mind that the colour from red cabbage or most blue flowers is not light-resistant, meaning that if you use it for painting pictures, this will not last but fade.

Can this be mixed as an acrylic?

This was very interesting to learn. As a painter, I thank you
