Hi everyone :) Fe de errata: * 3 litres of water* when Dunging the fabric after printing, not 30 litres. My e-book of How to create a mordant printing is now available on my website www.casacaribe.art/product-page/mordant-printing-with-natural-colours Hope you all enjoy the video! have a nice day :)

Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a sweet way! Such a surprising result, the ink black coming from the pomegranate; I would expect red or pink! 🤩🫶

Thank you so much for your kind comment. 🥰 is true when you dye with pomegranate you expect something like yellow or red, black is such an unexpected colour to get from nature. Lots of love 💚

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!❤

Hi 😊 I'm happy that you love this technique. Yes, you can use xanthan gum instead of guar gum, try to start with a small quantity and increase it little by little so you don't end up with a very think paste.

Very interesting and nice information on printing/painting with a mordant. If liked the orange color of the curtain fabric "spots", would that last when washed? or if like the brown color batter, just pull from pot earlier? I have no washing soda, so will try with baking soda. Egg shells are high in calcium carbonate, wonder if usable for this process. Is not as easy to understand , when music is playing when you are speaking. Will ck out your website and E book.

Hi! thank you so much for your comment :) I have never tried leaving the fabric with the orange colour, so I don't know if the colour will last, I will do an experiment. if you prefer a brown colour you can put the fabric for the pot earlier and wash it with cold water immediately. you can also use eggshells because they are rich in calcium carbonate as you said. I'm sorry about the fact that is difficult to understand with the music in the background, I will try to put the music lowers in my next videos. I hope you enjoy my website and the ebook. Have a nice day! 💚😊

This is a great video and has given me much inspiration! One question though... If I like the color given after using the soda ash to remove the gum, is that colorfast? Do I have to dye it again with the pomegranate skins, or other dye of my choice? I'd love to keep that lovely golden yellow/brown color!

Hi! thank you so much for your comment :) I´m sorry but I have never tried leaving the fabric with the colour given after using soda ash, so I don't know if the colour will last, I will do an experiment. In theory, the colour will last because the ferrous sulphate will create a bond with the fabric, but is always better to try it. I will leave a piece of fabric in direct sunlight and will let you know :) Hope you have a good day!😊

Thank you for sharing this. It looks super interesting. But I thought any food dye with tanning would be relatively colourfast? Would soymilk be sufficient to make it more colourfast?

@CasaCaribe

Жыл бұрын

Hi! you are maybe referring to red wine? wine is full of tannin and the colour is not colourfast, we said this because we are saying that the colour is not going to be a deep red like a red wine, you will get more like a brown stain, and THAT brown colour is the tannin. tannin has a great affinity for cellulose fabric but normally needs a mordant to create a long-lasting bond inside the fibre. that is why in this technique we use iron; Iron and tannin created a strong bond, which makes it colourfast. 😵

hi, thank you for this amazingly inspiring tutorial! i was just about to try it but turns out there's a supply disruption of pomegranates atm where i live and they're nowhere to find. may i ask, are there other dyes to achieve black/grey colors with?

Hi! thank you so much 😊 I'm happy that you enjoy the tutorial. I'm sorry to hear about the disruption of pomegranate, where I live we are having the same but with tomatoes 😟 You can use this technique with any plant that has a great amount of tannins, like oak galls, myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera) black walnut leaves, and Alepo oaks. please let my know if you can find any of this dyestuff where you live, have a great day😊

Hi thank you for sharing your video how lightfast is this - like can i use this for an artwork that should last long time?

@CasaCaribe

Жыл бұрын

Hi Evgenia, it really depends on the dyestuff that you are using, if you use a dyestuff that is known for being lightfast, the final product will be lightfast; this technique mordants the fabric only in the part in which we want the print to be, so if you use a well know dyestuff then the artwork will last a long time.

Hie can we store the mixture as well? If yes how long and refrigerated or not ? Thanks for the video

@CasaCaribe

Hi! Unfortunately, the mixture does not last more than a couple of hours, because the acidity of the vinegar will become less strong with time. So you will need to prepare the mixture from scratch every time :(

Hi Laura how are you? I sent you a question but did not get a response on your web site - if i use instead of ferrous sulfate - Aluminium acetate for printing recipe can i use over it a dye that fabric then over the pattern or writing with another dye that is supposed to give colour over aluminium acetate. And another question is should i pre-mordant fabric first for lightfastness... thanks

@CasaCaribe

Жыл бұрын

Hi :) I answered your question in the email, but I will answer here in case everyone has the same question: You can use aluminium acetate to make this technique ( the recipe is on my ebook available at www.casacaribe.art) when using aluminium acetate you will get the colour you usually get with alum, so for example, if you use onion skins the colour will be a robust orangy yellow. You don't need to pre-mordant the fabric because we are mordanting with the paste that we are creating, we are only mordanting the part that we want to dye. :)

Hey, do we really need to use the guar gum? Can’t we paint directly with the mix of Vinegar water and ferrous sulphate?

@CasaCaribe

Жыл бұрын

Hi, If you don't use guar gum ( or another gum) you will have a very liquid mix; when you apply it to the fabric it will cover the surface of the fabric quickly, we use guar gum to be able to paint more precise images. imagine that you are painting on paper, with guar gum it will be like acrylic painting and without it will be like a very watery watercolour. If you have a hard time finding guar gum, you can use corn starch. 😊

what part does the vinegar play?

@CasaCaribe

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jeanette, the vinegar creates Ferrous acetate; we need it to help the iron precipitate inside the fibre. 😊

How do you maintain it?

@CasaCaribe

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Reena, When we paint the fabric with a mordant past, the mordant will precipitate inside the fibre, later when we add the tannin bath, the tannin particles will create a bond with the mordant inside the fibre. This bond is strong and will allow the print to stay in the fabric for a long time. I recommend washing the fabric by hand using a gentle and neutral soap. 😉

Hi Ali, 😊 Yes, you can dye viscose, viscose is an artificial fabric that use cellulose pulp to create a fabric that looks like silk. because it is created with a natural material you can dye it; it will not take a rich colour like 100% cotton, but still can get a good result. Here I cannot find 100% linen, so I always use 50% linen 50% viscose (which is cheaper) 🌿

Hi Ruth, I'm so sorry for the confusion, I meant * 3 litres of hot water* . thank you for letting me know. The process that I do with soda ash & water is called _Dunging_ , which is a process required to fix the mordant onto the textile.
