Dear Lord! I need to stop watching these videos! I just found another hobby out of the very very many I already have!!! I am using this technique on fabrics!!! Thanks so very much. Your work is gorgeous! I need to live at least a 1000 years to use all my material!!!! God Bless!!
Hahahah. You should see my craft room. I have paints stacked in one corner, sewing machine on another table. Bins with paper crafts, bins full of yarn. Baskets full of driftwood and on and on. I hear ya. But I love it all!
Excellent tutorial. Clear instructions with text on the bottom. Patti, you have a fantastic sense of design. Last night I did some successful flower pounding with red maple leaves. Will gather more and use your ecoprinting on paper method. Glad I finally found you. So much info in this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And metric measurements 💚! So much easier, and every country except one uses metric.
Beautiful outcomes and clear tutorial! Thank you. One thing I learned when botanically printing in a "dirty pot" with alum and iron in the water, is that the steaming should not be done inside a building since breathing the steam with those metals in it is not good for you. It seems like that might be relevant here too.
I was looking for something else and this popped into my feed. Never heard about eco printing before but this looks like somethig that I would try. Your instructions are simple and to the point. You just got a new subscriber!
At around 16:20 - 16:26, as you're showing the third sample, I saw an image of a monkey head on the first side and a fox head on the reverse when you flipped it over. After watching your video and another about botanical printing, I experimented with a handful of different papers and discovered that in many of them I saw images created organically from the process. So cool!
These are really pretty just the way they are with the natural organic shapes. As an artist I would be tempted to watercolor in some indistinct flowers using brighter pastels. Then slightly outline the flowers. Thank you for showing this technique. I love your results.
I published a more recent video on steaming the papers instead of boiling and I was very pleased with the results. Here’s the video if you want to take a look. ua-cam.com/video/UQqhB7zTKZo/v-deo.htmlsi=gMcks-owrI_3orzr
Very clear instructions. I wanted to try some natural material for prints, this will be perfect. Instead of water pot I guess I could use a couple of bricks covered with a heavy duty aluminum foil. If I did that and the brick leaked some, would, and how it affects the prints. Have to try. Thanks for the clear and concise instructions.
Nature and science is so cool and you just never know what you will get for your results. Because there is lime and iron oxide in bricks it could create different results. Another science experiment in the making!
I've never seen anybody place their plants strategically for eco-dying. They came out fantastic and makes it more likely that you will have a pleasing composition. Ones that don't turn out as beautiful focal points can still be used as backgrounds or pages for journaling. Great ideas! I'm certainly going to save this video.
I have to agree this contains the very best step by step instructions...I roll my paper though and tie it with cheese cloth, ...it comes out well and I get really pretty cheese cloth too! But, I don't mind the accidental nature of my prints. Tying works if you aren't concerned about arrangement. Very nice video! I'll be watching this over and over!
Hola Patti, los resultados que obtienes con tu técnica para imprimir son asombrosos. Muchas gracias por tu generosa explicación para mostrarnos todo el proceso repleto de sabios consejos. Definitivamente, te quiero en mi vida.
Translation: Hi Patti, the results you get with your printing technique are amazing. Thank you very much for your generous explanation to show us the whole process full of wise advice. I definitely want you in my life. Encantada de que hayas disfrutado el video (feminine) Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you so much for the directions on how to achieve great prints. Just took mine out of the pan earlier this morning and they are very vibrant and beautiful! This definitely will be my go to video!!! Thanks again:)
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I actually did another batch last night:) They are so pretty! I keep looking at them and touching them because they feel so neat plus I’ve taken ooodles of pictures and videos. Let’s just say I’m obsessed! 🤩 Lol!!! 😂
Simply breathtaking I’m so in love with this I jumping around like a jackrabbit Thank you for sharing this with me Be safe as you go and God bless you and yours
Gorgeous prints, Patti!! Thank you for sharing the process and your is the best! I've seen a few others and was discouraged. I will actually try this now. Thank you.
Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for this video. Question though. Do I have to put anything on the paper to keep it from getting gross from the plant matter over time?
I really liked your video and the way you presented it. I am a papercrafter and love all things plant and flower related. I’m a gardener as well and have many varieties of ferns and flowers. Guess what I’ll be doing in the next few days? For sure I’m going to utilize my ginkgo tree. Thanks very much!
Thanks so much Anna. Ooh. Lucky you to have lots of ferns and flowers right in your yard. I have heard that grape leaves and peony flowers make excellent prints as well. Enjoy experimenting with all your plants!
Thank you so much for sharing how you eco print. I've been doing it the hard way. If you have access to grape vines, try them. They print awesome. And peony leaves too.
Thanks Darlene. I’m looking forward to doing eco printing again when there are more flowers in bloom. I will definitely try and get a hold of some grape leaves and I actually planted peony’s in my garden this year. Yeah!
They are beautiful...wish we could have seen what each sheet came out to look like since we saw you place the flowers & leaves on each page. Did you notice what leaves or flowers didn't have a big showing?
It would have been a long video and a lot of work to film each flower sheet and show each result. But yes, that would have been good for the viewer. I felt that the mums didn’t show as much color as I would have liked. I have heard that peonies work well and grape leaves. I was happy with the fern imprints as well. Any waxy leaves didn’t work as well.
I really love the way you present your method. Your voice is very soothing and you take time which makes it easier to remember what to do. Thank you very much for sharing with us!

Great video, I am inspired to try this and am about to go outside and forage some leaves, although I don't have any alum, but am going to try some baking powder.

I love this so much.... what a great tutorial ... I've seen videos how to print on fabric but this is wonderful on paper! Thanks for sharing your how to's.
The alum helps the dyes and pigments penetrate into the fibres of the paper. The vinegar helps to set the colour. The rust is used to achieve darker images. I found that some of my prints were a bit too dark so I would use less rust or no rust at all maybe next time. It really is a bit of a science experiment as there are so many elements that can change things. If your pan is steel or aluminum, the types of plants you use. So use the alum for sure and you can experiment with not using vinegar and rust.
loved the video . .. love the way you totally enjoy the process, thank you !!! Am I correct in the following conclusions? 1. Adding vinegar at the end gives better color . 2. Weighing it down with a pot of water means...no real risk of the paper ever burning. I tried it, and got a couple of good ones !!!
Would love to hear your comparison of the watercolor and print paper. I would think Printmaking paper would be designed for the ink to sit on the surface. Did one take up the color differently? Is one clearer than the other?
Both types of paper worked equally well. I had mostly printmaking paper and the water colour paper on the outsides so it was not a true test for comparison but I would use the print making paper again because of the cost comparison.
I wish I could give you multiple thumbs up for this video. Do you know if similar results are possible using muslin fabric instead of water color paper?
Ahhh thanks! I appreciate the thumbs up! Yes, you can definitely use muslin or cotton. Prewash your fabric so it removes any sizing. Instead of the layered paper method, I would roll the material into a tight roll and then tie with string around the roll to secure it and then boil them in the pot.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thank you for the additional information. I have always been a fiber and textile enthusiast. So, I just HAVE to give this a try!
The rust is supposed to assist with darkening the lines of the prints but too much rust can also make your prints turn out too dark. So all you can do is experiment and try adding the rust water. This is like doing a science experiment. And every time it may turn out differently.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thk u once again for your promptness！This afternoon ..my maiden attempt at this wonderful craft...am.allowing it to steep overnight after adding the vinegar.Fingers xxd！wish me luck dear Patti....else ill go.batty！hope it works！
These prints were made about 2 1/2 months ago and still look the same so have not faded at all. Sometimes I spray them with the krylon gloss to protect them
They both worked well as far as absorbing pigments from the plants but the print making paper is a lot cheaper so far that reason I would vote for the print making paper.
Yes, I would say so. I left mine overnight before I opened them all up. Also it makes a real difference on the type of flowers and leaves that you use as some have more tannins than others and will create brighter and more colorful prints. One of my viewers suggested grape leaves and peony flowers for great prints.
Your prints are great. Any idea why there's so much yellow when very few of the flowers you used were that color? Something to do with the alum? I want more blues and pinks, any thoughts?
The rust will bring out more yellow and darker colours. I tried using a variety of flowers and colours to see what I would get. I was hoping for more pinks as well. The moms I used probably didn’t have a lot of pigment in them. Just try what you can find that is in season. . Like petunias in summer for pink colours and wild berries or blueberries will give you lots of blue. Japanese maple leaves work well and grape leaves too. Find vivid coloured flowers for more pigment.
Hallo Crafzy Patti, kannst Du mir auf deutsch sagen, welche Mittel Du fuer die Pflanzen nimmst ?🙏🙏🙏 leider kann ich kein englisch 😩 wie heiss ist das Wasser und wie lange bleibt das Paket in der Flüssigkeit ? schoene Ergebnisse 👍🌻
Translation: Hello Crafzy Patti, can you tell me in German what means you take for the plants? Unfortunately I can not speak English 😩 how hot is the water and how long does the package stay in dero You can use any botanicals that you can find. Grape leaves and peony’s work really well. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour. Turn off heat and let sit over night. Sie können alle Pflanzen verwenden, die Sie finden können. Weinblätter und Pfingstrosen arbeiten sehr gut. Zum Kochen bringen und dann 1 Stunde köcheln lassen. Schalten Sie die Heizung aus und lassen Sie sie über Nacht sitzen.

And metric measurements 💚! So much easier, and every country except one uses metric.
Beautiful outcomes and clear tutorial! Thank you. One thing I learned when botanically printing in a "dirty pot" with alum and iron in the water, is that the steaming should not be done inside a building since breathing the steam with those metals in it is not good for you. It seems like that might be relevant here too.

Yes. That is very true. Well ventilated room or use a face mask for sure.

That’s great Camille. Glad my video came into your feed. It’s a fun process. Thanks for subbing!
At around 16:20 - 16:26, as you're showing the third sample, I saw an image of a monkey head on the first side and a fox head on the reverse when you flipped it over. After watching your video and another about botanical printing, I experimented with a handful of different papers and discovered that in many of them I saw images created organically from the process.

Oh yes! You can accent your final pieces in so many ways. I’m sure you will make them even more beautiful!
Thanks for the easy explanations. I will be trying this soon. Most likely use the finished product in junk journals/treasure books. Thanks again.
I published a more recent video on steaming the papers instead of boiling and I was very pleased with the results. Here’s the video if you want to take a look.

thankyou for sharing Patti. Great explanation's too Aluminium sulphate can be bough very cheap in pool cleaning shops, its used to flocculate dirt.
Thanks for sharing your tip on the aluminum sulphate!

Ones that don't turn out as beautiful focal points can still be used as backgrounds or pages for journaling. Great ideas! I'm certainly going to save this video.
It made so much more sense to me to place the foliage and flowers in a pleasing manner. Glad you thought so too!

Quick question: do you always have to boil the solution or can you just soak it for a period of time?
I think so too!
The boiling really aids in helping the natural dies disburse and soak into the papers.
They are beautiful...wish we could have seen what each sheet came out to look like since we saw you place the flowers & leaves on each page. Did you notice what leaves or flowers didn't have a big showing?

Your very welcome. It’s a fun process.
Thank you so much. What an amazing result you had. Do you have to add all three (alum, vinegar, rust) in order to ‘fix’ the dye?
The alum helps the dyes and pigments penetrate into the fibres of the paper. The vinegar helps to set the colour. The rust is used to achieve darker images. I found that some of my prints were a bit too dark so I would use less rust or no rust at all maybe next time.

The rust is supposed to assist with darkening the lines of the prints but too much rust can also make your prints turn out too dark. So all you can do is experiment and try adding the rust water. This is like doing a science experiment. And every time it may turn out differently.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thk u once again for your promptness！This afternoon ..my maiden attempt at this wonderful craft...am.allowing it to steep overnight after adding the vinegar.Fingers xxd！wish me luck dear Patti....else ill go.batty！hope it works！
great results - can't wait to set up after I find alum!!
Excited for you. I want to do another batch as well!
Beautiful inspiring thank you does the colours hold fast or fade ???
These prints were made about 2 1/2 months ago and still look the same so have not faded at all. Sometimes I spray them with the krylon gloss to protect them
I was wondering if you have tested the prints' longevity or colour fastness especially when they are displayed. Thanks!
This batch of prints was made 4 years ago and they still look the same as when I first made them.
Amazing, never seen something like that
It is amazing what nature shares with us!
Fabulous video. Which paper printed best? Did you prefer the water colour or the printers paper best?
They both worked well as far as absorbing pigments from the plants but the print making paper is a lot cheaper so far that reason I would vote for the print making paper.

Thank you!
Thank you Patti for the tutorial. I am wondering if the prints get nicer the longer you leave it before opening the bundle?
Yes, I would say so. I left mine overnight before I opened them all up. Also it makes a real difference on the type of flowers and leaves that you use as some have more tannins than others and will create brighter and more colorful prints.
One of my viewers suggested grape leaves and peony flowers for great prints.
Your prints are great. Any idea why there's so much yellow when very few of the flowers you used were that color? Something to do with the alum? I want more blues and pinks, any thoughts?
The rust will bring out more yellow and darker colours. I tried using a variety of flowers and colours to see what I would get. I was hoping for more pinks as well. The moms I used probably didn’t have a lot of pigment in them. Just try what you can find that is in season. . Like petunias in summer for pink colours and wild berries or blueberries will give you lots of blue. Japanese maple leaves work well and grape leaves too. Find vivid coloured flowers for more pigment.
Hallo Crafzy Patti, kannst Du mir auf deutsch sagen, welche Mittel Du fuer die Pflanzen nimmst ?🙏🙏🙏 leider kann ich kein englisch 😩
wie heiss ist das Wasser und wie lange bleibt das Paket in der Flüssigkeit ? schoene Ergebnisse 👍🌻

Hello Crafzy Patti, can you tell me in German what means you take for the plants? Unfortunately I can not speak English 😩
how hot is the water and how long does the package stay in dero
You can use any botanicals that you can find. Grape leaves and peony’s work really well.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour. Turn off heat and let sit over night.
Sie können alle Pflanzen verwenden, die Sie finden können. Weinblätter und Pfingstrosen arbeiten sehr gut.
Zum Kochen bringen und dann 1 Stunde köcheln lassen. Schalten Sie die Heizung aus und lassen Sie sie über Nacht sitzen.
Thank You . A wonderful video and I love all that you have shared. really love these papers.
Thanks Sylvia! Glad you liked the video!
Merci nice print of nature! Namaste
