Sooooooo beautiful farm!!!!

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Yes! I have had so much fun working with Max and Amy at The Color Farm the past two years 💚

[@lydiannaturalslydiasaunder4044]

How inspiring! Thank you ✨✨✨

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Many thanks to you, Lydia, for sharing so much love here in the comments section. So happy to finally be catching up with all of your thoughts and questions 💚

[@Chris.Faassen]

Would love to visit the Color Farm one day. I did not even know farms like these exist. Your videos starring this farm and the bundle dye result in this one are fantastic. Very meditative to watch...

[@somepinkflowers]

…Was thinking the Same Exact Thing. 🌸🌸🌸

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

@@somepinkflowers Great minds think alike 😉

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

We could certainly arrange that 😘 It was a total surprise to me too and I feel so lucky that it is right around the corner from my place. Hope to spend time there again next season 💚 Thanks for your sweet words...

@@MargaretByrdColorQuest , indeed it does! Keep on coloring! Watching your new and older videos too! Spring is coming! Im planning to plant things to make salsa and flowers for dyeing!

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

@@bettyereece1951 Hard to stop coloring once you start 😉 Enjoy the Color Quest library! I just started dye plants from seed, so will have a video soon about that too. Your garden plans sound yummy 🤎

Whiiii åååå it's beautiful, must plant them next year 😍👍,, now we have snow well or rain snow 😛 blääää,,, love you're channel and videos 😁❤️ thank you for sharing ❤️👋🙏🥳

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Yes, yes, yes! I hope you can add some of these to your dye garden 🌼💛🌼next spring. The rain is also setting in here in Washington, so it is time to slow down. Hope you have a cozy winter season! Thanks so much for watching 😊

You are very welcome! 💚🌼💚

Love this! So very informative and I love the way the bundle looks! Can you use parchment paper or wax paper as a barrier?

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Many thanks, Mary! Yes, you can use parchment paper - this is what I used in the video - but make sure it is white. I tried it with brown parchment and it discolored the textile. I'm not sure what the heat would do to wax paper, so I would stick to parchment 😊

[@Rawman_56]

Lovely video. Thanks for the video. Did u premordanted the cotton fabric used for this bundle project

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Many thanks! Yes, the cotton was pre-treated with aluminum acetate. I discuss the mordant process around minute 13:30 in the video and I have a process tutorial that I link to directly as well (Eco-print with summer flowers). Hope it helps!

[@Rawman_56]

@@MargaretByrdColorQuest thank you dye much..

[@ayshashai3415]

Hey may I for long does the colour stay on the fabric?like any after care for these prints

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Natural colors live and breathe and change over time, but if you properly prepare your fiber with a mordant, the print can last a long time. If you treat it gently by washing in cold water and air drying out of direct light, it should last even longer.

(( I am So Envious of your blue hands. 💙 I want some blue hands 💙 ))

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Heehee 💙 It was kinda fun while it lasted, but I did freak some people out 😊 I still have remnants on my nails, but it is growing out and fading fast. Soon it will be just a lovely memory! You too will have blue hands one day...I just know it 💙

[@penlennon3576]

such clear prints! i've never used barrier paper before. Did you mordant your cotton fabric? thanks for sharing your information

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Thank you, Pen! The barrier paper is a great way to keep the print from reprinting on itself when you roll the textile. Basically, you just get the one print you design which helps make it more clear. Yes, I pretreated my cotton with aluminum acetate which I discuss around minute 13:10+ in the video. Check it out 😊

[@fabali6380]

How do you preserve rose petals for bundle dye later on?

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

I have pressed fresh flowers in sheets of parchment paper in heavy books that I've used later for eco-printing. You could easily do this with rose petals 🥀

[@meringeorge4755]

Is this Butter paper and barrier paper is same? Pls reply

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

The barrier paper I use in this video is parchment paper which is used for baking. I would imagine butter paper would work too.

[@nettra3080]

Hi, what is the barrier sheet you've used here? Is it like a tracing sheet or butter lining sheet. Kindly do let me know

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Hi! I used parchment paper here, but make sure it is white. I used brown in the past and it also transferred its color to my textile. You could certainly use tracing paper or palette paper too.

[@sveapea72]

@@MargaretByrdColorQuest that is a great idea 😍👍❤️ thank you 😁

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

@@sveapea72 Thank you, Pernilla! Let me know how it works for you 💚

[@Rawman_56]

Is alum acetate is safer to use.

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Yes, it is a compound salt that is considered natural and safe for the mordant process if it is handled properly. It is a very fine powder, so you should wear a mask when you measure it to avoid inhaling it. Once it is in liquid form, a mask it not necessary. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to wear gloves to handle the powder too, but I have never had a reaction to it.

[@BodyworkByYves]

Do the color farmers have a site or social media profile?

[@MargaretByrdColorQuest]

Yes, they do, and I'm sorry I forgot to put it in the description on this video. You can see the full list of their social media links in the description of the first video I filmed at The Color Farm: Fresh Leaf Indigo - Salt Rub.
