How to make Golden Rod Lake Pigment

[@Raevynn14]

Thank you so much for this! I've been playing with lake pigments a lot lately. To strain the bulk matter I've been using a re-usable nut-milk bag, it's much finer than a mesh screen and you can twist it to get the most liquid from it :)

So amazing. I have loads of goldenrod near me I would love to see more florals in to pigment❤

Amazing video!! thank you so so much. I was wondering if you have a typical guide on the specific volume of dye solution, aluminum, and sodium nitrate you put in? I saw it was I think 40ml and 20ml of the latter two ingredients, but I wasn't exactly sure on how much volume of the dye solution there was. Cheers!

Thank you for this wonderful, thorough video. I'm just starting to experiment with natural dyes and this was an extremely helpful tutorial. Is it possible to use a food processor/blender to break up the flowers and leaves before boiling? You mentioned bruising the leaves with a stick. If I dedicate a processor to pigments and no longer for food, could it work? Would it release too much chlorophyll and make the dye turn green?

Hey very new to this. Would you mind explaining how to get the 10% solutions? Could I just add the alum and soda ash to the dye extract?

Thank you THANK YOU !!

[@Pixpaint1]

what temperature do you heat the mixture to? is there a specific temperature? or do you just keep it low enough that it doesn't boil?

[@JyotsnaPippal]

plant pigments are sensitive to heat. i just heat enough to extract the dye.

[@annakingsley1728]

Lovely! I’m obsessed with laking dye solutions. Have you experimented with the colorfastness/light fastness of goldenrod?

[@JyotsnaPippal]

Not yet. I will be doing it this Summer when there are more sunny days.

Thank you for a great tutorial. My pigment isn’t separating from the water. What could I of done wrong? I followed the standard process 🤷‍♀️ Can anyone help me save them, I used lots of Rose petals and it took forever. 😢

[@JyotsnaPippal]

check the pH of your solution. You need to tweak the amount of alum and soda ash in your solution. every plant source is different.

Idk if anyone reading this can help but, if my water after laking is still colorful have I done it wrong? Thanks!
