Nina Ribena After I eat a jar of Beets I fill it with Paper Towels, napkins or Tissue Paper etc. Then I lay it out on a Plastic Tray or a Glass Casserole Dish & let it dry out! So Pretty!!!
My grandma always made onion skin dye for my Easter eggs. I so wish for those simpler times. Thank you for sharing, this has been very informative. Happy Mother’s Day (here in the states).
Lucky you with the sheep at the bottom of your garden. We are rural too and had sheep all around us up til the foot and mouth in 2001...it decimated the farmers. We also had pet goats ourselves for over twenty years...five beautiful girls that I miss so much. Enjoy having them there Nina.x
ohhhh they're darling! My sister is raising sheep for the first time and this week had her very first lambs--six!! aren't they fun! Love your beautiful papers, too!
These came out beautiful! I was thinking of just looking at them and not using them. Ha ha ha. That’s a a true junk journal approach, ehhh? Just sit back and admire?? Thank you so much for the tips!
Loving statistics, I think that everyone should have charts with the variables! I will have to re watch this video, stopping and starting, So that I can compile a brief synopsis of eco items used, the quantities that you combined, mordants added, various paper types, results, etc. Seriously, it would take less time to do so that to replicate your experiment (and results) would take! Hahahahahaha Thank you so much for not only doing the work, but for sharing it. I know that I do not have some of the papers that you have. TFS, again and again!
Thank you for sparking my interests in eco dying again. It really is fun to see what results you come with. You made me laugh when I seen all the papers scattered across the yard. And the sheep! simply precious. Big smiles here. Thank you 🐑
Wow Nina what lovely colours and affects . Looking forward to seeing the journals. It makes me think of medieval times and how they dyed things. Of course, loved the sheep, we used to call the Suffolk sheep "Black nosed ears"!!!!! Hope you had a lovely Mothers Day with your boys being home.
Thanks Christie, glad you enjoyed the video. We celebrated Mother’s Day here back in March. Its strange that we celebrate it at different times, but I hope you had a lovely day 💕
Oh, my-what sweet, little faces there at the end! You must live in a beautiful area, and you have such a lovely garden, too! Stunning papers!! I really need to try dyeing my own papers, but the wind blows so in our part of Northern Arizona, I’d have to clip each page to the clothesline to dry.
Glad you enjoyed seeing the sheep. We are very fortunate to live in the countryside which has been a blessing during this pandemic. I hope you’l give eco dyeing a try, even if you have to dry your papers indoors. Happy Creating 💕
Nina Ribena We live out in the country, too, on 7 acres, but it’s a very different landscape. Ours is high desert country with lots of cacti, etc. This is where we retired to, but I do really love lush countryside best. One good thing with our weather is that I could dye papers outside almost every day of the year. Stay safe 🥰
I have tea dyed and coffee dyed and had not heard of eco dyed papers beyond that. My goodness the outcome of your processes is fabulous! I really like the papers which you did with plain onion skins and water. And the sheep just made my day. They are adorable! Thanks for sharing these techniques. I gotta try them.
Oh dear, Nina. You've hooked me on dying paper sheets of all types. All the hand painting in the world could never give the same effect as Eco dying ! Thanks so much.
wow, this is a jammed packed video. I really enjoyed your eco dyeing and may give it a try. Loved the seep bonus at the end. I live in a city, so I never see farm animals. Thanks
Love, love, love the papers. I’ve only dyed some with tea and coffee. Will be trying this. I fell in love with sheep on a trip to New Zealand the beginning of this year. I was amazed at how many breeds they’re are.
Wow! Isn't it amazing what results you got. I was sure the onion skins would give you a lovely ruby tint. What gorgeous papers. And the sheep are so cute. Take care. Stay well. Smile daily.
What a great addition to your nature stash! These are so awesome. The covers look like they were done at the same time. These are going to come together very well. Thanks
Good morning nina, loved the "cooking with nina"....can imagine how much you enjoyed this. The "set" was so eco...birdsounds in the background and when you were spraying it was as if there was a little pig with you ha ha.... Your experiment was a succes, the papers turned out beautiful., it should not have been a windy day, for a moment I imagined you running around rhe garden after your papers. Next week we will see you use the papers, can't wait.. Have a good week, stay safe and thank you for this lovely video. Xxxxlena
Good morning Lena. I’m glad you enjoyed my experiments. I had so much fun making these papers outside. The weather was so still and beautiful, and very different to the weather today which is cold grey and windy! Have a lovely week and I hope you stay safe and well too 💕 xxx
Omg! I absolutely love all the pages. i have to say that as my new kitchen isn't complete yet I have used some other methods to dye some pages and I see that you have done it similarly. i didn't do many pages do. I haven't ironed them, so that's the best solution to smooth them. i will try with red onions and beet that I have today. And the sheep are adorable! you've made my day! thank you so much. Take care! hugs
Great video Nina - enjoyed seeing the results of the different applications. Your grass looks like mine after I've been gel printing! And that ending - awwwwwwwwwww
Simply brilliant! Thank you so much for experimenting for us. I have used avocados and red cabbage to dye paper, but never yet tried using mordants. After seeing this, I def need to give it a try 😊
These eco papers are lovely. I learned so many tips and tricks. I have wondered how they were made flat thanks for sharing your ironing tip. I have never tried this with paper But yellow onions give a beautiful red color to do eggs. 7 onion skins will give 18 brown eggs a beautiful red eggs. You add the vinegar to the onion skins as well.
Fun! I have done a lot of eco printing leaves last year as well as making many eco dyes for dyeing blown out eggz last year. I enjoy the process of experimentation. I made a acocado dye they other day ( it is in my fridge) simmered for hours and a bit darker than yours. I will be playing this week. May add a mordant or modifier. ( I have iron and copper solutions). Fun!!
So cool! I just dyed papers with my step-daughter using old herbal teas from a sampler. Great way to spend time during quarantine. Next time will be avocados and maybe purple cabbage, or CoolAid, we'll see. I'll add vinegar, but will wait on the alum, she's still young. Thank you for the ideas and experimentation!
Happy Mother's Day. Thank you for the special share at the end. Your sheep were delightful so very very cute. I felt like I was there with you reaching out and petting them, too. You were very thorough in your Echo dying experiment and the results were breathtaking thank you for sharing. God bless and stay safe!
Fascinating! thank you so much for sharing your "recipes". Looking forward to trying these. I just did some (much more ordinary) tea dyeing today; I experimentally used my food dryer. My food dryer is rectangular, with 12 shelves, so I put the soaked papers (copy paper size) two to a wire shelf somewhat overlapped sideways; put it on lowest setting for an hour. Worked brilliantly. Put some others into my oven on lowest setting for well over an hour on a baking tray, would probably still be waiting hours later, so they went into the food dryer too. So if you have a food dryer with rectangular type arrangement, it works very well. The overlapping didn't cause any issues; you can rearrange them to get the overlapped bit dry half way through. P.S. the dried papers have very little patterning to them, but that's what I wanted.
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia I've got a Sahara brand (can dial down the temp and set to high/low for air flow) but I'd imagine any dryer with rectangular shape would work, because they're A. cheaper to run B. Way less likely to catch fire and C. Very quick. Which meant for me (no place to just air dry wet papers) I could actually try all these great paper dyeing techniques at last. Just be mindful opening the trays when the paper has dried, because it naturally curls up a bit.
Well, that was fun! As soon as I saw your papers spread out over the lawn I immediately thought, "I couldn't do that! All my paper would wind up in the next county", as it generally is quite breezy around here! I really like the way the iron worked with your dyes. I suggest that you get yourself some hibiscus flower tea and try that out. When you get it really strong it looks quite red but makes a beautiful blue dye. I don't know what it would do with Iron or Tannin in it. Mordants are quite amazing. I used to dye wool, and there are some amazing gorgeous colors that come from lichens, especially seaside lichens -- golds and reds and browns. Thanks for sharing this, Nina. Such a fun video.
Thanks Ellie, glad you enjoyed it. I have quite a few herbal teas in the cupboard that I want to try and I think I still have some hibiscus flowers, as I added them to the papers I made a couple of years ago, so it would be interesting to try it as a plain paper dye. The weather is picking up again this week and I am itching to get back outside to play some more! Have a super week. I’m really enjoying seeing the progress you are making in your garden 💕
Great to see you so fired up Nina .. love the effect of all that Natural cooking ... :) May get brave and give it a try without the extra additions . Thank you as always for the inspiration. Stay well. Love those sheep so friendly . xx
Oh they where so cute ,,,, Some gorgeous papers you have created Nina,,,,. Did anyone else notice the ones you did towards the end and you used onion skins and water the top paper I could see a Face ??? A great idea ,,,,. 🌈👏💕😊🎨
Oh fab.... I loved the different effects you got... I will definitely be doing avocado dying as they are in the freezer ready and waiting.... Missed the good weather now though.... Hi to the cutie sheep ❤️❤️😁😘
Hope you get to give it a try soon. I’m itching to get back outside now that the weather is picking up again. All the wild flowers are coming into bloom 💕🌸🌿🌼🌸
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia yes me too I love being outside... Our garden is a suntrap so my papers would dry really quickly... As long as the wind dies down! 🤣🤣
Always appreciate seeing people experiment with eco dyestuffs. Just got to say though, it would be funny to have a counter for every time you said just ; )
Thank you so much Nina, that’s really really helpful and useful too. I really really love 💕 those papers, some of them look like abstract art. I’m going to have a try at this soon. And that journal 📔 with the eco dyed paper, is stunning and gorgeous too.Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Gorgeous papers!! 😍 I just tried some avocado papers….. I used some baking soda in the solution & cracked open the seeds & gave a really dark, rich color
What a fabulous effect and I have to say I loved your woolly friends at the end of the video. We live in the country too and our back garden often looks like the holding pen for the extras in water ship down. Although I wish the rabbits could distinguish between lawn and vegetable patch 🥴 Thanks again for suggesting this technique think I’m off to see what gems I can make from rhubarb leaves.
Haha. We had a bad case of Myxomatosis here a few years ago and have not seen rabbits here since. They are lovely, but are a bit of a nuisance aren’t they! 💕
Oh Nina, I love these papers! These are beautiful! Isn't it amazing what can be acheived with peels? Thanks so much for sharing this project. 💕 Sweet cuteness!
I often use beet juice, juice from unusable blueberries. You should try hibiscus dried flowers. Boil in water first layer paper dampened add flowers layer again. Dry flowers they can be used again. Great striations! Using alum and vinegar does definitely produces darker colors.
cocoa powder mix with boiling water and paint by brush.....I add to this 1 tsp caramel essence and smell good...... almost you like eat paper...... result is dark chocolate brown......I made this paper last week and dry on drying line, because her in south africa in Cape Town is summer....best for you, ursa

Very lovely and interesting results! Those sheep looked like they were waiting for food to appear! Thanks for sharing!
I think they were. It was 6.30 in the morning, so I was there before the farmer arrived 💕
ohhhh they're darling! My sister is raising sheep for the first time and this week had her very first lambs--six!! aren't they fun! Love your beautiful papers, too!
Awwww, I love lambs. We haven’t had any lambs yet this year. Still time I guess 💕🤞
Mad Professor 😂....loved the garden absolutely covered in papers lol! Awwww...love how all the sheep come over to see you.X
Thanks Lynda. Certainly kept me entertained for a couple of days 💕 x
Looks like you had a whale of a time, Will be exciting to see what they get made into. You were right, real cuteness at the end xx
Thanks Ali, glad you enjoyed meeting the sheep 💕 xx
Beautiful colors!
These came out beautiful! I was thinking of just looking at them and not using them. Ha ha ha. That’s a a true junk journal approach, ehhh? Just sit back and admire?? Thank you so much for the tips!

Simply brilliant! Thank you so much for experimenting for us. I have used avocados and red cabbage to dye paper, but never yet tried using mordants. After seeing this, I def need to give it a try 😊
The mordants make such a difference I think. The whole process is fascinating. I want to try my hand at red cabbage and beetroot too 💕
Thank you for sharing definetly going to try this
Thank you and happy creating 💕
Your are such a joy to watch !!! Love your ideas and really appreciate you sharing them with us
Aw, thanks so much Liz 💕
These eco papers are lovely. I learned so many tips and tricks. I have wondered how they were made flat thanks for sharing your ironing tip. I have never tried this with paper But yellow onions give a beautiful red color to do eggs. 7 onion skins will give 18 brown eggs a beautiful red eggs. You add the vinegar to the onion skins as well.
Thanks Lorie. I would like to try yellow onions as well. I find ecodyeing fascinating and there are so many things to try 💕
Thanks so much for the tips! Will try them soon.💚💚
Beautiful, I absolutely love the marbling effect! 💜🧚♀️
Its fascinating dyeing like this. The results are beautiful, and that crinkle ........ 💕💕💕
Wow, your papers are beautiful. I am impressed with all the variations of color you achieved. Thanks Nina, have a great week.

So cool! I just dyed papers with my step-daughter using old herbal teas from a sampler. Great way to spend time during quarantine. Next time will be avocados and maybe purple cabbage, or CoolAid, we'll see. I'll add vinegar, but will wait on the alum, she's still young. Thank you for the ideas and experimentation!
I have just discovered that baking soda is good for preserving the colours too. Happy Creating 💕
The baking soda/vinegar reaction is always fun to see and might have cool effects on the paper! Thanks for the idea!
Beautiful can't wait to try this technique, thank you very nice video on how to do this.
Thank you so much. Happy Creating 💕

Thank you so much Nina, that’s really really helpful and useful too. I really really love 💕 those papers, some of them look like abstract art. I’m going to have a try at this soon. And that journal 📔 with the eco dyed paper, is stunning and gorgeous too.Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Thanks Mags. You should definitely try it, it’s such fun. Have a good week and stay safe 💕
Awesome information.
Glad it is helpful 💕
Gorgeous papers!! 😍 I just tried some avocado papers….. I used some baking soda in the solution & cracked open the seeds & gave a really dark, rich color
Oooh that’s interesting. Next time I purchase avocado, I will try this method. Thanks for sharing 💕
What a fabulous effect and I have to say I loved your woolly friends at the end of the video. We live in the country too and our back garden often looks like the holding pen for the extras in water ship down. Although I wish the rabbits could distinguish between lawn and vegetable patch 🥴 Thanks again for suggesting this technique think I’m off to see what gems I can make from rhubarb leaves.
Haha. We had a bad case of Myxomatosis here a few years ago and have not seen rabbits here since. They are lovely, but are a bit of a nuisance aren’t they! 💕
Oh Nina, I love these papers! These are beautiful! Isn't it amazing what can be acheived with peels? Thanks so much for sharing this project. 💕 Sweet cuteness!
Thanks Sherry. I was amazed at the different results 💕 x
I often use beet juice, juice from unusable blueberries. You should try hibiscus dried flowers. Boil in water first layer paper dampened add flowers layer again. Dry flowers they can be used again. Great striations! Using alum and vinegar does definitely produces darker colors.
A great video, love your papers❤
Thanks Heather 💕
cocoa powder mix with boiling water and paint by brush.....I add to this 1 tsp caramel essence and smell good...... almost you like eat paper...... result is dark chocolate brown......I made this paper last week and dry on drying line, because her in south africa in Cape Town is summer....best for you, ursa
