You're enthusiasm is contagious and inspiring.... Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden..

I will be doing this this afternoon with my granddaughters on white dinner napkins, they can give them as gifts. I watched this to make sure I do it correctly thank you for the tutorial.

I love to see the younger generation doing things with your hands. Things made by hand are also made from the ❤️

A sheet of plastic on top of the wood, flower and then cloth. Less waste of dye.

What a fun project! I'm going to do this on pillowcases with man granddaughters who spend the night once a week and we do homeschool with them!

Spectacular 😮 Do you have any videos on teaching how to mordant the fabric beforehand? Thanks.🌊

she is a *literal* fairy.. and you CANNOT change my mind.

You are amazing, and you know something the work you are doing you must have millions appreciation.

My 7 yr old daughter and I just finished watching your video in its entirety-she wondered if we could come to your house and tell you how much we loved it😁 I said we can do the next best thing and leave a comment❤ Amazing tutorial, like I was sitting at a friend’s house! We had just tried our hand at our own flower pounding this morning (to unsatisfying results). We gleaned so much from you! Flower choice, deconstructing/reconstructing flowers with bulbous bases, even how to delicately hammer the flower…everything was helpful! Thank you so much😊 On a side note, you are MOVING away from that glorious flower garden?!

Ohhhh myyyyy!!!!!❤

Aw! Thunder is SUCH a cutie!

I’ve done collages of wedding flowers and funeral flowers as memory keepsakes for people. Made them into stitched framed wall art and pillows. I LOVE the pillows or quilts others have made from my pieces. The least showy flower makes the best print: roses the worst!

i cant believe how beautiful this is, thank you for showing us this magic!

Love how these are turning out❤

Been looking forward to this video for a long time! It looks great 😊

I love this video. Thank you

Great tutorial! Thank you!!

This looks fun!

so beautiful thank you!

Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video - can't wait to try this summer!

I LOVED this! Thank you!

I wanna try this next summer to make patches for mending later down the road. These would be so cute as knee patches on jeans. I've also been thinking about doing a floating petals thing with this technique on my muslin kimono.

😍😍😍 lovely, Thanks 🙏

Both are beautiful!

This is just SO COOL! Love this and want to try it with everything in my yard - next year, of course, when I there are leaves on trees and blooming flowers, again. Thanks, Laura. ♥

Lovely video. I really like this technique, it’s like preserving the garden in fabric. Also thanks for keeping me company at half past 2 am with a tummy ache.

Wow, thank you for sharing, this is so beautiful 🙏🌼❤️🌼🙏

Your fabric dying is beautiful! I'm going to try this!

Can’t wait to try your iron mordant method along with this tutorial. Super through, and your dye garden is/was beautiful ♥️😭

Loved the entire video! Thunder’s tail wagging made me smile!

The dog's tail wagging is so CUTE! Thanks for the video!

Thank you. I really enjoyed that. I feel like I learnt a lot. And a really lovely result.

I need to give this a try 🤩

What the dosage is for iron mordant for a T-shirt. How long do you soak the fabric in? Do you rinse it in water after that and let it dry? Love your fabric.

Question about your garden...do you clear out the stalks each fall? I collect zinnia heads but I usually clear out. I love the natural feel of your garden space. Everything just regrows the following year! Wonderful source for your fabrics!

Your garden is so beautiful and full of character

Very interesting! I like the way you used the second fabric on top to catch the print from both sides!

Wow, using 2 pieces at once is such a great idea. Beautiful You are so easy to listen to, thank you

Thank you for making this super informative and relaxing video. I’m going to do this with my students tomorrow!! ❤

Its so amazing how the actual colour of the flower changes when hammered on the fabric i so want to do this thsnks gor sharing .

This tutorial was really cool. Thanks I will definitely be bookmarking it for next year.

Is a great video. I enjoyed it very much seeing all the different kind of flowers in your garden and all the things that you’ve shown us in this video has been great. Thank you so much.

Your garden is so pretty. And it's a reminder to me that I need to deadhead less often and just let the flowers be...and drop their seeds for next year.

LOOK AT HOW CUTE. Laura, I love it! You're so creative and amazing 🤩

Beautiful

Well hi again ......I just looked on your channel and yes you do crochet! Great to have found you! :)

The printing is very good

Thank u

This looks a lot easier then I was taught

Love this- I'm making a friend a Garden Journal. French linen fabric pockets with this eco print will be awesome. I need to find your video where you prep the fabric.

Amei❤❤❤

You could cover the flowers with watercolour paper before hammering, maybe use it as a birthday card?

Great video..thank you for the time and showing someone new to this! I am excited to try this asap. So beautiful! I will be trying to use many things of course haha, but especially love that you implement the greenery! I love green and green colours, my favourite colour. I loved the results you had.I think will pursuing this much more than just natural dying, it appeals to me much more..one thing I've noticed with natural dying is that most natural dyers I've watched etc never seem to have many green dyes, is it because they are harder to keep green? I want to try finding some really varying colours of greens hahaha..I watched an amazing video based in Japan, an old Japanese man has been carrying on his fathers legacy, but his father had sadly started using chemical dyes, so when his father died, he went back to researching natural dyes, and it is quite amazing what he's been producing!! Absolutely stunning and the video is so relaxing to watch.

Do you iron after you’ve hammered the flower onto the fabric?? Thank you, love this!!

Laura, if I don’t have rusty nails, can I use non rusty and it will just take longer to are the iron mordant?

Its beautiful. Will it stay for long after washing?

These are so pretty! How do you wash the fabric?

I love your video, watched the mordant video on how to make the mordant but is there a video that shows HOW to prep the fabric? Do you soak the fabric? Or is it a a quick dip? After The mordant do you wash the fabric before you start hammering? I’ll look for more videos…

Excellent,how to pre-treat the fabric before we print?😊

Love your garden ,did you know nesturtions leaves dried out give you peper

Excellent video I can't wait to try this! Also are you also a crochet addict? Did you make your own jumper ....I love the stripes!

So pretty! 🌸🌼 Have you tried any Cosmo leaves before?

Now I have to grow cosmos next year!!!! Do you know, can you use the petals to make a blue dye? Like for wool? It would be so cool to use that to make a mandala!!!

Have you tried using coloured fall leaves for hammering>

It's so beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. Are you using cotton material?

Hey Laura, how do you mordant the fabric? is it a certain time you leave it in the solution? do you wash after?

can a breyer roller be used or even something heavy rolled over it (like putting under a car tire and drive over it- so the sound of the pounding is eliminated?

How do you prepare the fabric? Do you do anythung before or after? Thank you very much.

I really like this and would like to see what you make with it.

I want to try this as a ladies gathering at church. Maybe on tea towels. How can you make the fabric resistant to washing and fading?

How do you preserve the colors? I would imagine they change over time?

How do you wash the fabric after it's finished?

Can I use this technique on my dress

I have a question: do you wash out the mordant when you are finished?

Does this print stay if you wash the item?

Can you provide the link for the iron mordant recipe??

Can you wash after you do the flowers?

Hello Laura, what kind of hammer did you use?

Hi I was wondering about sealing this for washing? Could you just use a color stay fixative?

Beautiful. I suspect using iron as a mordant is why you have dark blue and brown colours (from pink and red). Have you tried this with other types of mordants? Also, what does it look like after washing? Do the prints bleed or blur ?

So how do you ore-mordant the fabric? Just dip it in the mordant? Do you have to soak it or cook it? Please let me know!

Beautiful! My I ask for your mordant recipe?

Does the colours fadeor is it permanent after.wash also.

Does the colour wash out?

I just played with this this weekend, but I didn’t know to pretreat the material and after a cold water rinse, only browns are left. Will the pretreat make the clothing washable?

Lovely ! What fabric is that ?

What kind of hammer are you using? Is it battery operated?

How do you pretreat the cloth before you start?

I wanted to know like how many wash does this work stays?

How do u get the material ready (mooted)?

What do you mean by mordant the fabric

hey is there a way to make this print last longer? like vinegar solution or something?

How to keep them permanently I mean will they fade after wash

I have heard that you should iron the fabric when you are done and treat it with vinegar??? Any instructions for this method?

can you plastic mallet or metal hammer?

Do petunias work?

Hey and how about the laundry it doesn’t disappear?

What mordant do you use? I tried alum but it did not give a desired effect.
