Thanks for the tip. Regular vinegar seemed to work just fine and is probably the cheapest option! Have you tried this method before?

The trouble with kaldi is I would fill my basket with yummy things and forget the vinegar!

I was initially inspired by her technique as it really fits in with my experiments with iron (thanks for the reminder...I added an acknowledgement in my description). I'm looking forward to doing more printing on kimono silk with flowers in particular coming up. Very exciting! Are you a dyer also?

Thanks so much. Have you tried rust painting before?

​@@studio_biku i have also dealt with onion skin dying ,i have gotten good colours, but the colour fades after few washes.how do i fix the colour? Even without washing or presence of Sun light ,the colour tones down a lot.

@@inba7809 did you scour your fabric first and then add a mordant? I usually use alum.

@@studio_biku I wash the cloth with soap nuts and use alum as well, then dye it. What is the ratio of dye water to the cloth used? Is it always the same or does it differ depending on the dye? Do we just add alum with feel or do we have certain ratios ( cloth : alum )

@@inba7809 a few questions… how long did you mordant your fabric? I soak over night (after an hour on the heat). Which fibers are you using? Protein (animal) or cellulose (plant)? Cotton is notoriously difficult to dye so it could be that?

@@inba7809 also, I scour (detergent and soda ash) for at least an hour on the heat to remove dirt, waxes and other materials from the production process. New fabric, in my experience, needs more work than fabric that has been washed lots.

Hello 😊

There are lots of old trees in Tokyo. People often build around them sometimes. Thanks for watching!

Let me know how the black bean water goes on eggs. I’m sure it will work?!

I’m learning as I go and love to celebrate the surprises. That’s the wonder of natural dyeing isn’t it?! Are you a dyer too?

Happy to have your beautiful items in store.

Thanks for watching. You can use dry or fresh leaves. Mine were partly dried. It's fun to experiment with the same materials, some dry and some fresh and see if you get the same results. Let me know how youe get on...

@@janinewarren7045 natural dyes are colour fast to a degree if you scour and mordant correctly before dyeing. However, there will be some fading after washing lots and exposing to the sun. I can just dye again if the colour fades. Have you tried natural dyeing?

Do you mean dyeing with onions on top of another colour? You can keep dyeing until you get to a colour you love. No need to re-mordant. In this video I used iron for colour-shifting but it can also be used as a mordant.

Hi! So in this video I think you said you didn’t mordant the fabric ahead of time, you did it with a soy milk for the cool pomegranate changeling effect. My question is have you tried dying the same piece of fabric again with a colour (say so the background would be yellow)in which case, is it true you would have to mordant the piece of fabric second time around?

@@thespiritualwarriorofoz366 I haven't tried over-dyeing afterwards using this technique. As it was put in an iron bath, the iron would act as a mordant for any new colours you add. No need to re-mordant as it's already been done during the iron bath process. Hope that helps?!

That's fascinating chemistry. I'm currently looking into pigments also.

Ha ha ha ha. So funny!

@@inba7809 very welcome. Are you into natural dyeing?

@@studio_biku yes l love natural colours

That's a fab tip. Thanks so much.

I have considered it but to be honest, my income is based on my jewellery products and it has taken me years to work out designs. UA-cam is just a hobby at this point. Let me think if I could teach some other things involving Japanese textiles. Thanks so much for watching.

Oh yes...it was such a hot day that the fan offered him a moment of cool! It worked like a charm. I will say that low-balling too much can make some vendors upset so really testing the water and being super polite, respectful and friendly is the best way to get fair deals for both you and the vendor. Thanks so much for watching.

@@WedgyBlue thanks so much!

@@JustShepCreator thanks for the encouragement. Tell me more about templates!

@@studio_biku So when editing I tend to create a folder for all of my assets so intro, outro, used music, sub/social animations and B-Roll if I have it. I use Adobe Premier Pro so I can set out a project which already has all of these items laid out apart from the content video which means I just lay this in when I get it. I guess I should setup a video at some point to go with this. :)

@@JustShepCreator thanks. I don’t do much face to camera work, which is much easier/quicker for editing. This video was only an hour or so. Craft tutorial videos are on another level of shooting and editing for me. I’m sure it will get better with time. Keep going too!

Thanks so much.

I wish there were more opportunities like there are in the US or Europe. Thanks for watching my content. ❤️

I just added some more pages this morning. Maybe I’ll do a flip through video soon.

Thank you. I’ve been in Japan for half my life, so I guess the ease comes with time.

It's so hard to leave them behind! That's why I do kimono shopping tours so I can get my shopping fix through other people!

Thanks for the tip and for watching to the end.

@@mljezierski yes, I think the mordant would’ve had a huge effect on the colour you got. Iron mordant gives a more grey colour. I used alum in this video. I have a video coming up showing the colour shift after an iron bath and it’s a stunning difference. Thanks for watching.

@@ginninadances thanks for the tip (and for watching). I thought you could mordant a stack ahead of time and keep it for a couple of weeks?…need more experimentation! Are you into dyeing too?

@@sarahfuruya464 thanks!

@@MichelleCorbinDesign it looks really different to this now! And more changes to come soon!

@@maryb6559 depending on the dye used, these often wash out even with gentle handwashing. With those delicate materials, I do sun / air cleaning with occasional steam to iron out creases in delicate materials.

@studio_biku that's what I was afraid of, thanks for responding

I haven’t tried them. Do they work well? I don’t think I’ll be dyeing with edible materials as I’m interested in using things that would end up in the rubbish.

I currently sell scrap bags for small projects in my online shop. Currently thinking about the possibility of selling larger pieces. I usually let mailing list subscribers hear first about new releases.

@@janetjohnson8931 so true! It’s so tough to let them go!

Phew! This one was a long time coming!

@@studio_biku do you do your own edits?

@@sarahfuruya464 yep. Still learning! Good for the ole brain cells.

Thanks so much. Happy to have your work in. my shop!
