- Join me at The Color Farm to make a gorgeous mandala eco-print on textile using dye flowers and fresh leaf indigo. A simple hammer technique is a quick and easy way to capture the vivid natural color of late summer. This tutorial will introduce you to the amazing dye flowers of coreopsis, cosmos and pincushion (scabiosa) and show you how to enjoy the blue-green eco-prints from indigo leaves too. You will see my results on a cotton tote bag for inspiration to step into the natural printmaking world.

Love this so much. 💕💕 🌸 I make a floral mandala every Monday & share on my IG. 🌸 The trick is to put down your largest leaves to make a wagon-wheel design with the ‘spokes’ evenly spaced. 🌸 Then fill in with the flowers 🌸 going round & round making the desired design. 🌸🌼 I think the going round & round repetitively to fill in the mandala is what makes the process meditative. 🌸🌸 You are so fortunate to have this flower farm nearby. 🌼🌸🌻🌺 I’m envious ‼️
I love seeing your Monday mandala on IG! Silly me for not reaching out and getting your tips and tricks 😘 I thought I was doing right by sticking to one type of flower, like your 'spokes', but I kept getting confused. Pre-selecting similar sizes of each flower/leaf might also have been a good strategy. Will keep enjoying your creations for inspiration 💕 Yes, I feel very lucky to have stumbled into The Color Farm. Hope I get to crop share next year!
i tried the hammer technique on a border of an old tea towel years ago. I loved the look but I didn't use a mordant or let it set overnight so it washed out with use. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Its great to understand why things don't work the way you think they should. Leonie
Thanks for sharing some of your hammer eco-print results, Leonie 💚A mordant might be the single most important step in preparing fiber for natural color - such a great 'secret' in the dyer's world. Curiosity and welcoming whatever nature is willing to share is also super important aspects of keeping a dye practice fresh and inspired. Sometimes it works and sometimes it challenges us to keep trying 😉
Pretty 🦋🐞
Truly a color bounty! Thank you, Lala 🌼
Auch dieses Video war sehr interessant lieber Birdy. Vielen herzlichen Dank aus München!
Schön, dass es dir gefallen hat, Szuszanna 😊 Frohes neues Jahr!
Blue hands!
Oh sooooo blue! It really shows up in this video. Only my nails are still blue now 💙
I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thank you so much!
So happy to hear, Ada - welcome to Color Quest 🌼
Another great video!
Another sweet comment - thank you BJ!
Wow wonderful love it 🌹♥️
Thank you so much, Rosa 💚 It is such an easy way to enjoy flowers long after they fade.
Stayed blessed. Informative tutorial. I wish I will learn with your videos❤❤❤❤

You are amazing. Mahalo
You are very sweet - thank you!
It's awesome👍
Many thanks! Hope you get to try it out this summer 🌼
Ciao, molto bello e utile 😄
Grazie! Sono così felice che tu abbia trovato utile il video 🌼
Super nice🌼🌺
Thank you, Katy. Super fun too!
No entiendo como preparas la tela antes del martilleo ,me encantaria me lo expliques muchas gracias ,hermoso
Para este proyecto, la fibra es algodón, así que la traté con acetato de aluminio. Puedes ver el proceso en otro video (Summer Flower Eco-Print 3:25 min). Otra opción aglutinante es la leche de soja, que es muy fácil de conseguir. Aquí también puede encontrar un video sobre cómo preparar textiles de esa manera.
Very beautiful .. I hope in the future you will make a video of fabric dyeing from Sapphan Wood Brazil wood 🙏😊🌺🏵️
Thank you very much, Sanjot 💚 I was lucky enough to dye with Brasilwood while I was studying in Oaxaca, but I didn't bring any of that home to my studio. However, I do have some Sappanwood shavings, so I will add it to the list of future videos. Many thanks for the request!
Whats the difference between this technique and the one where we steam the fabric with those flowers pounded onto it
Hammer pounding dye flowers is a quick way to transfer the color to fiber without needing heat. Steam printing is another great way to capture color on fiber which can have a more water color effect and uses the power of heat for the transfer. You need to bundle/tie the fiber to create pressure for the colors to print. I have several videos in the Eco-Printing playlist showing both of these techniques with different types of flowers.
@@MargaretByrdColorQuest thank you 💗 for explaining
You are most welcome 🌼@@purvaharlalka2529
Traducir por favor ,hermoso quiero aprender
¡Hola hermoso! Lamento mucho que los subtítulos no funcionen en este video. Gracias por hacérmelo saber. Voy a editar el video para solucionar este problema. Por alguna razón, seis videos diferentes en mi biblioteca no generaron subtítulos automáticamente, así que estoy muy feliz de que lo hayas notado. ¡Besos!
Hi Margaret! I sincerely love your videos!!
Hi Ada - welcome to Color Quest! So happy you are enjoying the content 🌼 There are many things that can make a big difference in the lasting power of natural color and eco-prints. Using a mordant is one of the most important things, but unfortunately, vinegar is not a mordant (it is a pH modifier). Depending on what type of fiber you are using (protein or cellulose), you should pre-treat with a form of alum or in combination with a tannin. I talk about the mordant I used for this cotton piece (aluminum acetate) in the video and you can watch my playlist on mordants for more information. Also, yes, the type of flowers you are using can also make a difference since some or more fast than others. I chose flowers in this video that are known to print well and last longer. Hope you can try again with better results 😊
@@MargaretByrdColorQuest Thank you so much! For the information and for answer that quickly!
I will try my best, and I will continue watching your videos. I think I can learn a lot of you, so, thank you for your work in this platform :)
Atte. Your new fan
@@dichycaos My pleasure 🤎 The only post-mordant I use is iron (ferrous sulfate) which is also a color modifier, so will shift the color of your flower prints. Personally, I always pre-treat my fibers with a mordant before doing anything else. I'm not sure how effective a post-dip of a mordant would do, but you can always try it out 😊
@@MargaretByrdColorQuest Thank you again! Yes, I know that is better a pre-treat... but I have had the problem that I thought that the vinaegar was a mordant, and I made two beautiful totebags with flower print... and now, because of your help, I know that the fabric is not prepared and I know too that if I clean the totebags, the print will go out xDDD And I'm trying to save their xP. I'm really thank you, for all your coments and the dedication of your time.
@@dichycaos If you have some spare cotton, you could do a quick flower print test and dip it in an iron bath after to see how it might change it. If not, you could try it with just one bag and see what happens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
