How To Eco-print on Silk/ Natural Dye

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I finally made the highly requested eco-printing tutorial. I I bring you guys along my hand printing process how to eco-print on silk. I teach you how to scour, mordant, bundle, and steam silk fabric. This is a natural dye technique that can be applied to any natural fiber. I love printing with eucalyptus, wild flowers, and rose leaves. I hope you all enjoy my printing process! Can't wait for you all to try this.

    This looks like such a fun project! I plan to try it. Next year when the leaves are changing colors here in the mountains of the Carolinas, I plan on dying enough for a slip top, pants and cocoon style jacket. I think the reds, yellows, oranges with a splas of green will be perfect. Then I'll use the leftovers to cover a pair of strappy heels. You've got to have the right artsy shoes.

    I love the sheen on the silk! Btw for other folks reading -- if you're doing this project please mind your mordants: cellulose (plant based, cottons, rayon etc) fabrics are generally a bit trickier to bind colors with. Ppl generally use just alum but I didn't find it satisfactory for my fabrics so I use alum acetate (1:1 mix of potassium alum sulfate & alum then chalking) rather than the lengthier tannin process that most ppl recommend. Protein based fabrics like 100% natural silk or wool are easier to color with. Also rather than boiling iron pellets you can opt to bulk buy additives like ferrous sulphate powder (darkening agent) or chalk (makes your colors more vivid), they're relatively cheap

    I think that should work, you can also opt out of using wrap and use another piece of fabric and roll, then you get the front and the back prints of the foliage.

    When you said to keep shiny side of fabric upside, I realised someone must have cheated you. Silk doesn’t have shiny or non shiny sides. Silk is same both sides and it’s never this silky. It’s shiny, but it’s never this silky, even the best degummed silk will never be this silky. Just sharing
