Hello! This is truly a beautiful video!! ❤ I have never seen such results in other videos on botanical printing. It is so beautiful!❤❤❤ Could you please write which chemical reagents you used on all the pieces of fabric, especially on the one with a dark blue background and colored leaves on it, for how long, and in what proportions? Thank you!

[@janneleestudios]

If you want a blue background, you will want to use cyanotype chemicals and you will get a negative print of your plants. First you need to mordant your fabric if you are actually printing. (You do not need to mordant for cyanotype). I use vinegar, aluminum sulphate and iron sulphate. Then I use chestnut extract and oak gall extract for the blanket. It's a real science experiment. I will eventually offer a course on this, but I can't at this time due to the agreement of my disability. I'm thinking of late summer or early fall of 2025 to offer the course. I hope this helps. You can also mordant with soy milk for another completely different look.

Thank you very very much for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive response!😃 I will test this option. I wish you a speedy recovery and look forward to your new videos!!

[@janneleestudios]

@@CarpeDiemSedMementoMori You are quite welcome. Good luck experimenting!

Beautiful results .I like how patient and passionate u are .Thanks for the video

[@gillianmilburn3712]

I loved watching this process outside with you. I know almost nothing about botanical printing so it was lovely to see this process and the distinctly different looks achieved using a water blanket. I think this will be a clip I will look at again in the future. Thank you for sharing your passion

Absolutely beautiful!

Merci

[@karellarsen939]

I loved your video and also subscribed to your channel. Your Fabulous !! Thank you so much! Lots to learn and to have fun. May I ask what you will use your fabric for?

[@janneleestudios]

Thank you so much! You can see what I did with them here: jannelee.com/gifts/brush-rolls and Here: jannelee.com/gifts/zipper-bags

The cat wants to be in the print too, ofcourse.

[@roxihardegreeart]

Lovely!

[@janneleestudios]

THANK YOU, ROXI!

[@theresawatamaniuk6562]

a very relaxing video...and beautiful botanical printing! Are you just boiling the wraps in plain water...and how long do you process?

[@janneleestudios]

Thank you Theresa. They are actually steamed for a couple of hours.

[@yelena86]

Thanks for sharing this beautifully relaxing video. I love how they turned out 🙏❤️

[@lyrebird9749]

Hi, these are so beautiful but it's a little hard to hear your voice. Is it possible for you to put the names of the plants you use in the description?

[@janneleestudios]

Leaves from a mimosa tree, service berry bush, rose bush, wild raspberry bush, maple tree, honey suckle, bamboo, weeds . . . My advice is to experiment with what is around your local area and take a lot of notes! Your notes will help guide you season to season. I will be offering a course on this in the fall of 2025.

[@marninegley]

Did you mordant your target fabric with iron and use a tannin blanket and that’s how the background became purple?

[@janneleestudios]

Yes, I mordant with a combo of iron and aluminum sulfate. And I use different blankets. Some are with chestnut, some with oak gall. Sometimes I combine the two. Oak gall gives a soft purplish look

[@anndotsey1910]

It looks as though the water blankets are also printed. Please tell me what kink of fabric you are using for the print and what kind of fabric you use for the blankets. Are these now permanently dyed?

[@janneleestudios]

The main fabric is 100% cotton muslin. The water blanket is a French terry cloth. Yes, the muslin is permanent due to pre-mordanting the fabric. The blanket gets used over and over for background color.

[@MelW123]

Just wondering if you could turn up the volume of your voice? The music is loud but it is hard to hear you when you speak. And yes, my volume is turned up all the way😁

[@janneleestudios]

I will keep that in mind in future videos. Thank you for the input.

[@noeraldinkabam]

Maybe see a doctor for your hearing. I hear her fine at 60%. Or maybe something is wrong with your apparatus?
