Great tutorial! But I must admit, I found it SO random and hilarious when she said ‘I’ve got a few rusty things I’ll just throw in there’, and then she put in an old rusty chain 😆 that was great!
I have never heard of doing this before - I was glued to the screen - fascinating!! Very cool... thank you so much!!
So glad you enjoyed it Judith!
me too!!
Me three! 😊
Judit
Yes me too too lol
❤ We're so glad we saw from beginning to end. The Fun we had seeing and learning together. The enjoy in learning something new and trying on thinking outside the box . news ways too create. Ty for sharing 💓looking forward on learning more.
Thanks for watching!
You did a great job. Your laugh is so contagious. Makes me giggle when you giggle. I will definitely try this process.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Marsha!
Ooohh another project for my neighbours to give me strange looks! LOL I plan to do this outside! TFS
You'll be that crazy lady who cooks her plants!
I have similar issue that you ... but who care 😁😁😁🤣
Fun tutorial Shannon. OK here's a clue girlfriend. "Leaves of three let it be"!!!!!! If it has only three leaves per cluster it is no doubt poison Ivy. Great idea to "sew" it up to secure it all together. The end result is amazing. Sooooo...guess what I'm going to do lol. Your videos get me in trouble, I should be cleaning my house instead of foraging for leaves & weeds lol. Plus I have to roam the neighborhood for some rusty junk too, OH MY LORD Shannon lol.
LOL Thanks for watching!
Awww me to. Sometimes im at work lol
5 (leaves) thrive, 3 (leaves) flee! 3 leaves are poison ivy
It’s 2023 🇦🇺 I love your video tutorial. It suits me fine to use a simple approach without having to buy Alum….no one here sells it locally. Looking for rusty nail! Starting today and can’t wait. Thankyou
OMG I can’t wait for our weather to be nice and flowers to bloom so I can do this too. Awesome idea to use the mesh and wire and rocks and rusty junk. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you dear!
I'm just starting out scrapbooking I'm 86 years old can't get outside so I decided to do something inside but this is fascinating I really enjoy your channel thank you a lot for sharing
And thank YOU for watching!
GLAD YOUR GETTING TO DO ALL THESE COOL THINGS AND NOT MISSING OUT...GOOD LUCK.
TEA BAGS ARE FUN TO.
KEEP CRAFTING.
GREAT THERAPY. CAMILLE AUST.
Keep it up. My mom just passed away at 90. This sort of thing helped her. I wish she had done more. She did some of it with my kids, which was a win win for everyone. I was her caregiver, and I'm positive that doing things like this are absolutely useful in helping you to stay healthy.
wow, love this idea going to have a go. We have a lot of foliage in Ireland so no shortage of leaves fabulous
Go for it!
I'll add my awe to the fray! Do it AGAIN!!!
LOL Thanks my friend!
The thing I appreciate most about you, Shannon, is how you always unselfishly promote other artists, but of course I always love your ideas, execution, and genuine sense of wonder at your results.
Thanks so very much Susan!
I made a couple batches myself, they come out wonderful and I loved the process! I love how you never know what'll happen unti it's over. I did figure out for myself, too, that boiling the pages twice - with new plants in them each time - can make REALLY cool results!
Ooohhhh, what a great idea!!
:)
I laughed when I read that "you never know what will happen until it's over". That pretty much sums up about 99% of my art projects!
Hehe mine too! If not 100%! :D
I LOVE your videos you always make me laugh! LOVE your personality! These are SO PRETTY! Living in the pacific NW we have a lot of green, my yard is like yours! 5 acres of stuff
Oh I bet you could get some pretty awesome prints!
Oh my gosh! Quick, find a pot! I need to do this! Thanks for sharing, it’s brilliant!
Thanks, it’s fun too!
I think these are absolutely fantastic and such an easy process with a surprise reveal! As I was watching, from across the room I hear my husband say "Debsue, close your mouth!" I realized I was in such awe with the results, I had my mouth wide open! And it's so awesome you get a different design on each side of the paper and the shades of color are so pretty! I definitely need to try this! Thanks, Shannon! Hugs, Debra!
LOL Thanks Debra!
Wow! We did this in grade school... the second one you opened, looked Absolutely Camouflaged (the envelope"
I love how these turned out! Gorgeous!
Thanks Deb!
artzology I
This is also my first time seeing this and I love the results. I've Always been an earth girl at heart. Definitely going to give it a whirl !
I'd very much like to thank you & other u - tubers, such a talented group of people with endless ideas.✌to all.
And on behalf of myself and other RUclipsrs I'd like to thank YOU for taking the time to watch!
OMG you had me giggling so much when you started talking aboit about poisonous plants hahaha. When you said save me from myself that was it for me 🤣. Because thsts so me. Dive head in without making sure cuz I get so excited to do whatever it is thats got me totally enthralled. Only a couple minutes in my first video of yours and I already adore you ❤
fabulous! I'm really tempted to have a go. And maybe throw some beetroot in too, for a magenta hue.
So cool! Wish I were there so we could make a mess together. 😂Seriously, I really enjoyed watching. 👍🏻
Oh Barb, we would have a BALL!
Good Fun For All! A great activity for older children.
Definitely!
They are really cool. So I guess I won’t throw out my large pan yet! Tfs. Blessings.
You'll need it the day after you toss it ;)
Indeed, that always happens to me! Glad I saw your vid before tossing my large pan out. Had been thinking about that, lol. God bless, Lenneke
This is awesome. I love how the papers came out. I guess I'll be watching out for a pot now. lol They remind me of the Rorschach test...which I have never taken mind you. lol Thanks for sharing Shannon. Loved it. :-)
LOL All Rorschachs look like a uterus to me and I'd prefer not to have that analyzed!
lol Can't say I blame you. lol
The papers are gorgeous! You can use the ones that tore as collage pieces, too. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
very gorgeous eco prints, I have to try this! Thank you Shannon.
WOW! Have no words for how much I love this technique. Some came out very strong patterned some really subtle, but I loved them all. Thanks for opening a new world.
So glad you enjoyed it!
The mauve flower is vetch. Those came out so awesome and brilliant!!!!!!!!!!! I really love 💕 this, and I’m going to definitely have a go at this. Thank you so much Shannon xxx Mags
Thanks Mags!
Crown vetch was used along the highways for weed control in PA back in the day.
now i didn't know that... :)
I've always heard "Leaves of 3 let them be" That would be poison ivy. I love the way they turned out! I would love to do some but I just don't have the patience with my anxiety.
Thanks for watching Donna!
Great testing and I love the results. I was excited to see each paper lifted to see the results. It was as if I was right there with you. Thanks so much for sharing.
And thank YOU so much for watching!
I knew that you can put the leaves and paper sandwiched under heavy pressure to get a similar result. I didn't know of this method, thank you very much for sharing, I think the finished book pages are wonderful, nature is such a great inspiration and paper loves nature!
Thanks so much for watching!
Shannon, check out Carolyn Arnett on RUclips as she has 2 videos on the how she does this and the results. She only boils for 10-15 minutes, let’s cool, pours off the water and let’s the papers sit 24 hours before separating. She had beautiful colors. She did not add the vinegar but I’m going to add some to help the colors stay set. Red and yellow onion skins did great. She did different papers like yours too. Her videos were 2 months ago.
Oh how interesting, I will definitely check her out. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for mentioning C Arnotte. Also check Nic the Booksmith. I think she got the best results of all.
Carolyn Arnett
Really AWESOME tutorial and results! I was waiting for you to pull out some hemlock. And then the internet would groan with a collective, "Nooooooo!" Hahahaha ;-)
"Leaves of three, stay away from me!" for poison ivy. (Painful lesson from the summer of 1973). Also, they turn a bright, beautiful red in the Fall and then drop off and don't stay in three's--because they are evil.
Those sneaky ivy leaves!
"Mwahahaha!" ~Ivy leaves
I remember watching one and she had these pretty purple flowers which I recognised as Nightshade.. lol she seemed fine after :)
Awesome papers! Your video was great and a great tutorial, very easy to follow and definitely makes me want to try it.
Thanks you for posting it.
So awesome!!! I'm going to have to try this :D Thanks for sharing it step by step.
You could throw old tea bags in there too!
Great idea!
Ooooh, and different kinds of tea...
I sometimes buy tea that I end up not liking the taste, so I save those for tea dyeing!
Those were Oak leaves. You should get a book on trees and plants of your area and study it. Would probably be a big help.
It probably would!
not only that but there are a few hundred different kinds of OAKS hahaha
Deb Cobern I agree. Knowing the tree name would make communication clearer and more exact. These are beautiful.
Shannon Green this is amazing!!!
you mentioned poison ivy. Some plants have poisonous juices you may not want to make a stew of that and breathe in vapors or expose your skin.
Research would be good beforehand especially if kids will be included in collecting and wrapping the leaves in paper.
bodichitta mommy p
Thank you! I've been wanting to know how to eco dye; now I just HAVE to try it! Yours are the prettiest I've seen! Thank you again
Thanks for watching!
I’ve watched several videos on this and yours turned out so great! I’m definitely going to give this a try!
simplemente bello un besazo y mi like
Thank you!
Hey, you are making Stone Soup!!
LOL Yes I am!
looks like shale or slate
Do you think that's what gave the grey colour?
No, more likely if it's a mud stone, rock has to be thousands of degrees hot to change. Shale and slate are metamorphic and mudstone is sedimentary. Sedimentary is less stable and may release a mineral colour when boiled; may .....
I watched this twice already! It’s fascinating and I have to do this! Thanks for the tutorial! I love it!
Give it a whirl!
This is awesome, and no special ingredients required! I'll be trying this!
Go for it!
So cool! I need to find myself a pot! I've heard that you need to boil outdoors because of chemicals released. Is that true? Thanks for sharing this, Shannon! ❤️
I have no idea about chemicals being released. I know that Rosemary does hers inside her studio and she's still relatively sane so... Heh ;)
Not so much the chemicals, but the smells might be a little MUCH for in the house!
Shannon Green hahaaaaa!!
There is a slightly not-too-pleasant odor if you stick your head right over the pot, but it doesn't stink up the whole house...not even close.
I heard that too. Someone suggested finding out which plants are tonic.first
Super cool! Too bad I live in the desert where every plant has sharp spikes lol
LOL Deadly technique for you!
What about trying vegetable leaves like beets, purple cabbage etc left from preparing food?
I live in New Mexico and have the same problem. But, I just gathered what I could and tried this. Willow and tamarisk worked beautifully. It wasn't easy, but I found enough to make a beautiful batch.
Omg your comment made me laugh so hard I had to run to the bathroom. I needed that!!! Thanks
JUST A PITY THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST SENDING GREEN STUFF, COULD HAVE SENT U A PACKAGE.
loev this process of eco printing . now i have a great idea of what to do with watercolor paper along with eco printing with nature i will experiment with dying it with tea or coffee . cant wait to go back home and get me an old pot and some rusty nails from a thrift shop and start doing this more often and create and design my own unique papers
I’m so glad this was inspiring for you!
I am so happy it’s gorgeous I’m so into dying every thing still have dying party s at my age of 72. I’ll dye anything with anything
Thank you for sharing this with me
you made a veggie burger
Ha! Sure did :)
I got just as excited as you did with every page... love it
Thanks so much!
I was looking for stamped backgrounds and found your video. Need to go raid mom's garden. Grandma will be looking at me funny. 😂😁
It'll be worth it!
I’m going to try this! I’d never even heard of this before. Thanks for the great video - beautiful results!
Thanks for watching, I hope you'll give it a try!
I have never heard of a boiled book, but this looks so much fun. What surprise each page is when you open them up!
It's like watching magic happen!
Oooh something new to try! I've never seen this before. Love these prints 💗
Thank you Debbie!
How fun! They came out magnificent! 🙂
“Boiled book pages”? How on earth do people come up with ideas like this?! I’m so glad there are whackadoos in this world, because life is so much better with them in our lives. What pretty pages!
I agree!
I am gonna try this. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day 🦋
Thanks for watching!
The ones that just have color remind me of marble. These are gorgeous!
They are sort of marbley!
Oh my goodness, Shannon, this is one of the most fun instructional videos I have ever watched. I love your relaxed and 'oh well, let's see' attitude and your adorable laugh! The results were absolutely beautiful. As far as what you're going to do with the paper... coming from a serious paper addict, who cares... it's paper... :)
Thanks so much Barb!
Great discoveries here Shannon. Thanks for the smile while you filmed. I had to laugh at the wasp thing. I would have been gone before anyone knew it myself lol. Great vid.

Thanks for watching!
Tfs, they came out beautifully,👏👏👏
I absolutely LOVE how these pages came out I will have to try this! I'll just need to find a way to bundle it all together tightly.
I've done it with rubber bands and it works just fine!
I’m addicted to your videos!! Always something new and interesting to try. I am a paper addict as well. Most is well organized and ready for our move from the north to the southern state of Florida. Can’t wait to get in my she shed and put your ideas to practice in my journals and art work. Thank you for always being engaging 💕🌻
And thank YOU for watching!
these are so cool looking. I really like the envelope that you showed 1st as you were separating the paper wet.
Me too!
What fun, Shannon! Since we moved across country our garage no longer has good ‘ole rusty junk stuff, so I will have to start a hunt for stuff that’ll rust, then I will wander around the property for leaves and such. Thanks for playing and sharing with us how to do this, along with Rosemary’s video.
Thanks so much for watching!
WONDERFUL!!! I have a hike planned for later today, so it is perfect that RUclips suggested your video!!! I can't wait to try this!
Your information was clear. I feel like you walked us through the whole process. Thank you!!
Thank YOU for watching!
Super amazing and awesome effects.. would look just amazing in a journal for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Shannon Green thankyou
Super cool! I've been wanting to do this for a while, so now that things are green and flowering (and I've seen how fantastic yours turned out), I must get at it! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Go for it!
Amazing! These turned out gorgeous! I cracked up when you started throwing the rusty items into the pot!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Me too..😆😆😆
What a fun way to eco boil papers etc using weeds & vegetation. The outcome of these is so stunning whilst being quite easy to create without too much fuss. Lovely papers & idea. TFS
Thanks so much for watching!
I really love this. And that you took such detailed time to teach us how to do it. I can't wait to try.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Very cool, Shannon and thanks for make this great video. Surely makes my mind start wondering around our backyard and neighborhood park wild for the many plants that I have access to. Each year I press/dry wild violets in a large book. which always turn out very well, but now I'll have to give boiling a chance with different leaves and shrubs. TFS
These would go great with your pressed flowers!
looks like you got a lot of natural elements handy
wow!!!!!!!!! definitely trying this! thank you! love your sense of humor, thanks for making it fun!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Such a great idea, they came out beautiful. Just in time for my holiday craft making. I am preparing my stash, and these would be great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Tried this today. Wow!! I'm in love. Ill definitely be doing a lot of this. They turned out so beautiful, thank you for making this technique sound so fun :) thanks for posting.
I'm so happy you gave it a try!!
I haaave to try this!!!! What beautiful results Shannon. Can't wait to see what you do with them! You've just fired up my mojo TFS Much love Jane :) xxx
Woo hoo!! THanks for watching Jane!
Thank you for inspiring me to take my siccers into the garden and do some ecoprinting!
This is entirely too cool and fascinating! So doing this! Thank you! Hugs, Kathy
Thanks for watching Kathy!
