Hi, yes you can try it on fabric. The best kind of fabric is reputed to be natural ones like cotton, wool, silk and so on. You will also want to alum the fabric first. Play around and see if it works for you. Thanks for watching, Em

Hi, I have not really had issues with the dried flowers themselves bleeding in resin. I do however color enhance some of them and you don't want to use a solvent or alcohol ink base - since that will bleed. If you do color enhance, make sure to use a water base or fabric paint. Also, it is always best to do a test first just to be sure. There may be some botanical that has dyes in it that could bleed, I just have not had that happen with the ones I have used. Have fun and thank you for watching, Em

Hi, appreciate the interest. Not sure what kind of picture. As under glass or? If under glass I just spot glue the center or area where the flower or leaf holds together, rather than the entire item - just to keep it from moving around or falling apart. For that I just use a toothpick and Elmer's Glue. But really any glue you have on hand like that should work. Just test a few first. If you are thinking of something else as a picture, please let me know more details and I will see if I have any thoughts that may help. As I side note, If I do glue the entire flower or leaf on the back, I use a brush and Matte Mod Podge - most of the time. Have fun and thanks for watching, Em

Hi, yes. What I do is scrape a stick with a knife to make powder. Or you can use pan pastels. I use a brush to apply. On certain flowers/leaves it works fine. Experiment and have fun, Em

I carefully rinse them under a lightly drizzling shower (or with a watering can) then let them air-dry. I use Alum and rusty things as mordants, btw

I saw it on the marker video, Thanks for your knowledge.

Hi, appreciate the comment and glad you are learning things from the videos. Have fun, Em

Hi, when I am making a larger batch that will be around for a while I prefer distilled water. If I am just doing a one off or something over a few days I don't worry about it. Thanks for watching, Em

Hi, in regard to changing color, all flowers mellow or fade over time. I mostly press flowers that I have learned over time are good color keepers. Having said that, they should not be displayed in sunlight. You can also color enhance some botanicals for longer term display. I have playlists that go into details on many subjects. www.youtube.com/@emsplace/playlists You may be especially interested in the color enhancing one, and the how to protect flowers videos. There are many ways to protect flowers and those will give you some ideas. Thank you for watching, Em

@@emsplace thank you so much for sharing the tips.

Hi, as I recall, I just used the dye and the medium. Then if I want to dilute or futher tone down the color you can add a little rubbing alcohol as needed. I use the painters little pallette like in the video for that in small amounts. Just be sure your color formula plays well with the alcohol. It did for me so far, but some manufacturers formulas may be different. Just be sure to test before comitting to larger pieces. Thank you for watching, Em

Hi, yes I apply alum to the paper. Color fast depends a lot on the botanical. For example dahlia lasts a long time and I try to use things that have good color. Don't put in sunlight. I also lightly spary with a clear spray that has uv protection. A bookmark for example, will really hold color because it is generally in a dark area. I think it is more than worth it. I have my own collection, and even after years they still look good. Thank you for watching, Em

Hi, if I am putting flower arrangements under glass I usually don't do anything. And if I do, I use a very light spray of hairspray or X2 clear spray with UV protection. Be sure to test a few of the flower/leaves on a test paper first, to be sure any spray does not affect the items. Hold the can high up if spraying, and do it outside - the X2 is very stinky. Having said that, best to keep out of sunlight and dampness. Thank you for watching, Em

Hi, it is a bullhead - I believe it is a member of the catfish family. Thanks for watching, Em

Hi, yes I would like to do video about this subject as time allows. Basically, solvent and alcohol inks will bleed under resin and many coverings that remain moist, for example contact paper and such. So use water soluble colorants for resin or they need to be protected with some sort of water base protectant. There is more to talk about and hope to get to this in the new year. I try to remember to remind people to always test a small item first because there are so many variables. It is all one big experiment. Keep trying and hope you find something that works for your ideas. Thank you for watching, Em

That's good to know. I was going to try this for resin. I hope you only made a small item, as resin is so expensive x
