I do like this video! I am subscribed! Also, fun. Yes. Very. I am actually SO very impressed that you managed the colours of Sweden from a single flower!
@@michaelaschmidWelcome!Glad you liked it!One more:-You can dry the mesh out in the sun/gently fry it on a pan till dry,make its powder and add water diluted Gum Arabic to it so you can make an Iris crayon/pastel ou of it!
I had a sudden brainwave in the bath and thought of this same idea! Just a little late to the party haha I think you could also use the pulp to make a colour bath and dip in clothes or curtains... a nice ombre might work best, I'd wager
@@ishasunconditional5056 given how often @Michaela Schmid shows us embroidery, perhaps we'll see some home-dyed yarn...? Although I don't have a clue how one would fixate the colour into the threads - I've never graduated beyond packets of supermarket dye myself : just add salt, water and clothes (and make sure you rinse your machine well afterwards)
i love both of those colors!!! i wish i collected some flowers during summer, i could make my own inks and paint with them! thank you so much for the video, i'll definitely try this one day!
@@wallewaltz you can do that, but the color will probably not be as intense and will brown a lot quicker. Natural pigment browns over time, but with alum it’ll take much longer time :)
@@wallewaltz by the by, if you have trouble finding alum, there’s other mordants you can try like iron and copper. I never tried those because I bought a bag of alum three years and have used that ever since, but other Options are available :) if you google something like “mordants for natural dyeing” you can find whole lists of things you could try
You could dehydrate the flower pulp and make it into powdered pigment, add some glycerine, gum arabica and boom another ink/watercolor
That is such a good idea! I'll try that next time. Thank you!
"it's something philosophers think of as... Fun" amazing. 😆 This was an awesome video thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Your cutting board is a storybook and I just love looking at it!
I love that board, so much history :)
Thank you for a wonderful video, I have just picked many flowers and leaves and will give it a try! Most excited 😁
Excellent
Beautiful!U can use the petal mesh for making recycled/handmade paper. 🎊🎉The second method is the most easiest one!Thankyou
That is such a fantastic idea! Thank you so much, I’ll definitely do that next time :)

Yeah, this video comes at the wrong end of the summer, but there’s always next year! 😂
@@michaelaschmid by the way do we need alum? could we just strain the flower and use what's left as an ink?
@@wallewaltz you can do that, but the color will probably not be as intense and will brown a lot quicker. Natural pigment browns over time, but with alum it’ll take much longer time :)
@@michaelaschmid ah how interesting, i didn't know that. i'll look into some alum and hopefully next year i'll have some fun with this.
