Thank you so much for this! I've been playing with lake pigments a lot lately. To strain the bulk matter I've been using a re-usable nut-milk bag, it's much finer than a mesh screen and you can twist it to get the most liquid from it :)
Amazing video!! thank you so so much. I was wondering if you have a typical guide on the specific volume of dye solution, aluminum, and sodium nitrate you put in? I saw it was I think 40ml and 20ml of the latter two ingredients, but I wasn't exactly sure on how much volume of the dye solution there was. Cheers!
You are FANTASTIC! A Master Class! I appreciate your detailed instructions 😊 God bless all you do 💕 Thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge. Bendiciones 😇
Thank you for this wonderful, thorough video. I'm just starting to experiment with natural dyes and this was an extremely helpful tutorial. Is it possible to use a food processor/blender to break up the flowers and leaves before boiling? You mentioned bruising the leaves with a stick. If I dedicate a processor to pigments and no longer for food, could it work? Would it release too much chlorophyll and make the dye turn green?
Thank you for a great tutorial. My pigment isn’t separating from the water. What could I of done wrong? I followed the standard process 🤷♀️ Can anyone help me save them, I used lots of Rose petals and it took forever. 😢

Hey very new to this. Would you mind explaining how to get the 10% solutions? Could I just add the alum and soda ash to the dye extract?
Thank you THANK YOU !!
Lovely! I’m obsessed with laking dye solutions. Have you experimented with the colorfastness/light fastness of goldenrod?
Not yet. I will be doing it this Summer when there are more sunny days.
what temperature do you heat the mixture to? is there a specific temperature? or do you just keep it low enough that it doesn't boil?
plant pigments are sensitive to heat. i just heat enough to extract the dye.
Idk if anyone reading this can help but, if my water after laking is still colorful have I done it wrong? Thanks!

check the pH of your solution. You need to tweak the amount of alum and soda ash in your solution. every plant source is different.
