Plant Magic - Eco-Printing with Jennifer Johnson [Artist Portrait]

Jennifer Johnson of Plant Spirit Fibers uses seasonal plants growing on her homestead in Brookfield, Vermont to create these eco-printed silk scarves and other garments. She then dyes them with plant dyes harvested from her land. She and her husband grow their own indigo plants and create their own dye, unusual for her region.

Thank you so so much for not adding background music. It is such a joy to hear the sound of silence and to hear only the natural sounds of people moving around and the soft sounds of nature, the grasshopper, etc. Well done! Groet from Amsterdam

[@Candeekissez]

I'm sure you can. Have you ever pressed flowers? Look it up. The pressed flowers are pretty and some will leave an imprint on paper.

[@celebratingchaosbyvanitha3229]

Do you soak flowers in vinegar and rust before placing it this way?

[@celebratingchaosbyvanitha3229]

What flowers and leaves work best?

[@WTF.]

Wow, qué buena edición, hermosa estética. De la práctica que ella hace, me quedo con la gran duda de que si lo que usó por sobre las flores es papel. Luce como papel, tal vez sea un plástico.

[@landfoodcraft]

¡Gracias por ver! Creo que era un papel encerado, como papel de pergamino / papel para hornear, no estoy seguro de cómo se llama en español.

Is that cotton you are using ti roll the plants?

[@instant_mint]

Very beautiful! I was intrigued by the lighter prints on darker background, like how is that possible?

[@landfoodcraft]

I don’t know but you are right that is part of why it was so breathtaking when she revealed the results! I wonder if it is because the pigment in the flowers is so powerful.

Which paper is used for covering flowers

[@jennycoleman3453]

beautiful result but didn't really learn from it, a little explanation on the process would be helpful.

[@landfoodcraft]

Hi Jenny, I definitely hear you, lol. The funny thing is that I made this only to be a preview of my documentary about this person and her lifestyle, not as a tutorial. It’s wonderful that so many people who are interested in learning this craft have found this video, and I regret that I cannot help in the how-to department. Luckily I think there are many other great tutorials on KZbin. If you find an excellent one that answers the questions left from this one, will you post it? That will help redirect people who are looking to learn the techniques and I might even put it in the description. Thank you very much for watching!

[@k.g.77715]

Lovely 😍! Did you put the roll into a furnace? Did you use chemicals?

[@landfoodcraft]

I believe it was a steamer she put it in and she does not use any chemicals. You can visit her website in the description for more information. Thank you for watching!

Hi, i want to ask you.. how do you mordant the fabric to ecoprint? thank you

[@jenniferjohnson2828]

Alum and iron mordant

[@fannylee3378]

before you put the flower, did you just wet the fabric using water?

I am just the filmmaker, but I am pretty sure it was just water.

Yes though the fabric was mordanted in alum and iron

@@landfoodcraft it’s cool. I tried on linen it kinda worked but our humidity in my country the insects would try to live on the stain I think it’s it pigments. Planning to add vinegar so the color will be vibrant and hope stick permanently on the fabric.

No. You have to add mordant( before) and fixing (after)… otherwise it will disappear/evanescence…
