![Jordan Adetunji - KEHLANI REMIX (feat. Kehlani) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EeJ8n5PxFGE/mqdefault.jpg)
I tried out your technique from Part 1 last weekend, used different types of paper, cheap copy paper, heavyweight copy paper, cardstock, food packaging/boxes with the inside being white and paper bags, they all turned out.
Of course some leaves didn't work out as well as others, but also tried Hydrangea and red Primrose flowers, they printed really well.
I look forward to trying it on fabrics now, lol. I need to figure out where to get some copper pieces, I guess the hardware store if all else fails, we have copper pennies here in the States, so will have to check what years are actual copper.
I was already subscribed here and following you on Facebook, so just signed up for your email and waiting to be accepted into your new Facebook group 😊
Thanks for a great tutorial, such fun, haveta go look around the house for some fabric to play with, lol. 💜😂💜
I'm so glad you tried and loved the results! I hope you share some of your prints in our FB group. Thank you for subscribing to the newsletter 😊
Oh, this eco printing experiments completely consumed my life for the last few weeks. I ended up ripping one tablecloth and one bed sheet because I "had to" try immediately- no time to go shopping for fabric 🤣 I keep bringing more leaves from outside, want to try all I can before they are gone. I'm totally exhausted 🤣, but can't seem to stop 🤣.
to the person looking for copper strip the plastic off an old extention lead or cables etc inside is copper wire just use alot and youll get your copper solution and if you add what i just put in coments below youll get even more colors and surprises :)✌️
@@stefpatrickson5771 Thanks for the information! I have a bag of cords I was gonna donate to the church resale shop, looks like they won't be getting all of them, lol.
Also, I don't see a comment below from you on other things to use, hmm, not sure why....?
@@Saacibo That’s so cute AND funny!! We are all cut from the same cloth!! How’s that for a good crafty saying!
You are not LIKE a scientist - you ARE a scientist! Very well done, my friend.
Aww, thank you so much 😊❤️
Every print is wonderful in its own way. I absolutely loved this process. I love trees and collect their leaves, and have my first leaf collection from when I was a little Michigan girl. I’m 73 now, still live in Michigan, and still play in the natural world. Needless to say, I cherish these videos and cherish you for sharing your methodical processes. Thank you so very much! ❤
You're so welcome! It makes me happy knowing that there are others who share my love of trees and nature. Thanks you so much for watching and for your nice comment 😊❤️
And again beautiful results! I like your systematic scientific way of experimenting! It is very clear, and I will try this method. The results are different to using mordant before you treat the leaves with the classic boiling method, and the structures of the leaves are so clear. It will be interesting to see if they are going to change colour after some time...... thank you, Dragana, for taking us along in your "lab", I enjoy that. 😊🎉 Jutta
You're very welcome Jutta! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'm also very curious to see what will happen to the print after some time. 😊❤️
I do not impress easily...BUT this was IMPRESSIVE!!!💗Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊❤️
Fascinating experiment & results. I used to do a lot of nature printing using natural items with printing ink.
In conjunction with a fiber arts international biannual exhibit at our local museum, I attended a natural-dying workshop in the early 1970s. We dyed wool yarn with onion skins, beets, acorns, lichen, & a zilion other natural items. I can't remember what mordants we used, but I do remember that if we made the dye in an iron pot, the colors were darker than in a stainless steel pot, but not black as with your rust water. Everyone in the class made different dyes, then each person got a piece of yarn from each dye batch. We made cards with what was used for each dye, then tied a piece of the dyed wool to each card for later reference. I tied all of my cards together and hung them in my studio. Those yarn pieces held wonderful natural herbal scents for years.
One thing I remember about the history of natural dyes that I learned at the workshop, is that stale urine (or rather the ammonia that it creates) makes a wonderful mordant. In colonial times, spininng/weaving households saved their urine for that purpose. If you happen to have an antique oriental rug, it's likely that it was treated with urine (human or animal) too.
I'm not about to save my urine for my art, but I thought it was an interesting fact.
Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge with me! Indeed, the use of ammonia is very interesting. Perhaps that's why it's used in hair dye products. I studied fine art, and we learned about pigments but barely touched the subject of natural dyes. I wish I knew more. I've been learning through experimentation so far, and finding inspiration in the traditional dyeing techniques past on through generations here. 😊❤️
@@Saacibo
I've been hounding my husband to find some rusted pieces & copper items in his garage (which has a little bit of everything.) I am planning on making small mixed-media art using fabric & other media (about 12"x12"). I plan to try your leaf technique on fabric for those.
I studied art, too. Never thought about natural dyes when I was in college. At my first teaching job in 1970, we celebrated the first Earth Day, which created a tiny spark of interest in natural products & techniques in the art world & has grown over the years.
By the way the nature printing I did, I learned from my former HS biology teacher who, after retirement, studied the technique in Japan. I'm including a link to instructions below. It suggests water-based or oil-based printing ink, but I also searched for “Can I make lino printing ink from natural materials?” I got a bunch of links to RUclips tutorials. (Homemade ink for lino, relief, woodcut, intaglio, lithography, collography, or silkscreen should work.) I haven't tried any of them yet.
Nature Printing from natural materials:

If you are interested in making Ink from plants…In 2018 Jason Logan published and excellent book -
Make Ink: A Forager’s Guide to Natural Ink-making.
There are wonderful FB groups online for Botanical Dyeing and Echo Printing. Thousands of us plant dye mad peeps. I have shared your interesting video to some of the groups.
In 2020 when my Mum passed away she left me her Big Sizzix printer…I printed flowers and leaves with it on paper. I did try on cotton but found that even though I used pre mordanted fabric the plant prints faded pretty quickly over a couple of months.
The paper however has stayed to this day and I did not mordant it. Cheers
Amazing results! Thank you so much for demonstrating all the effects. When I saw the ones that were first in copper, then immediately in iron,(the ones that got some light grey color on the background), I thought they would be stunning with some lighter or colored embroidery added in some places. Wow! I'm inspired!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! I think colored embroidery over some of these would look amazing! Thank you for watching 😊❤️
OMG! I thought i was a little nutty thinking i could roll over the paper with my car 😂. Improvising sometimes does the trick. Love your work.
Thanks so much! I am still convinced the car trick would have been the quickest way to get many prints at once 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to trying this technique.
Thank you so much for that fantastic demonstration of eco pring. I have seen many youtubes of eco print, and i was always left with lot of confusion and questions, but you made everythiing so clear and your teaching was just perfect. Thanks a lot and God bless you. I am all the way from India.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 😊
I can't really express my enthusiasm and my gratitude for this post. And your ethics.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊
WOWIE WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Thanks so much for doing all the research for us. I've been eco-dyeing for years but always on the stove. This looks faster, and so cool! I love your channel.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️😊
I tried the paper printing today with my sizzix. They are resting under a heavy book. I’ll open them later today. Now I want to try this. So much for doing my chores today 😂
🤣 I can relate. I ignore my chores all the time. Crafting comes first 🤣
All I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for taking so much time & effort into this amazing video!
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and your kind comment 😊❤️
Absolutely stunning! Totally Fascinating! Love, love your trials, the whole video is utterly interesting. I tried your paper method last week and got some good results. Now to the next level! 🌹💖
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 😊❤️
Again - I love this! They came out so beautifully. Your scientific approach is wonderful and accessible. I am goin to stick to paper for the moment, but will keep my eye out for white cotton fabric. Or silk! That would be worth trying too. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video. Oh, silk would be nice to try, and linen too. I'll try some synthetic materials perhaps in the spring, who knows,it might work on them as well. 😊❤️
Alum is often used as premordant (or you can use soya milk also) and the others as modifiers when you dye yarn or fabric with plants (and tannin mordant is one more to test with these prints also). I love the way you show the different results and I'm sure many got the inspiration to test this! I enjoy your videos very much, thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for the useful information. I normally soak fabric in alum mordant before regular eco dying (boiling method) This was all experimental, and I just had to see if it made a big difference if I add it after. Is tannin mordant something I can buy or is it extracted from plants? I would love to experiment with it more. 😊❤️
@@Saacibo I send you links via Instagram as RUclips doesn't like links in the comments 😉
@@anumanninen thank you so much!
A wonderful process demonstration! I am interested in trying eco printing! Where would you get alum?
This series was super cool Dragana! Thank you so much. I'm really excited to try these techniques!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Fabulous series, Dragana! I’ve learned so much. Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome! 😊❤️
Wauw😮 this is amazing 🤩 and so much easier 🙏 Thank you Saacibo 🌺
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it 😊❤️
They’re all beautiful. ❤ I want to try this.
Please do! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Thank you, you explain perfectly
Glad it was helpful! 😊❤️
Saludos cordial de Chile un gusto gracias por enseñar tan hermoso arte
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
Thank you so much for all those precious techniques . I did not try those yet, but i am yearning to experiment it 😃
You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️
Merci pour cette video ! Cet après midi j'ai testé, génial !!
That's great! I'm happy it worked well for you😊❤️
BRILLIANT 👏
Thank you😊❤️
When I googled cholorophyl, because that’s also in leaves, of course it mentions that it causes the green in leaves, but the word magnesium also passed by and since I take a magnesium supplement, I may try that also later even though I haven’t been able to find it again. Fun to do.
Oh, sounds very interesting! Please let me know how it goes if you try it with magnesium 😊❤️
Really enjoyed this video! thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 😊❤️
Fantastic! Thank you!
You're very welcome!😊❤️
I suspect that this winter you will see us trying these things again, especially for those of us who have saved leaves, or those who live where they have green all year. Please remind us. My copper liquid arrived yesterday and I am anxious to try that later today hopefully!! The leaves are changing quickly but there’s still time to collect some. Like I said before, I put my leaves in a solution of water and glycerin or lay them between paper towels soaked in this mixture and that really saved me last winter when I wanted leaves for gelli printing and crafting. They were nice and pliable!
That is such a great information Donna! I really appreciate you sharing it with me! I haven't tried yet, but I should. Need to get some glycerin while there still leaves to pick 😊❤️
Great love it.
So glad! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Nakon odgledanog današnjeg videa, domaći papir od salveta, i ovog videa koji mi je nekim čudom promaknuo, ja tek sad vidim kako ja taj svoj Sizzix koristim stvarno minimalno i samo za ono očito. Morat ću razmišljati "out of box". Hvala ti Dragana na ovome, neiscrpan si izvor kreativnosti.
Nema na čemu draga Danijela. Baš mi je drago da te inspirisalo. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! It was so worth your time, they turned out amazing and you have inspired so many of us!!! Who knew that a Sizzix could be multi purposed lol!🤣Since seeing you do it I've tried leaves on lots of different paper and fabrics. It's so time consuming but I have totally enjoyed every minute of it. Right before seeing your part one eco video (I was a week late watching it) I was just wrapping up solar dyeing so I literally have spent the last couple weeks playing with flowers and leaves!!! Definitely wins and fails in all of it but I loved the experience soooooo much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Oh, I can totally relate. I've been picking and experimenting for weeks, too and I'm so exhausted, but loving it! ❤️😊
@@Saacibo ❤️
Can I ask if you have tried printing leaves onto felt (firm commercial felt) with the sissix? I Imagine it wouldnt give as clear a print but wondering if you got anything at all?
This was great information! Eco dying with all the wrapping and boiling, etc just seemed so complicated, but with this method your results are so lovely. I was really happy to learn about the mordants and how to make them, use them. You have given me so much to work with, thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and for your nice comment. ❤️😊
Love this!
I’m really glad 😊❤️
What a great experiment! You get a lot more control over your prints this way.
I think so, too! Thank you very much for watching 😊❤️
Quilts with free motion quilting! Some great results here! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! I think these would make awesome quilts 😊❤️
💜💜💜 absolutely amazing and fascinating to watch! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much 😊❤️
These are wonderful, thank you so much for this great tutorial.
You are so welcome! 😊❤️
Thank you so much for this ! I have been printing like crazy in the last two days.
You are so welcome! Oh, I'm the same, so addictive ❤️🤣
Wonderful! I can't wait to try this myself!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊❤️
Wow!! It does work even better on fabric! So cool!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊❤️
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Looking forward to trying this .
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it 😊❤️
This is an AWSOME instructional video! Thank you so much. I can't wait for spring to try these out
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
Thank you for this video. I never thought to mordant the paper after the printing. I am definitely going to try this. Your prints are beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find the information useful. 😊❤️
Excellent experiment. Thank you.
You're so welcome! 😊❤️
Absolutely wonderfully amazing!! Thank you soooo much for sharing ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
Love a bit of chemistry in crafting. ❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad 😊❤️
Absolutely fascinating 😊😊
Thank you so much ❤️😊
Thank you for an amazing tutorial. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 😊❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊❤️
Love the outcome of your various experiments. You have a great stash now.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
Thank you for this amazing video! I never would havwe thought to use the sizzix and it works beautifully!
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. I was also very surprised when I first tried. Now I can’t stop making more prints 😀
These are all so great and your testing is so interesting!! I absolutely love it!! I actually collected leaves today that I put in water mixed with glycerin and then put the bag into the fridge for a week or so. After that I will dry them and then press them to preserve them. Doing it that way keeps them flexible. Tomorrow I will have to go and collect some fresh leaves to do your methods!! I wish that there was a quicker way to make the copper mordant because I don’t think that in a month we will have any fresh leaves left on the trees except the evergreen ones of course. Maybe I will still try those!! I have a product called Synthropol, which is quite old that we used to set the colors in fabrics used for quilting but it didn’t change the color which was the point. I searched for it on google with no success. I love all the experimentation. I think a lot of us makers are really want-to-be mad scientists!! Thank you for making our dreams come true! Will you quilt the fabric pieces together and make something with them?? Thank you! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much Donna! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I should try you method with glycerin and leaves. I tried using dry leaves on gelli once and it was a disaster, they were dry and brittle and got stuck to the gel plate. That trick with glycerin sounds like a way to go. Thank you so much! ❤️😊
They are gorgeous! little trees🌳
Thank you so much 😊❤️
Thank you so much. I love this and especially that you took the time to explain the mordants. I usually do cyanotype botanical prints but love the ecoprints.❤
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching ❤️😊
Fantastic video, great scientific thinking, thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊❤️

Oh my WORD ......this is AMAZING...LOVE IT .....thankyouuuuuu sooooo much......its a deffo try now 😂..........you are FAB 👌 🎉❤❤❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and your nice comment. Love it 😊❤️
@Saacibo 🥰 .......ps...l TRIED IT 💃💃💃 so much fun............NOW its.......mmmmmmm what will l do with it all now 😂😂😂😂😂 ps.....really like the fabric 👌 so thankyou again 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘
There is so much goodness to see in this video, you spoilt us 😹
I'm sooooooo looking forward to trying some copper mordant now too! Just need to figure out how to obtain some copper without breaking the bank! TFS 😊
You're welcome! Glad you liked the video. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
I so want to try this soon
Oh, all I can say is that it's highly addictive 😊❤️
I love everything about you, you are genius well done My teacher .
Oh, thank you so much. You're very kind 😊❤️
Oh my gosh. So interesting !! Noticing your using metals to make your mordants I wonder if other metals would work too? Such as brass, bronze or aluminum (maybe foil)? I’m in the midst of a move so I can’t try it at the moment. Love the results of what you did. Amazing!! Thanks for sharing 🥰
You're very welcome! I know brass makes a nice mordant, similar to copper but, I haven't tried making or using it yet. 😊❤️
I have been making these so I joined your Facebook group so I can show you what I've made ❤
That's great! Can't wait to see your creations. Thank you so much for watching and joining the FB group ❤️😊
Wow wow dear you’re super creative and talented 🤍🤍🤍🤍 I can’t wait to see what are you gonna do with those beautiful prints please make a video like for the paper prints 😍😍😍 thank you so much for the amazing inspiration all the time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍🤍
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and for your nice comment. 😊❤️
Wonderful series, thank you. I was worried when you didn't change your gloves between mordant but the iron doesn't seem to cause a problem when you went into the copper and alum. ❤
I was trying to rinse my gloves in between in clean water but after a few times I kept forgetting to do it. I usually use only one mordant at a time when I'm printing off camera. Luckily, it worked ok. 😊❤️
Wonderful experiment. Thanks for saving us the work. I don’t have space to do all of this but next spring I might try the iron or copper. Getting too cold to work outside. You could find sheets etc at thrift shops for good prices.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Oh, I should really go get me some more fabric for printing. Thank you for the suggestion 😊❤️
Your work is just so beautiful! And thank you for showing the entire process so we can all learn.
I'm curious to know if you have washed any of the printed fabric to see how well the colours last? And have you tried mordanting the fabric before printing the leaves (as this is what is usually done for ecoprinting) ?
Thank you so much! You’re very kind! I washed these in cold water by hand and I used ph neutral hand washing liquid. I haven’t noticed any changes. I am yet to test washing them in washing machine cycle. I haven’t tried mordanting before, but it makes sense to do it for a more stable results. It’s on my to do list 😊❤️
Please please do a digital of some of these!
Thank you! I have been working on it for a few days and I've just uploaded the first one to my Etsy. Here's the link
saacibo.etsy.com/listing/1576311434
❤️
Oh I was yelling NO don’t do the green one and THEN it was beautiful
🤣 That's so funny! Thank you 😊❤️
Awesome video! Best l have seen in a long time! Very thorough! Thank you!
Have you tried soaking the leaves or fabrics in Alum before you ran them through the BigShot? I know l do that when l would do eco paper/fabric. Just curious if the reverse way made a difference?🧐
Thank you so much! Oh, I was in a rush to do the video so I couldn't wait for the paper and fabric to soak and dry, so I did the Alum after. It's definitely worth testing the standard way, Alum first then print. I hope I'll be able to get more leaves before they all fall, because I want to try that way too. 😊❤️
Thanks so much for sharing. It is very interesting and your experiments really help. I will try as I always like this kind of craft. I tried the pounding technique but never try with mordant. Where can I get the alum from and the roller? Thanks. 💕
You’re very welcome! Glad you liked it! Here’s the link to the alum amzn.to/4bB98Tm
This is the link to the Sizzix Big Shot amzn.to/4bAIQAL 😊
You said this can be done with paper. How? Do you soak the paper or just dip it into mordant and pull right out? With the fabric, could you soak the fabric in the mordant, remove & dry, and then press with the plant - would that be fixed? Thanks. Great videos!! I’m so glad I was pointed to your channel!
Thank you! I’ve been dipping the paper into the mordant and pulling it right out. Sometimes I would dip into a clean water after, especially after iron mordant - to avoid getting orange color background. Fabric can be soaked in alum mordant for about an hour, dried and then printed. I haven’t tried soaking the fabric in copper and iron mordant first. I recently washed all those prints on fabric in my washing machine using regular detergent and cold cycle and I am happy to say that prints remained the same. 😊
I want a dress made from those fabrics
Oh, it would be nice! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
👍🏼
How long can you keep an iron (rust) mordant in a jar and do you store it with the items still in the water or would you strain and take the nails, etc out! I tried doing prints on water color paper and they turned out beautifully. Now, I need to get some fabric to try!
I like to strain the liquid and keep it separate, because it can get to intense. I had mine in a glass bottle for over a year and it's ok. I don't think it can go bad. You can keep the rusty bits to make more if you need to or you can throw away. 😊
💜💜💜
Thank you😊❤️
We recently pulled 😮old brass pipes when striped laundry. I'll try to clean, but are original to house built mid 60s. Would they suit to make brass mortar?
I’ve heard of brass mordant but I’ve never made it or used it. If you make some, share your findings with us if you don’t mind 😊
Could a wooden mallet or a heavy rolling pin be used to smash the leaves into the fabric?
I believe so. I haven’t tried the smashing technique but it’s possible. I tried the rolling pin in Part 1 of the video. 😊
Did you use any detergents to wash the prints or just hot water or what temperature of water? Curious and inspiring
I used liquid soap for hands and it was ph neutral. I washed by hand so water wasn't too hot, but it was very warm.
Could we make alum at home? Save money as expensive in nz
It’s expensive here, too. I don’t know how to make it at home. Sorry 😊
🤗🇺🇸

My weekly sizzix workout 🤣🤣🤣
Pease warn your viewers not to use anything made of aluminum with vinegar. Vinegar dissolves aluminum and quickly.
Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it 😊❤️
😍🤩👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Thank you so much Karen 😊❤️
wow Dragana what a great and informative video - thank you so so much for sharing your experiences with us 😍😍 I will collect some Euro cents together to make a mordant 😉
You're very welcome! Glad you found the video useful. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️
