Soak fabric 2-8 hours or overnight then dry in the shade without rinse the fabric Different mordants that you use with fabric will make the color of leaves different. You can use mud, alum, copper sulfate, limewater, tamarind juice, ash water, or anything else. It depends on what kind of mordant each leaf needs and what color that mordant will give. We use mordant to change the properties of fabric to Alkaline before you placing the leaves on the fabric to make an Ecoprint. You should soak leaves in iron rust water to turn the properties of the leaves to acid for extract the color from the leaves. (Soak rusted items in water for 3 days or a month and then diluted with plain water. Soak leaves 30 minutes to 1 hours 0:01 Coralbush...leaves don't give much color. 0:18 Candle bush (Senna alata) gives yellow 0:22 harrisonia perforata gives pale green 0:28 Teak leaves and Teak flowers...leaves gives purple, red, pink, brown, yellow or orange The color depends on the species of the teak tree.

Thank you very much for the Mordant formula and techniques. I would like to share this formula with friends who are interested in ecoprint. my experience with ecoprint I mostly use cotton. Because it sticks the color from the leaves very well. Thailand There are many types of trees that can be selected for ecoprint every season. I'm glad to see you from My ecoprint channel.
