I was an early childhood teacher (have a brain injury from car accident now). I taught haha zome and natural dye techniques to my students. I loved learning more natural and sustainable ways of creating art. We used to ‘explore’ the school gardens snd talk about plants and flowers. The children were so engaged and used to live predicting the results. I miss teaching. I have been inspired by you to explore the gardens and find some treasures to eco print with. Thank you x

[@mimiturbano]

If you are doing this with children, I bought smooth river stones for them to use as hammers (cheaper than buying 25 hammers for a class and safer - no wild swinging hammers)

[@TheBlondiesNr1]

Ive lived 4 years in my apartment without owning a hammer. Ive had to put up shelves and put together furniture. All with Big Rock. I even make mineral pigments from rocks and I use bigger rock to Crush

[@jasminehoover5359]

[@janetjohnson8931]

Love your tutorials. Please check pronunciation for zome (zo me). The 'e' sounds like 'eh'.

[@fairdinkum1079]

Hi thankyou soooooo much for sharing with us I am from India. I need to learn more from you. Can I get ur email or the direct contact number please. Thanks waiting for ur reply.

[@dipakparmar56]

Because i have tried before the same method, but unfortunately the colour spreads, so I do not get the beauty I want . thanks

[@causamoves]

Lovely.

[@thebarefootdyer]

Thank you!

Thank you!! ☺️🧡

[@nesspie31]

Brand new to this art! I can not wait to start! How can I find out what flowers will work best?

[@bellaterra3578]

Thank you so much! Just found your KZbin channel & subbed. Lovely & easy to follow presentation! 1 stupid ?; how do you iron after dye process, do you apply the hot iron directly on the printed side of fabric or do you lay a cover on top?

[@lauracfrazier6403]

Excellent!! Have you ever steamed after hammering? Thank you!!

[@thantwutyee3892]

Thanks for sharing. May I know the way how to lastlong this lovely ecoprint?

[@jessicadorlac]

How well does the color stay after washing? Can this be done to paper instead? Really cool video, thanks.

[@judithvanvliet2452]

love it! do I need to prepare silk with soy milk as well or only the plant based fabrics?

[@taru5011]

How to pre-treat fabric ?

[@kathylewis7543]

Thank you! Do you start out with damp material such as cotton or dry material? When ironing do you place another piece of fabric over it? Do you use a dry iron or steam??? Thank you.

[@antoniosantos2728]

Good afternoon from Portugal, this work is excellent. In the end we don't have to do any bath to fix the colors in the fabric? Thanks

[@dhanushkerankothge9723]

Hi this is very nice. Let me know how to keep colour? Is it bleeding when washing?

[@jayllia7663]

Hola,te saludo desde Cusco, Perú...Pregunta, como preparas la tela antes de la estampación?.....con que mordientes?...gracias Victoria

[@LaSullivan_ph]

Hi! How can I make the colour on the fabric permanent? Thanks a lot

[@dianekawagoe2330]

Thank you so much for such an interesting and informative podcast! As soon as I get something to use for mordanting, I will definitely be doing this. While I am no expert on Japanese language, I know a bit. I believe zome would be pronounced zo-me (like saying the e in eggs). 🤗

[@thebarefootdyer]

Hi Diane! So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Thank you for the pronunciation help :)

[@kathleenfarnsworth3717]

I love this! Can you use mordanted water color paper with this method? Thank you!

[@thebarefootdyer]

Yea! Absolutely! I have a reel on Instagram showing the results of my son using this technique on water color paper. 💛

[@juanarosa-gonzalez6705]

Hi ! I was looking the list of flower and leaves in the description. I cannot find it. I thought was mentioned in the video to look for it. Can you please add the information in the description. Thanks.

[@bevbranje3045]

What do you use on fabric to hold colour? I couldnt understand in your video

[@tahirashamim2166]

how can colors be protected after wash??

[@kimbatt-lincoln9011]

Can I make a washable cotton t shirt this way?

[@nikkizeober9875]

When you say scrub material, is that simply washing the fabric? What mordant are you pretreating for this process? I have been following you for some time and tried several mordant you suggested with no success 😔

[@rachaelm8679]

Could you use dried flowers and leaves? Beautiful film... thank you.

[@thebarefootdyer]

Thank you! The flowers and leaves should be fresh for this method.

[@LastMinuteLaura]

This was such a lovely video. Thank you for sharing it! I have been a lurky sub for a while now, but you were brought up in a live stream, so I though I would stop by! We chatted about you this morning on my channel, and discussed using your coreopsis eco printing tutorial to inform how I will be dyeing my bridesmaids dresses this summer! Thank you for making videos and sharing so much of your knowledge with us!

[@thebarefootdyer]

Wow!! That’s incredible! That will be so beautiful! Please share photos of your bridesmaids dresses when they’re finished. I would absolutely love to see them!

[@GwendolynGleason]

LOVELY! HAVE YOU EVER preserved leaves with glycerine and come back after a month and did an eco dye?

[@thebarefootdyer]

Thank You! I haven’t! Have you?

[@purpleconfusion6215]

I wonder, can iron mordant be used for this technique? The guides I've found mostly recommend alum mordant but i dont have that :0

[@luciahopple1773]

In your grocery in Spices!

[@user-yt9id8sv2x]

I'm from Thailand🇹🇭 and I saw your clip. It's really helpful.❤😊 I would like to ask if I wash this cloth. Will the flower pattern disappear???

[@sirlenemedeiros3570]

Tradução em português por favor

[@willowwarren-keily6603]

I didn’t mordant before printing. Is there a way to preserve them afterwards?

[@thebarefootdyer]

The fabric can be dipped in soy milk which will act as a sizing/protect the dye from uv light but unfortunately there isn’t a way to mordant post dyeing.

[@jennytakacs1831]

Beautiful work! What are some other colorfast leaves and flowers that work for this project?

[@thebarefootdyer]

Thank you! Goldenrod and marigold are quite colorfast for flowers. As for leaves, most are high in tannin so dipping the fiber in iron before pounding the leaves will help the leaf color be more colorfast.

[@Lisa.SpiritualWorld]

You pronounce it zo-me the second you said it right.

[@lynnegavinvermont5190]

How do you mordant or prepare fabric before hand?

[@thebarefootdyer]

There are a couple options. I have a blog post tutorial on mordanting using tannin & aluminum acetate here: thebarefootdyer.com/how-to-mordant-fiber-before-natural-dyeing/ This method leaves a bit of color behind on the cloth so the background won’t be stark white. For a white background, you’ll need to use a tannin free method. I exclusively share my favorite tannin free mordanting method in both my online mini & full length courses: thebarefootdyer.thinkific.com/courses/foundational-elements-of-natural-dyeing-cleaning-pre-treating-fiber thebarefootdyer.thinkific.com/courses/natural-dye-cellulose-fiber

[@lyrebird9749]

Thanks for this great tutorial. A lot of 'eco-dye' methods encourage using fossil fuel gas to heat to boil / steam your fabric (not very eco if you ask me!). So I'm excited to try simply hammering. Do you have a list of plants that work well, aside from marigold? And would eucalyptus leaves work? I'm in Australia.

[@braveheart2851]

No mordant ingredients used though .

[@cindygraham7405]

So you use a spray seal at all for holding up in the wash?

[@taylorseal5280]

Nope! The fibre is pre-treated with a mordant, usually alum or aluminum acetate with a very small amount of ferrous sulfate (iron) used. Some dyes in plants will hold up better than others to washing, but they can all be washed. Some that she used I know do well are indigo leaves and coreopsis.

[@serenahartwell]

Thanks for this lovely video-I found you on Instagram and am so glad I did! What is the weight of the rubber mallet you’re using?

[@thebarefootdyer]

Hi! Thanks for being here! I’m not sure - I’ll check and get back to you!

[@cindygraham7405]

Question I don't get what you are saying to do when done, I'm sorry I can't understand what you are saying? So you wash the material beforehand? I'm confused. How besides ironing do you make sure flowers are "set" so you can wash in laundry. Also can you do this on Jean material?

[@nikinik2198]

Hi there. I’ve just left a comment on how to make the dyes permanent so you can wash your fabric. It’s in Spanish but you can use Google translate. Soft cotton fabrics work best. Denim (jeans fabric, as you called it) may not be suitable besides that it needs be white or other light color. Hope it helps

[@anasullivan6992]

How would this work on paper? Have you done it?

[@thebarefootdyer]

I have! Here’s an example: instagram.com/reel/CTuuHl1FyU3/?

[@c.9926]

Did she wet the fabric before starting to hammer?

[@thebarefootdyer]

No, It’s dry ♥️

[@myeucaemi2376]

Happa zome is pronounced like happa zo-may(trust me I am Japanese(^_-)-☆) Your step by step instruction is beautifully presented and the result is just amazing!

[@thebarefootdyer]

Thank you, Myeuca! ☺️💕

[@bellashibako3612]

No, it’s not. Japanese vowels have short sounds unless it has the ‘-‘ (dash) then it can be lengthened. Zo-me ぞめ/染めhave short vowel sounds. ‘Zo’ (ぞ)like in /dog/ or /Bob/ and ‘me’ like in /pet/ or /ten/ Copy and paste these characters: 叩き染め (tataki zome) on KZbin and listen for reference. @thebarefootdyer thank you for the video! Although, I wish you added how to pretreat fabric here too. I will look for more on your channel.

[@thehadster7043]

this fabric cannot be washed. how do you make the fabric washable?

[@thebarefootdyer]

Hi, I’m not sure I understand. The fabric I work with in the video can be washed.

[@thehadster7043]

@@thebarefootdyer Yes, but the DYE is not set. So, if you wash the garment, all the leaves & flowers will wash out. So, how do you "set" the dye?

[@thebarefootdyer]

Oh I see! In the beginning of the video I mention that I’m using mordanted fabric. The mordant and the dye bind together which is the most permanent way to set dye with natural dyeing.

[@belakumar2386]

Hi...did u mordant the fiber first..

[@thebarefootdyer]

Yes 🙂

[@belakumar2386]

Thank u 🌼

[@katrinaharata]

Do you spray your flowers with vinegar before using?

[@thebarefootdyer]

I don’t - vinegar doesn’t do much in the natural dye process besides shifting the pH. I mordant my fiber beforehand.

[@katrinaharata]

@@thebarefootdyer thanks!

[@thebarefootdyer]

You’re welcome:)

[@katrinaharata]

@@thebarefootdyer I used alum water for my first try. The prints look really beautiful in my cloths. Is ironing a must? Or the hot sun would suffice?
