Part 1 - The Easiest Eco Printing Technique Ever - Sizzix Hack

[@lindamaclaren1866]

Can't help myself: This artist is amazing! She takes a single process, does it every way imaginable right there on camera, gets beautiful results while also showing us her "less-than-optimum". Daring, confident, and oh-so-talented!

[@DRC4547]

Amazing & she leaves no stone unturned trying to get optimum results, I love ❤ watching the process.

[@angeladingwall5680]

I’ve been doing this for years I love the different shapes you get pansies are beautiful x

[@SteffiCullen]

I only can agree 😉😁🧡

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@PerfectlyImperfectJunkJournals]

I 100% agree! I am sharing this s channel with lots of friends!

[@carolbarnes7520]

You are not the only one to be amazed by these results. Now I know what to use my Sizzix for. Thank you so much. I did do full blown ecoprinting - boiling leaf and watercolour paper sandwiches with alum as a mordant. I loved the results but it was very longwinded and a bit steamy and smelly in my kitchen. I am so grateful to you. Carol B UK.

[@Saacibo]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching ❤️😊

[@annelisjournaling]

Wonderful! Try putting the leaf in the rustwater, let them soak a few minutes, and then press them. You then get the black print, and the paper still more white.👍🏻😄 I do that when i make my ”fake prints”.😉

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting Annelis! ❤️ I tried that towards the end of the video and it worked beautifully, although I didn't soak the leaves, I just applied rust with the brush and then pressed them. Loved the results😊

[@annelisjournaling]

Yes, i soak them two hours, dry them of and then print. That way i don’t get any moist leaking beside the leaf. You gave me more options, i also need to try. Thank you!!😄🙏🏻📘👍🏻

[@Ruby233]

Scusa, cosa intendi per stampe false? Grazie

[@krys494]

You’re so creative and so kind to try out lot of différents ways and techniques to let everyone achieve a result. Thank you !

[@brandasuther1156]

What a wonderful and informative video! I saw in the FB group where someone posted recently that they did this with their granddaughter (minus the rust). So I had to come and see what all the fuss was about. I love how you explain each and every detail and show us when things don't work. Thank you! 🤩

[@Saacibo]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@rachellee.9389]

I am only 30 seconds into the video and already I am amazed! I'm so happy that you have come up with a much simpler way to do eco-printing. I've only ever seen crafters do it with a dedicated huge pot, rusty tools, packets of foliage that need to be tied together, gallons of boiling water, etc. So I've never attempted it because it took too much time and energy (not only body energy but electrical energy to boil the water). TFS, dear little one!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. I'm also thrilled that this worked so well, at least for eco printing on paper. Cooking method just takes so much time and dedication, and I'm not a fan of boiling papers, they tend to become fragile afterwards. I wish this would work on fabric, too. I will definitely try 😊❤️

[@josecarlosbatista5442]

Seu processo criativo com impressão botânica é bem simplificado!

[@Imma_rose2]

Dragana, you’ve earn another title, scientist! Thank you for sharing your findings-they turn out so nice!

[@Saacibo]

😆I love my new title! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@donnacarraway9182]

What timing! Just yesterday I went for a walk and collected leaves because I noticed a few leaves already turning color. Last winter I desperately wanted some leaves and fortunately I had some that I had dried with some glycerin and they were great! I used them on my Gelli plate and I also painted some with metallic paint and flattened them for cards etc. Thank you Dragana for your inspiration and creativity! You are like me, in that you like to try different things! Great work!!💕

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much Donna! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️😊

[@Stephh2425]

Your rust experiment is amazing! TFS

[@Saacibo]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️

[@jogriffiths4797]

WOW! Just WOW! When the 'rust' was applied, my jaw literally dropped!

[@Saacibo]

I'm really glad you enjoyed that! I've been doing this for a few weeks now and I know what's going to happen when I apply rust and yet I gasp every time 😊❤️

[@Lady_Jay42]

My jaw literally dropped when you added the rust water to the paper! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I wish there was a way to have some of them stay white instead of turning brown, but I guess I will just have to experiment!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! There's a way to have the leaf turn black and background to stay white. I show this in Part 3 of this video. You need a tub with 2 cups of water and a tablespoon of rust ( iron mordant) You place the paper inside for a few seconds and as soon as the leaf is dark you take it out and rinse with clean water 😊

[@loribecker4403]

So cool!!!! The "rusty" ones are especially beautiful!!! Great discovery! Thank you for sharing.

[@Saacibo]

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@jussaramaluful]

Olá sou Brasileira e gostaria de saber como se faz essa solução de ferragem?

[@inipin510]

Wow, this is science and art in one. Stunning! Love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Saacibo]

Thanks so much 😊❤️

[@gaynorberry5759]

Wow!!! The rust is like magic!! 😊❤

[@Saacibo]

Glad you think so 😊❤️

[@barbarawafer94]

What a great way to get eco print leaves! A much simpler and less messy process. Thank you for experimenting on camera and letting us see what works and what doesn’t! Awesome. 💜

[@Saacibo]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed that. Thank you for watching and for your nice comments 😊❤️

[@el8edgirl]

I've never gasped as many times while watching a video as I did with this. Wow! 😊

[@Saacibo]

Oh, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@bixnash1]

I've been eco,printing for some time now and yes this dramatic reaction is soo exciting. Leaves with high tannin content will go darker like walnut, grape, fruit and nut leave's essentially. Now try with copper water and things like turmeric and bicarb. Playing is discovery. A pasta machine is an alternative press. Bx

[@Saacibo]

Thank you for that useful info. I’ve tried with copper but I haven’t tried turmeric. Great idea using pasta machine as an alternative press 😊❤️

[@Schatzie301]

This is all wonderful but that effect with the rust water is just magic. You must have been so elated to discover this. Thanks so much for sharing these amazing techniques.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! Oh, the rust effect is so mesmerizing, I love doing it just for the effect. I had to stop myself from turning all prints to black and orange 🤣

[@letslistentobooks894]

I eco dye and this tutorial video is just brilliant! You are so creatively Inspiring ❤ ... The rust water is reacting with the amount of tannin in the leaves ... I love this so much!!!! Bravo!🎉

[@Saacibo]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️😊

[@Miastrong930]

Everything in the video is wonderful. The rust is an amazing transformation. Thank you for sharing these techniques.

[@Saacibo]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@krismills4393]

You are so gifted! Watching this is like watching a magic show. I have never done eco dying. Would love to try this!!

[@Saacibo]

I hope you do! It’s a lot of fun and very addictive. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@kathyarbour]

These turned out great, I have been doing this for years and have many other things with different paper and sprays added. keep experimenting and you will be amazed. Thanks for sharing.

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the prints. Thank you so much for watching. ❤️😊

[@lozbailey9322]

Thank you for sharing this. It was very enlightening. I saw another video similar to yours, but instead of using rust water, the demonstrator used tea water that she lightly spritzed onto the photocopy paper and pressed the leaves with a rolling pin and the result showed no blackening of the page. Your idea of using the big shot was ingenious and teaches me to look outside the box. Great idea.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed the video ❤️😊

[@lynnbeard2450]

WOW!! So happy that you stuck with it! Now we all know how to get a wonderful result. Thank you for sharing! Hugs from Texas.

[@Saacibo]

My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching 🤗❤️

[@RoseWildsmith]

The black ones look like etchings! Beautiful ❤

[@Saacibo]

You're right! They do! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@shawnas464]

So the “rust” is rust mordant? 1/2 water 1/2 vinegar over rusty metal until brown liquid emerges? Then this is brushed over the leaf prints? Soooooooo cool!

[@Saacibo]

Yes, so easy and accessible to most people and gives great results 😊❤️

[@cindyluck6479]

Thank you. Found you by accident- happy accident!

[@sarahyates6055]

These look amazing it’s wonderful seeing the different shades of green and intensity that different leaves gives. Having done pressed flowers years ago in my youth! I suggest if you have particular leaves that are difficult to remove it’s because of the moisture content still there. You can do one or two things. Either open the page and if you have a heat tool with a low setting just give a couple of seconds blow from a distance just to dry it out that little bit or try a hairdryer but be careful you don’t just blow it away! Of you could just leave it open to dry out in a warm place maybe on top of a radiator but not too long. You just want to dry out that excess moisture. You could try an iron on its lowest setting and no steam, obviously you would this time leave the paper closed and I’d put a couple of layers of kitchen paper over it just in case any colour bleeds out….you don’t want a green iron plate!! Also it can depend when you pick your leaves, preferably a dry day early in the day but after the morning dew has dried up or just pat them dry before pressing. Hope this helps

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for your great advice. I will keep it in mind next time I encounter a stubborn leaf 😊❤️

[@moirathurgood9206]

Excellent video. So interesting. How wonderful of you to discover this technique. I can;t wait to “Have a Go. ‘ Thank you for showing us and being generous enough to share your experiments.

[@Saacibo]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment ❤️😊

[@sallyclaire7643]

No you are not the only one who thinks that is amazing! That is amazing!!

[@Saacibo]

I’m so glad you think so! Thank you very much ❤️😊

[@bethjeans3780]

Oh, exquisite and magic! Thank you - I’m so glad I accidentally found you! They would be perfect to make cards I’d send or a set of notecards as a little gift.

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it. Oh, I think they would make awesome and very unique cards. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@karinjensen4591]

I am so amazed at this technique!!! You are an incredible artist ❤️. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work!!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@XenobiaF]

Wow! I’ll definitely try this. I was looking at my jar of rusty water just this morning thinking that I wanted to use it for something. Now I know what to try first!

[@Saacibo]

Great! I'm glad you like the idea! Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️

[@cindycreateforlife]

I guessed what you used to press the leaves but, the rust water is pure magic! Very interesting and inspiring video, so glad you experimented. It has to be oxidation that makes the colour change but I never would have thought of this!🇨🇦

[@Saacibo]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching😊❤️

[@sandranykerk2280]

It is the tannin in the leaves reacting with the iron in the rust water. After the paper is dry, I would rinse in cool water to remove any excess rust to help to keep the paper from deteriorating over time.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for that useful information! I appreciate it. I suspected it was tannin but I wasn't sure, I don't know the science behind it. Most of my discoveries are kind of intuitive and results of experiments 😊❤️

[@bettysmith5553]

All I can say is wow, I watched this video, and just had to try this. I've done some up and put them under some books and waiting to see how they've turned out. Just finished doing one, didn't put it under some books and decided to look at it right away and the out come was, wow. Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! I'm really glad you tried and liked the outcome. I'm amazed that this was so easy, after spending so much time trying to achieve this by cooking and baking plants and papers, and with mediocre results. 😊❤️

[@MsShanarun]

Absolutely amazing!! Love seeing the reveal, and the change to black!!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much 😊❤️

[@victoriabergesen6775]

A great addition to my eco-dying techniques! Also something I can demonstrate easily. Thanks for your experimenting.

[@bobbinsew]

No! You are not the only one who is amazed by this! How absolutely fascinating, and what a fabulous result! I wonder if this will work with fabric??

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the video. I can tell you that it works on fabric, too. I've been experimenting and I absolutely love the results. I plan to share my findings in another video very soon 😊❤️

[@DianesDesigns1660]

The best discoveries are very often accidents!!!! can't wait to try this technique so much better than boiling, etc TY TY

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Glad you like the idea. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️

[@gemmabianchi9209]

Dragana, what a delight to watch. My thoughts went to a “pasta machine” as a press. I shall try it out. Watching the rust treatment transformation is quite magical! Love your curiosity and your sharing, thank you. Cheers

[@Saacibo]

My pleasure! Oh, the pasta machine is a brilliant idea! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@simonettagenova]

I've watched the series of three AND a lot of videos by those who you call scientists (respect). My conclusion is: YOU ARE PHENOMENAL🎉

You’re very kind! Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@msmicaelkemp]

Genius! What a brilliant experiment and amazing results. So creative!!!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you very much!😊❤️

[@CatherineSummerfield]

If you cut the fresh leaf into a shape before you squish or press it then you would have a cool design !! You have me inspired.

[@Saacibo]

I’m so glad you got inspired! Have fun creating 😊❤️

Absolutely beautiful and yes amazing to watch the magic appear!

[@Saacibo]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@weefirebelle]

I have been doing this for a while now, pressing both leaves and flowers which turn out very pretty too, sometimes they are particularly extra juicy going through my die cutting machines (I have tried this with both my Cuttlebug and my BigShot). Weeds from my garden have a use now. Red and pink flowers like my fuchsia flowers often turn out more purple when they are pressed and are very juicy. They make very pretty and colourful background for cards etc. I was frightened the juices may "glue the papers together" so I didn't let it dry before removing the leaves or flowers. The rust water technique is amazing, like magic changing faded leaf prints to well defined leaves and this is new to me though so thanks. I will give this a go. 😁

[@Saacibo]

Oh, I am glad someone else has tried this! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I would love to try with flowers, but I don't have any fresh ones. I was thinking of using some dried rose petals and spraying them with some tea or coffee before pressing. It amazes me how the rust changes the look of these prints so I've been experimenting with other mordants too. I'm going to share this in another video 😊❤️

[@AmeliasMiMi]

You are simply brilliant!

[@Saacibo]

Wow, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Great idea using laminator! I didn't think of it but now that you mentioned it I might try, too. Curious to see if it works. Thank you 😊❤️

[@zeenatbaer138]

That is a really remarkable effect, exquisite prints 💚

[@Saacibo]

You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️

[@lindamaclaren1866]

Okay, it's already autumn here in Northeastern Nevada, USA, but I just had to try this technique. My maple tree was already brilliant red, but I picked some leaves and gave them a try...the result was astoundingly beautiful! My Russian Sage (looks a bit like lavender) also worked very well, as did my indoor Norfolk Island Pine. I'm so exhausted from picking and printing that I just had to take a short break to tell you how beautiful these results can be. If I can do it, anyone can...I'm a crafting klutz....

[@Saacibo]

Oh, wow! I'm so happy that you tried and loved the results. I can relate to being exhausted with this, I'm the same 🤣. I just can't seem to stop until I try all the plants. Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment. 😊❤️

[@FluffyJvideo]

Fascinating! Definitely something to experiment with using my Sizzix! Thank you! 👍 Awesome video!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it 😊❤️

[@JANeway1723]

i did this some years ago with herbs in my Sizzix...it worked great but a caveat: the paper needs to be dried properly otherwise it can create mildewed paper...Great tip with the rust water. Must try it. thanks for sharing!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. I've learned that it's better not to use leaves that are too juicy or just after rain. 😊

[@juliebooton1360]

Very interesting video and techniques. Thank you.

[@Saacibo]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@soniataitt636]

I have never had any luck with eco dying. I will definately try this.

[@Saacibo]

I'm really glad! 😊❤️

[@MrsBednar]

If you gather leaves that are really ready to give their color and image they will turn out even better. Look for leaves on the ground and a little brown (aged). Starting to age - not too old though. Yours look pretty green on the back.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll keep it mind next time I go leaf picking ❤️😊

[@shondra6]

This video popped into my suggestions. I so enjoyed this , that will I will be a new sub 💜🙏

[@Saacibo]

Awesome! Thank you so much! ❤️😊

[@MissGroves]

I did some intaglio printing with my grand calibur a while back. All they really are is glorified rollers that apply pressure. Nice to see other people trying things

[@Saacibo]

I'm glad you liked the video. I wish I had some big rollers to do larger eco prints. A5 is rather small but it works ok. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️

[@sherrydennis2419]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing!

[@Saacibo]

You're very welcome! ❤️😊

[@ediecatto585]

This is a fabulous idea! Thank you for sharing your creative/chemical genius with us. I know that a weak solution of iodine will react with chlorophyll (the substance that makes leaves green) and suspect that some of the leaves that did not react as well with the rust will react with a weak iodine solution. Have so many ideas and can’t wait to play! Thank you again

[@Saacibo]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for the iodine tip, I think I have some and I want to test on the leaves that didn't want to "work" with other mordants 😊❤️

[@greetjenijdam]

Wow. Beautiful making.

[@RachelRamey]

Beautiful! If you want them to emboss, I wonder if using an embossing mat underneath would give that result.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you for the suggestion! I managed to find a way to emboss them and I plan to share this in a video very soon 😊❤️

[@anonbutanon]

Maybe you heard my gasp when you applied the rust water to that first leaf? So cool!!

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much! Love your comment! 😊❤️
