Here is a thought for preserving the liquid….pour into ice cube trays and freeze and pop out and thaw as needed…seems like it would work…

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great idea! I will try that! Austin,TX USA

[@TubeYouLena]

Good idea, especially for the solutions that turned out great.

[@readysetgo1996]

Beat juice

[@patgrant2651]

Belle idée, merci Patricia . France 😊

[@Lasuth82]

Love love love your ideas!

[@shiflett82]

Adding vinegar or baking soda will change the color of your dies depending on the PH. Your red cabbage will become pink if you add vinegar. (I think)! Love the ideas!

[@dianaclitheroe5037]

And if you add bicarb it turns a pastel green 💚

[@victoriabergesen6775]

This was so well-presented! I took screen shots of all your charts. Adding 1 tsp. table salt and 1 tsp. white vinegar per cup of ink will help preserve it and keep it from fading. The ink bottles and any projects should be kept out of sunlight. As one author puts it, natural inks are alive and they will change over time. We should embrace that change if we we want to use these on covers where they will inevitably fade.

[@ludouglas1]

Vinegar is a modifier and will change the colour.

[@MagentaHero]

Paprika for dye, brilliant! I never would have thought of it. That rusty orange is one of my favorite colors. Paired with the turmeric yellow, perfection! Your channel is such a creative joy. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@rgporter1957]

Wonderful ideas! And freezing the colors into ice cube is brilliant!

[@beckyb4074]

Wow Natasha, you never cease to amaze me with the ideas you have. And everything is for helping people find out what and how they can use materials and products they already have. Thank you for that. You're definitely a very inspiring young lady. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@margarettallett762]

Exactly!! ... from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

[@gracejohnson1926]

Yes!!!… amazing💖

[@gracejohnson1926]

WOW NATASA you are the most amazing crafter!!!💖

[@youcancreatetoo6058]

I've made hibiscus dyed paper. It turns out to be a beautiful purplish blue. I did the same as you, just wing it with the recipe. Approximately 3 tsp powdered hibiscus in a cup of boiling water.

[@visionsofheaven]

Ooh sounds pretty! I've used beet powder for a deep pink too :)

[@allisonjames2923]

Oo I never thought of using powdered hibiscus or beetroots. That’s a great idea

[@anniechapman3912]

OMGOSH!! This tutor is AWESOME!! I'm going to be in the kitchen playing with natural inks. It's truly inspiring, the way you show us how to do beautiful "work" for such a small investment of money and time! Bless you and thank you for all of the time you spend on these videos to teach us! You ROCK Natasa!! 😊

[@phylliswilliamstn]

Fun! Thank you for posting this! This has to be one of my favorite journaling videos ever.😊

[@jeanalam9279]

Great idea thinking about trying this

[@TreasureBooks]

Yay, thank you!

[@bbsclosetcreations]

Wow !! I appreciate you taking the time for having filmed the process of this Natasa . I know its alot of work to film and then edit . Truly turned out beautifully and love how gorgeous your results for these came out . Tfs ! Hugs and blessings 😘❤ have a great weekend!

[@TreasureBooks]

Aw Thank you so much 😊 It took ages and over 2 hours of footage to edit 🥴

[@bbsclosetcreations]

@@TreasureBooks I believe it !!! Wow !!! That Is alot 😓😖 goodness . We definitely are so very appreciative for you teaching us your wonderful process for making all of these cuties !!🙏🏽🥰

[@TubeYouLena]

I want a sequel! Being obsessed with organizers I’d love to see production of a journal (catalogue) or a decorated box for keeping these labeled swatches & solution recipes. And an organizer for freezer (with labeled ice cube trays perhaps). I loved it all. And the lace imprints, wow such a multitasking going on here. Straining through cheese cloth will produce a bonus coloured piece for projects as well. How cool!

[@luannfischer747]

And think if you used a piece for lace on top of the cheese cloth,,,, hmmmm

[@SybilEhningerHigh]

I second the organization tour and let’s craft some storage boxes for all these fabulous components. This channel is amazing ❤

[@dianaclitheroe5037]

Absolutely love the red Berry tea! I made some yesterday and used a soft large head art brush and achieved the most amazing patterns. You have to be quick applying it but if you do it slowly you get brilliant effects especially if you go back over it. I made a tartan type design and a swirl and they look brilliant!

[@Eartha58]

Your creativity and artistry are phenomenal. You motivate me and empower me to create my own work. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty with the world.

[@sandrareford2989]

I've clicked on "thumbs up" but I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up!!! Super inspirational. YES I will try this.

[@secondhandrose6214]

Your videos are chockful of creative ideas! Your generosity is overwhelming! Thank You so much! 🌺🏵💮🌸🍷

[@TreasureBooks]

Many many thanks!

[@B1rdLadee]

Wow! That red to blackish color shift is amazing! 😍❤️

[@mysticsuzie1341]

Yes let's not waste wine 🍷 Thank you for sharing, always a joy watching you. Bless

[@marusnak1113]

Your grouping would make a more than marvelous gift - really lovely. This was a superior video, very interesting and different. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@michaliaholliday9569]

LOVE this project! Thank you for sharing your process. Seeing the color changes with drying time and materials was fabulous. 💓

[@Kenna198]

I love love love the blue from the cabbage, it looks periwinkle blue, just beautiful

[@janieanderson3988]

I appreciate you writing your instructions for viewing. It helps with remember the process.

[@amv4000smom]

I love these easy ideas for making natural inks and dying different materials and papers. Thank you for sharing!

[@heathersullivan8494]

Wow!! So much fun! I love how you got such different results from the same colors just using different materials. Lovely ❤

[@janethartmannjones4781]

Love this, didn't watch because I assumed this was about making inks from purchased powders, natural dyeing is more accurate. My most successful dye was the pulp I had remaining after making grape juice. Layered papers with water and pulp and let them dry. The paper is crumpled and a glorious purple (red/black grapes) then I composted the pulp and made grape jelly with the juice. I have sprinkled turmeric on wet paper and used tea bags with turmeric too. Will have to try your other recipes.

[@kellyjean4981]

This is so fascinating! I love how they dry, they look completely different. Wow you have my brain working overtime with ideas. Thank you ❤

[@lisamr40]

I tried the onion skins, dandelion flowers and leaves, butterfly flowers, coffee, and an assortment of black and herbal teas. I love the way the onion skins come out. Since I don't have access to the multitude of onion skins I would need, I decided to try to mimic the colors with watercolor paints. It worked beautifully. Thanks for your great ideas.

[@Happysewist]

I get onion skins from the grocery store. Make friends with your local store’s produce person and they will let you gather the skins from the onion display! Also less than beautiful and older veggies like beets, red cabbage etc.

[@skyqueenstudios]

I love drinking turmeric and ginger tea. When I drink it I save the tea bags and use them in my art journal, or I sometimes make extra tea and use that to stain my papers - it looks really beautiful with coffee stains and I even use the Tim Holtz spray stains (my favourite is aged mahogany); it’s just so beautiful *chefs kiss*. I also really enjoy drinking rose hip and hibiscus tea. It’s a really pretty dark pink colour but when it dries, it becomes a really gorgeous pale violet colour. I’ve been thinking about trying berries, beets, spinach. Nicola Brown has a KZbin channel about eco dying worth checking into if that’s of interest to anyone.

[@juliekeil8791]

How fun, Natasa! Very creative and inspiring. Again. 😊 I especially love the embossed paper and lace. ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you!!!

[@tamsinboldick7035]

I love this. So much fun experimenting with natural & surprising colours. Lots of red/ purple fruits & vegetables will make a solution that will act like a universal indicator, and go either pinkish or bluish, depending on the acidic or alkaline qualities they're exposed to.

[@karinroloff4562]

Love the demonstration of different types of things you can use to stain, dye or ink with...😻

[@shaylanverploegen5328]

I’ve absolutely LOVED every video I’ve seen of yours so far. I’m am so inspired to start creating my own journals and such. THANK YOU!

[@HeartlanderArt]

This video made me smile so many times. I just love the way you show things. Makes me want to try it myself.

[@JanieAlcove9]

Love love love love love these inks and your little packets of goodies.

[@janislf7584]

Hi Natasa. The anthocyanins in the red cabbage and cranberries are what produces the bluish tones. When I ecoprint with cotinus and other reddish leaves, they will also print blue/purple. Science is amazing- even in art.

[@creativelindations]

Yellow is my favorite color. I'm so going to try the Turmeric, Coffee and Tea. The little swatch packets at the end are so cool. You could make these and include a recipe card with the dry ingredients, all but the red cabbage, of course. They would make a cute gift for your fellow paper crafting friends. Love your videos!

[@tinaobrien2412]

Totally beautiful, totally unique and different. Love the ideas and love the product results. Wonderful to watch it in time laps photography.

[@Happysewist]

I love how natural dye colors always look beautiful together! No matter what their colors

[@tracycrist]

i find you a joy to watch...and ive enjoyed all the projects you do and the things you teach.. im glad i ran across your channel

[@OldHag73]

I made this kind of stuff years ago after inspiration from wool dying videos. There are sooooo many fantastic things to use for dying and boiling helps with making the dye last longer and also more pigment coming out of the plants or what you use for the dye. And there are sooo much fun! Also, don't forget soot from campfires or if you have a fireplace. then you can use it like you can use things like eyeshadow and so on and put it on with a makeup sponge or something. So many fun things to use! :)

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

Thank you so much for teaching this to us - i cannot wait to try some of these - i really love the richness of the colors - thanks again xx

[@karinmonahan6596]

I always look forward to your videos. Love your ideas and natural creativity. You're amazing!

[@nancelarsen1437]

I really love the swatch idea with the different materials and the layered papers, what a great idea for a gift!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@sandyshaver8464]

This is so cool! Thank you. You always come up with fantastic ideas.

[@jodiecleman1344]

Loved the lace prints on the paper , and the way the all of the experiments turned out. I have used turmeric in eco dyeing and it turns out great.

[@monikadavis6390]

Love it! Such a great idea... inexpensive and non-toxic!!!! Love the colors!

[@KimVictoria-Artist]

Tip for preservation from the Old Masters of art - add 3 drops of lavender oil to the mixture. Lavender is a natural preservative. The Old Masters used a drop of lavender oil to help keep oil paints soft longer, and there is a specific purified oil called Oil of Spike Lavender for that purpose. I used regular lavender essential oil. The amount is so small that it doesn't affect the paper. I like the freezing idea as well.

[@carolvalenta]

Years ago I experimented with natural dyes on hand spun wool. There are so many things you can use. But using the spices is a brilliant idea, and so easy! Thank you for sharing. I love your creativity.

[@terichiarelli6210]

Oh I love all these and I have everything I need! Thanks Natasha this is fun!

[@rachelpeacock6674]

Brilliant! Love 💕 💕 💕 all those colors! Fantastic Natasha!

[@francesedwards4369]

Beautiful colors! Wow!

[@unicornladytech]

I love all the things you do with your crafting projects and have done some. I happened to have some purple cabbage juice in my freezer and will try this. Oh suggestion, maybe dye the string on the swatches too. Thank you so much for sharing 😘

[@robindonnelly]

Wow! This was super enjoyable to watch, Natasha. I love your kitchen witchery style going on here. I have to try this soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@vanessaboman8143]

Wow! This is exciting for sure!

[@B.journalcreations]

This is amazing, I made coffee dyed paper, but never thought of using other things. I love the colour that gives the cranberrie tea, the collage with the coffee circle is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Natasha you are so creative. Love how it looks.

[@annalba]

Amazing tutorial I love how the embossing paper turned out, I have some Turmeric tea I wonder that would give a different stain. must try. Love your sample charts it is good to have a book dedicated to these things after all you are an artist & artist keep swatches. Thank you Natasha for this amazing lesson. 💗❣

[@vanessasplace8690]

I'm new here and I absolutely love your channel. I've been perusing your tutorials for days. Today I want to do this, but first, I'll be at the farmer's market this morning and I know I want to get beets to try and we'll see what else! Thank you so much for your inspiration!

[@papeteriedechoix]

[@cindymitchell5114]

Thank you for inspiring me, I love the shades of blue! Who would have thought it came from red cabbage

[@saucysoul7865]

What great ideas as always. I've often wondered about dyeing paper with red cabbage, it's interesting that it comes out more blue than purple. I will definitely be using these colors. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

[@Carol-br3bd]

Wow..gorgeous colors...I've got to try this...thank you so much..

You are so creative and imaginative. Fantastic tutorial. Love the colours. You can get a beautiful baby yellow dye from dried daffodil heads made the same way as you would onion skins. My favourite dye colour is from the leaves of impatiens tinctoria , you get a beautiful bright orange. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@rachelpeacock6674]

I’m glad you tried these solutions, I have often thought of beets too, but never experimented. I love your ideas!

[@gitelplatvoet2808]

This is amazing. I really want to try how it comes out . Last year I made papers from your onion and avocado tutorial and couldn't stop, it was so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful tutorials. You're a real genius❤

[@Linda211]

Wow! 🥰 I love this video so much!♥What's so great about this is most of the items I have on hand and do not need to go out and purchase anything. I'm sure I have other things in my cupboard that would work nicely as a natural ink, too. Thank you, Natasa. You and your channel have blessed me tremendously! ♥

[@studiooftheheartbydonna3265]

I love this! I take the scraps from my journal adventures and make new paper from them, these dyes would work so well for my handmade recycled papers. These dyes will be fun to experiment with, and fit with the sustainable studio ideal that I follow.
