What a delight to see Mo Jackson working with those young girls and introducing them to this art. Even more fun to hear their delighted gasps when then unrolled the piece and peeled it back to discover the beautiful design that they had made.
I've done a few batches over the past 2 or 3 years and this is, without a doubt, addictive. I call myself the 'leaf theif' as I drive around town eyeballing the lovely trees and shrubs of unsuspecting people....bahahahah! Yesterday, I thought I'd try a batch with only vinegar, no iron or any other metal...fair warning, it didn't work at all. It all goes back into the dye pot today with my rusty bits to do their magic - thanks for sharing this great video!
What a wonderful video. I have only just discovered eco dyeing and I am hooked. It was wonderful seeing the look on the girls faces when they opened their bundle. Thats how I feel with every page. I have only tried this with paper, but that boiling urge has reared its head again and now I want to try this with fabric whilst I still have a few leaves left on the trees. The jacket you showed at the beginning of the video was gorgeous 💕
Lovely, thank you. Do you put the rolled tubes in plain boiling water or do you add the alum or what ever in that bottle to the boiling water? What is the ratio of the alum mixture in your bottle? Thanks so much I just loved this.
How entirely charming! I really dig your particular brand of Zen lemme just say. And the girls, aaah, the girls were such angels! Ya know we may never come to know just how we've touched another in these Our Beautiful Lives! Rest well knowing you've made an imprint there, that day! LoveLOVELove. Did you say printing on silk lends MORE colour? I surely would love make scarves using your technique! Any chance for a tutorial specific to colourful scarves then?! ~X🌾🌸🌿X~
I sure hope she told the kids to wash their hands after handling the leaves that were in the iron solution. Quite irresponsible. (while wearing a glove herself).

By far the best ever video on eco printing.
Vinegar, alum , iron water are mordants. They are fixatives. Help the tannin in the leaves to fix into the cloth.
Totally found this by chance and I find this so interesting! Oh my goodness at the possibilities.🙂

This is exactly where my mind went halfway through the video - I need to steal some leaves!

More info needed: aluminium sulfate is toxic, how much of it leeches into the environment when you do this?
Lovely, thank you. Do you put the rolled tubes in plain boiling water or do you add the alum or what ever in that bottle to the boiling water? What is the ratio of the alum mixture in your bottle? Thanks so much I just loved this.

Did she teach at Hogwarts?
I sure hope she told the kids to wash their hands after handling the leaves that were in the iron solution. Quite irresponsible. (while wearing a glove herself).
Oh for goodness sake, get over yourself!
