really cool, the colors really come alive in the outdoor photo of the blue fabric with chicken wire. Beautiful, thanks .

[@AannshaJones]

Thanks Leah!

[@catrineberlatier5735]

Hi, the result looks nice BUT salt doesn't neutralise vinegar. You should use bicarb soda if you want to neutralise the acid.

[@Naturalborntillers]

ohhh thanks so much! Can't wait to try this

[@AannshaJones]

My pleasure! Have fun!

[@Naturalborntillers]

@@AannshaJones enjoy your happy demeanor also...do you have other tutorials? And am unclear as to how to support you for your kindness. Explain when you get a chance...I am 'old' tho and not techno adapted, heheh

[@AannshaJones]

@@Naturalborntillers Just liking and commenting on my channel supports me thank you. To watch more of my creating videos, just go to my channel main page and choose from my videos there. Here's the link: kzbin.info I am spending most of my time making beach jewellery now and have another channel with my husband called kzbin.info. It's about my sailing adventures on my home-boat with my husband. We retired, sold our house, learned to sail and have bought a yacht to live on in the Mediterranean. We've had many adventures on our journey as novice sailors and have travelled from Spain to Turkey and Greece. We're currently in a little boat yard in Evia Island, Greece while everyone waits out the pandemic. There's not much in the way of tutorials on that channel, but watching those may be fun for you too! You can also support me there, via our Patreon page if you'd like. It's been lovely talking with you and so glad you like my "happy demeanour"! Stay healthy! Kind regards, Aannsha

[@holgerlarsson7531]

This is sooo cool! One question, do you need to do anything to fixate it or does it stay after washing?

[@emmacook8139]

Fabulous

[@AannshaJones]

Thank you.

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Fantastic, wanted to know how to rust fabric...

[@AannshaJones]

Great!

[@juneorr3612]

Do you use fresh or dried eucalyptus leaves?

[@AannshaJones]

I used fresh ones from my garden.

[@izabelnunes1828]

Maravilhoso trabalho!!!O resultado é surpreendente!!!!Parabéns!

[@AannshaJones]

Thank you!

[@RikuIshmaru]

Could you use rust powder and get a more consistent result? For instance putting your fabric into a pot with rust dust or rusty iron and simmer it so that it dyes the whole fabric?

[@AannshaJones]

If you want to rust dye the whole fabric I encourage you to experiment! Keep a journal of your results so that you can repeat the outcomes you like

[@nobody-bi6ui]

so interesting 😍. Is there any material could we use instead plastic wrap ?

[@cokeandrum2985]

No

[@ariesgrl-fe6lt]

can i reuse my same copper piece if ive done it once already?

[@marvihs23]

GODLY BEAUTIFUL.

[@thatcoffeefeel8]

Wow I didn't know clothes could be dyed with rust

[@AannshaJones]

It's amazing what you can do with material and 'natural' ingredients isn't it?!

[@lisagiddens7014]

Interesanticimo. Por cuanto tiempo lo cocinas al vapor? Gracias

[@AannshaJones]

De nada. :) Menciono el tiempo que tomó para darle vapor en el video. Una hora. :) Perhaps someone can add an English-Spanish translation subtitles? ¿Tal vez alguien puede añadir subtítulos de una traducción Inglés-Español?

[@sofiastrandbech4079]

do it need a after treatment to remain the print, so it stays after washing?

[@AannshaJones]

No, but make sure you wash it before you wear it as you don't want residue of the rust left. One printed, it will last!

[@beverlea1961]

The video itself was great. I just feel it would of been much better with sound. 😉

[@AannshaJones]

Thanks for your comment Beverley and glad you liked it. When you say "sound", do you mean music? Because I do talk all the way through the video as I'm printing the scarf.

[@willowcoyote7290]

Did you use a similar process to do the print at the end which mixed rust and leaves and flowers?

[@AannshaJones]

Yes I did. Here's a video I made you may find interesting kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3TRcmuQrJWbd5I

[@lasoul680]

So should indigo dye my fabric first and then do the rust dye???

[@AannshaJones]

That is what I did. But you could experiment with different orders and see if you get different results!

[@vst3223]

Love This!!! What did you use to pre-dye your linen?

[@AannshaJones]

Thanks! I'm not sure what the dye was as it was done in a workshop someone led and it was so long ago, I really can't remember.

[@craftyhobbies]

is it safe to wear the tshirt if its got rust on ?

[@AannshaJones]

Rinse it well first. I'd probably give it a wash in a gentle laundry liquid.

[@bixnash1]

How long do you leave the cloth in the Steamer please. Results are lovely! and are the results permanent? Bx

[@AannshaJones]

Bixxy Nash Thanks! I steamed it for an hour. (Check out 4'24 in the video 😉 ) and yes this result will definitely last!

[@bixnash1]

Thank you I missed hearing that bit!!! Bx

[@HeidiCarson-r6o]

How would fix it so it wont fade when you wash it? Or will it not.

[@AannshaJones]

It didn't fade much with washing at all. Wash in gentle detergent.

[@LeonaFraser1]

Do you have more videos similar to this one Im trying to absorb as much info as I can digest and some I cant lol

[@CraftingVicky]

that is very cool! since you did a t-shirt I suppose that this will withstand washing? New subbie!

[@AannshaJones]

It's a linen scarf actually ;) but yes, just wash it gently. Should last ages!

[@CraftingVicky]

but didn't you show a t-shirt at the end of the video? anyway both were beautiful

[@AannshaJones]

@@CraftingVicky oh yes, you're right! Sorry lol! As with all natural dyeing and printing you will find they fade over time. Then you can just reprint over them! However I have found that the deeper rust prints lasted well. Just make sure you rinse your tee well after printing to get all the rust off You don't want it on your skin and also, it can be quite harsh on the fibres. 🙂

[@r.thomassen6285]

@@AannshaJones Natural dyeing should not fade any more than regular dyeing, if the natural dye itself is lightfast (berries and rootbeets are not lightfast, for example) and if you have used a mordant for protein fibres or soda ash for cotton. I don't know if vinegar has something to do with making metal rust quicker or what it is, but vinegar is the total opposite of what cotton or any plant based fabric needs to make dye stick to the fibres. Cotton needs high ph for dyeing, and vinegar has low ph. So I guess the vinegar will make the natural dye fade and wash out. Try soaking in a soda ash solution instead of vinegar, that should work much better. Natural dyes have been used for thousands of years, and if used correctly, the fabric or yarn should not fade or wash out more than commercial dyes.

[@AannshaJones]

Thank you for your valuable input R. Thomassen. I do agree with you in terms of the different mordants for plant fabrics and often use alum (potassium aluminum sulfate) for tee shirts. Vinegar is my choice for wool felt and silk fabrics but this time I used it more to assist with the rust as you supposed. I actually made this video on the spur of the moment as you will have seen, and used the chemicals I had at hand in the kitchen. I was very pleased with the outcome and it has lasted well. Thank you for your comments.

[@flawlessraw]

Did you pre scour and mordant with this one? x

[@AannshaJones]

I had actually died that at a recent workshop, and the material had already been pre-treated.

[@rafaellopez8149]

hello pretty..thanks for the tutorial ... if i use this technique on a shirt..is rust not toxic to use it?

[@AannshaJones]

Thank you! Most chemicals are toxic to some degree. So it is important that you wear gloves while you are rust printing the material. Also make sure you wash it thoroughly before you wear it.

[@321ndy]

How long did you steam for? :)

[@AannshaJones]

An hour.

[@DefineYourDesigns]

What did you use to dye your fabric

[@AannshaJones]

It was a cold water dye but I'm not sure which one as it was dyed at a workshop.

[@maribellongueira]

Preparas antes la seda o el algodón? solo usas vinagre para mordentar y sal para fijar?

[@AannshaJones]

Sí, tanto de seda y el algodón. Sí, sólo uso vinagre para morder y sal para fijar.

[@AannshaJones]

... Sólo he utilizado seda y algodón, pero siempre se puede experimentar con muestras de otras telas y ver qué resultados se obtienen.

[@baileyhopkins9113]

Do I have to steam it? Or can I just leave it to sit for a while?

[@AannshaJones]

You could try leaving it. You could do some test pieces and leave them for different lengths of time. If you keep a journal of your experiments you'll be able to repeat your results.

[@AannshaJones]

If you do this as a project, what rusty objects are you planning on using?

[@imgoingtotellyourmom]

horseshoes!

@@imgoingtotellyourmom Oh that sounds brilliant!

[@imgoingtotellyourmom]

@@AannshaJones I'm thinking about trying it on my cement porch floor, too. Your fabric is just gorgeous!!

[@AannshaJones]

@@imgoingtotellyourmom Oh I'd so like to see that!

[@TVBASICINFO]

If you use this method on clothes,,, what happens after its been in the wash...???

[@AannshaJones]

Swagmuffin It is fairly strong although like any natural dye it will eventually fade. But I have found mine lasted ages. A lot will depend on how often you wash, what laundry detergent you use, whether you dry it in direct sunlight etc. You would want to ensure it is washed thoroughly before wearing though. I'd suggest trying it on an old piece of clothing then wash and wear as usual and see for yourself. 🙂

[@TVBASICINFO]

Aannsha Jones cheers sweetie :)

[@LibellulaGlass]

Fading actually gives a great effect itself, and then you can co sider that the background and re dye the clothes with another eco process like rust bath dipped leaves etc. then you can keep having a new designed article every few months! Adapt to the materials.

[@AannshaJones]

I totally agree LibellulaGlass. I've done the very same with my eco-printed teeshirts.

[@nancywalter7555]

Wearing gloves when working with rust.... important. You don’t want to get tetanus

[@AannshaJones]

Good point.
