Hola que mordientes uso. Gracias

[@AannshaJones]

Experimenté con mordientes no tradicionales, por eso no funcionó tan bien.

Hi there.. I am loving your videos and have subscribed!☺.. I am really struggling tho with the eck printing.. I used white vinegar to presoak my cotton.. I then boiled the bundles for 2 hours in alum and vinegar.. There were no prints.. I'm in the UK and struggling to find the right recipe... can you advise at all please? I'm desperate to get a reasonable result as I'm becoming despondent with no results... help ... help please 😣 xx

Que mordientes uso?

[@AannshaJones]

Hola de nuevo María. He agregado subtítulos (closed captions) en español para ti. Y los mordientes están en el video. ¡Feliz experimentación!

[@monitrudakiya9986]

Im trying that but i didnt get that print

[@AannshaJones]

monit rudakiya Some materials are resistant to natural prints. I would suggest you try printing on wool or silk first as they readily accept natural dye. It may also be that the plant material you are using are not giving up any dye. Also, if you use eucalyptus leaves, you will need to heat for a long time.

[@jdmosaics]

Lovely, but I have found that Eucalyptus leaves don’t need a mordant at all.

[@AannshaJones]

You're correct Neena Me. I used a mordant because I was also using other leaves and wasn't sure if they were substansive dyes like the eucalyptus leaves. I also tend to use a mordant on cotton as I've found cotton does not print as easily as silk or wool/felt.

[@joycelinleahy2908]

How much onion skin do you use?

[@AannshaJones]

As much as I've managed to collect! The more you use, the stronger the colour. At least two big handfuls.

[@joycelinleahy2908]

Thank you. I tried it. :)@@AannshaJones

[@AannshaJones]

How were your results @@joycelinleahy2908 ?

[@joycelinleahy2908]

Interesting and beautiful - not enough onions though...looking forward to the next 'adventure'. :)@@AannshaJones

[@AannshaJones]

@@joycelinleahy2908 It's good to keep a journal of all of your adventures and experiments, to refer back to.

[@mariaceciliaalvarez4769]

Maravilloso!! Pero en español? Sorry
