I hear you speak of fails and I think , "if that is a failure how grand must be the successes?" All the papers are stunning. I've learned so much from you and other artists. Thank you for teaching to experiment with our expressions. You make us brave.
OOOOHH MYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOSH!!!!! I am CRAWLING out of my skin just watching this!!!! I was excited to see Easter egg dye, but your techniques and results have just inspired me so much!! Thank you for sharing a million dollar idea just for the love of the art. Absolutely no less than genius!!!!!!
I can not tell you the excitement I felt when I read your "easter egg dye" headline. I have been using easter egg dyes to dye paper for many years. What I was not expecting was all your amazing imprints and designs. I would say your experiments are 100% successful. Even though you express some uncertainties, I feel all the papers were stunning. I love your lace impressions and the experimenting you did with vinegar and other mediums. May I also suggest using baking powder/bicarbonate soda. Most of the easter egg dyes I find here in Canada are either liquid or tablets. I love the tablets and this is why. I run a childcare and have cared for children for many years. We include this dying process in our crafts all the time....We call it "magic". I break up the tablets to create a powder and though the dust has some faint colour we can not really tell what the colour is. We sprinkle the dust on sheets of paper usually the kind of paper you find on a large roll to create a huge canvas. I then arm the children with spray bottles or water spraying toys and let them spray away. The ooo's and aw"s are priceless very reminiscent of your excitement of when you first revealed your pieces with the lace work. I also find using different strengths of vinegar and or baking soda will react differently depending on the colour of tablets or even brands. We usually add the baking soda directly to the crushed dye tablet and sprinkle and then spray. Watching the reaction is amazing and we usually find ourselves doing this for the better part of a day. I buy the easter dye kits after easter when they are on clearance for pennies on the dollar. I also love that you mentioned the outdoor elements. The sunshine speeds up the drying process and changes the colours. We also love the rain because it does all the work for you. We pick a day when rain is forecast, sprinkle our paper while it is not raining and do a little rain dance, if we are lucky the rain comes down and creates "magic". I could go on and on but then I will be keeping myself from other videos of your amazing work and wonderful heartfelt stories...keep experimenting, that alone is priceless....hugs
Easy to find egg dye, now that it’s the Lent period, so the Easter dye kit is on the shopping list. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks, Luise. Little Miss Surprise is always surprising me. So many ideas to try. Thank heavens, hubby and I are retired, allowing me all kinds of time to experiment!
I love these papers!❤ On the parts that did not get any water, color or coffe,- I would use strong coffe with a ordinary brush! Very exiting to watch this video! Thank you!❤🙂👍
I love this so much ❤️. Thank you for taking us on the journey as we get to experiment along with you. I like seeing the process unfold and your surprise reaction as you reveal the beautiful papers. Thanks so much for sharing 👏👏👏
Super fun and informative! Love your results! Thank you for sharing your secrets with us! And your digital papers turned out AMAZING!!! :) Hugs Barbara
Thank you so much ❤️ here in my area you can get that dye all over the year. Perhaps you can find something as well, perhaps something similar to start TOMORROW ❤️
I love your laugh! It makes me laugh! Greetings from Southern California! 💕 I actually bought some of these at Easter, I haven't colored any paper yet but now that I've seen you've done him I'm so excited to do mine
So awesome!! Can't wait to try this out especially with my grandsons. They are so artistic and I love to encourage different mediums. They love making a mess at MeeMaw's.
I still like the papers you used the salt on even though you didn't care for it. There is going to be some changes with the acidity since you introduced vinegar. It's a fun experiment!
Oh my gosh! Love these papers! I loved the white spaces here and there. Reminded me of old world plaster! I have dyes and am going to give this a go. Thank you so much!
This has been an intensive lab experiment; even the tiny glitter at the end was amazing. I'm sure I am coming away with lots of after thought Professor Heinzl! Crazy about your animated voice by the way. Danuta ca
Hi Luise! I love how transparent, how raw/natural your videos are! And I enjoy watching your experiments! As for the differing salt reactions, I have experienced using salt in watercolor and have even done the same subject matter 3 times in a row making "salt trees", using fresh salt each time. None of them turned out the same as far as reaction. In my lesson with Lets Make Art here on RUclips they did teach me that it's all about timing, if the piece is completely level also the size of salt, (corse vs fine). Also, not to use iodized salt. Nevertheless, each of my pieces were different. I did winter scenery and used salt again in 3 projects. Each reaction was different even if I tried to replicate the exact same method. I believe in the timing is everything idea for sure, but I think it's even more.
What wonderful artistic pages. You are totally amazing in your quest for interesting design and you love to go that extra mile and try new things and ideas. I used to paint with watercolors and we used salt but never re-used the salt. We were told not too as it wouldn't do what is was suppose to. Perhaps the salt crystals already have absorbed the maximum of water and pigment and can't hold anymore? Try the next time to use 'fresh' salt, I also found that if I just sprinkled crystals so the didn't cover the area too much, I got better results. I think there are many factors, that give different results. One last thing is we never covered the paper with another paper, perhaps it was absorbing too much liquid from above??? I'm not a chemist, perhaps someone will give you more info on why it didn't work. As far as I'm concerned, each sheet was absolutely beautiful and I like surprises and you had a lot. Watching is half the fun...keep doing it. Hugs!
I think the salt issue may be that the first time you used it all of the iodine came out and once dried again there was nothing left in the salt to leave the beautiful marks. Just a thought, if that makes sense lol. This was a very cool, interesting idea! The lacey blue was stunning!! I think all of the papers came out beautifully!!! ✌🏼🧡
hi Luise, I totally love all of them! Even the white patches are interesting. Thank you for this inspirational video. It was what I requested in the second question of your "the show must go on" journal give away. Much appreciated, shall try it! Glad you couldn't wait until Easter, haha.😀
Thank you so much ❤️ there were so many suggestions below the other video, trying to handle that now. I think I have content ideas until the end of my life LOL
These are awesome! Salt needs to be really really wet to work its best. Easter egg dyes need vinegar to set them. I would recommend vinegar water instead of just water. I love how you try everything, and get such beautiful papers. Those pages would make a great ocean themed journal. I am still in awe of how you used the stencils on the rock out your pages video.
Loving this. I never thought of doing dying with Easter egg colors. I'll have to experiment too.. I haven't seen the powder, we get tablets. Good ideas. Thank you from America. Love you.
The paper was gorgeous! I have used egg coloring but I mixed according to directions ad just dipped the papers into the color in a pan. Then I took them out to dry.
Great experimenting! I gotta go dig around and see if I have some of those Easter egg coloring kits in my kitchen now! Maybe food coloring drops would work too? Hmmm....
thanks for all of this information and inspiration luise! you gave us a lot of guidance. i love how inventive and adventurous you are. thanks for sharing it all with us today.
Luise, hi 🙋. I just came over from watching the podcast you did with Barbara and Joie. It was very exciting and I look forward to seeing some more from you all. I really love what you're doing here with the Easter egg colors! I could dye paper all day long and now I have even more techniques to try. Very cool! It's nice to meet you 😁 and I'm excited to learn more from you. From your newest subbie from the southern California desert, MK ♥️🌵☀️
Oh Luise, the fires you have ignited!!!!! Ages ago, perhaps 30+ before we had access to the wondrous products of current day, I did a similar technique using generic Kool-aid, powdered drink mixes. I first wet my paper and then crinkled it. Add the dry powder mix, let dry and then run your ink pad over the ridges, it was simply incredible!!!!! I've never thought to try egg dyes, off to grab me a bunny basket full and give it a try, thank you soooooooo very much as always!!!!!! 🦋🦋🦋💜🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Each page was beautiful! I loved every single one of them. And I enjoyed this video because I have a boatload of Brushos but haven’t been able to find lots of uses for them. Now I do!thanks
Beautiful results! I thought you were using way too much liquid, but heck what do I know? I used rock salt many years ago and was told then that it only works once. You need a fresh batch to absorb the colour each time. BTW I really like the white patches and think it adds visual texture. TFS
Great papers! I have never seen easter egg dye like you have. I only have the ones that look like a little pill. I wonder if I crush the pill that it will have the same effect. It also requires vinegar in its directions. If I get a chance to look for it, I will try it out and see. Tomorrow I am headed to the doctor's office for a procedure, so I won't be able to do anything until I have healed. Aber ich will get back to you as soon as I can. See I am using some of the German that I know. I practice every day, but it is a slow go for me. Danke for your great videos and for speaking English,
Thank you so much for your lovely words ❤️ german is a terrible language! Your words are pretty perfect! I wish you all the best for the doctor's procedure! Get well soon!
Actually, I love the salt ones. Don't cut yourself short, it was a hit for me!!! I can imagine card backgrounds, punched ephemera, die cuts, torn paper, snoflakes and snowflake backgrounds. To me it looks much more natural than the doilie/lace. Maybe, since your salt was used before, it didn't soak up as much as new salt. I'll be trying it because I love it!
As a suggestion for drying, you could cover your oven racks with parchment or wax paper, set it to the lowest setting, and dry 3-4 pieces at a time. I found I still had to watch mine because the oven would still burn it if left in too long.
/The blue is clearer than the red, except that up close the red seems pretty detailed, too. Perhaps te red has a light scatternig or absorbing effect that makes it seem slightly blurred?
I’ve never seen the powdered Easter egg dye in the US, all I have seen is a hard little tablet and you put vinegar in with the tablet to make it dissolve, I’d like the powders, the effect. I’ve used the little tablets to dye paper but it’s very bright so I finally got smart and mixed it with coffee instead of water and that helps but it’s still pretty bright. I’ve had some saved in my refrigerator for, well since Easter, I hope it’s not moldy, I’m afraid to look.
Wow these are amazing! So inspiring that it's so late here but I'm thinking about getting out the coffee and the papers! So I was just thinking... Was the issue with the salt maybe because you had used it before? I don't know cause I never tried reusing it, but I know the reason it works is because the salt absorbs the liquid so maybe it cant absorb a second time?
Just wondering if the salt didn’t work quite the same because it had been used already. Maybe it was saturated from the first use. I am excited to try these techniques. So far my paper dying has been….less than successful.
I hear you speak of fails and I think , "if that is a failure how grand must be the successes?" All the papers are stunning. I've learned so much from you and other artists. Thank you for teaching to experiment with our expressions. You make us brave.

Even the "failure" sheets are beautiful. They are all so unique!
Thank you so much ❤️
It was a success. I love everything you do Louise. Never ending supply of knowledge.
All of your papers are awesome. I love dying paper. I'll have to give your method.
I just love your laugh. It makes me smile.
Thank you so much
I think that they are all a success, just beautiful, really! Thank you Luise for sharing this with us!
Wonderful and inspiring, even like your scrap paper with the cup rings and splatters of many colors. Thank you.
I love these papers!❤ On the parts that did not get any water, color or coffe,- I would use strong coffe with a ordinary brush! Very exiting to watch this video! Thank you!❤🙂👍
Beautiful... Looks like ocean water

Aww ❤️ thank you so much
Now I can't wait til Easter to buy egg dye.😄🐰🐇🐥 Your results are wonderful, really pretty.
Thank you so much ❤️ here in my area you can get that dye all over the year. Perhaps you can find something as well, perhaps something similar to start TOMORROW ❤️
@@luiseheinzl Thanks for that info. I will be on the hunt. I have dyed copy weight paper with food coloring & that was fun. Thanks again Luise.
Wow! Wow!! And Wow!! That's all I can say
I’m TOTALLY in love with this process. Thank you for expanding my thinking.
Thank you so much ❤️
This is interesting even the ones you called the pages a fail. I think the top lacey ones are beautiful!
You are a very good teacher thanks for the ideas

I love them all. The salt was second hand maybe why it was different. Ha!!!
Yes, I thought about that as well. Next time I will use fresh salt
This has been an intensive lab experiment; even the tiny glitter at the end was amazing. I'm sure I am coming away with lots of after thought Professor Heinzl! Crazy about your animated voice by the way. Danuta ca
Thank you so much ❤️ I am so happy you liked it even if it came out not exactly like I thought

Great experimenting! I gotta go dig around and see if I have some of those Easter egg coloring kits in my kitchen now! Maybe food coloring drops would work too? Hmmm....
Of course food coloring would work as well!
@@luiseheinzl Do you use vinegar with the food coloring? Or just water?
@@Dana-fn5zt I tried both
Wow how gorgeous are these papers!! Thank you for showing the raw footage and each step you did💕🐬
Thank you so much ❤️ I'm really happy that you like it even if not everything came out like planned
Wow!!! Good idea!! Thank you!!
Excellent video…
Beautiful!

Thank you so much ❤️
Amazing!!!!
I love the results ! So enjoy your enthusiasm when you reveal each paper 😀
Thank you for sharing ❤️👇
Thank you so much ❤️
You did inspire me!
I got right on Amazon and ordered plastic placemats and found some Easter dye in my decoration bin.
I'm in love with the blue colored papers! Really amazing! Thank you for sharing this new method with us 😀
Thank you so much ❤️
The papers are fantastic. Very interesting process and colourants. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

These papers turned out Gorgeous 💖. I've thought about using the Easter Egg dyes and now I know! Thank you for an awesome tutorial ♥️
Thank you so much ❤️ have fun trying it out!
Wow these are amazing! So inspiring that it's so late here but I'm thinking about getting out the coffee and the papers! So I was just thinking...

I don't know cause I never tried reusing it, but I know the reason it works is because the salt absorbs the liquid so maybe it cant absorb a second time?
That's what I thought afterwards... I think that was the reason! Will definitely try with using new salt the next time. Have fun creating your own!
I'd try mixing the powder with water and vinegar and spray or pour on.
Great idea!
I recently scanned a photo of the walls in my house that are faux finished and printed for a junk journal.
Love the lace papers! I’ve tried but mine never come out.
How did you try it? With heat? Sun? Oven?
Just wondering if the salt didn’t work quite the same because it had been used already. Maybe it was saturated from the first use. I am excited to try these techniques. So far my paper dying has been….less than successful.
I have thought about that in the meantime as well. Perhaps that was the fault. I wish you much success with your paper dyeing!
i'm wondering if the dyes would activate differently if the water was boiling.
Good question... I have to try that
Boy, children would have a hay day making a mess like this.
They look great but that vinegar is an acid and will ear thru the paper eventually.
You might be able to do this with kool aid.
