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

I completely agree ORIGINAL IS REAL

@@mildlywildfamilygemz1757 Yes, so true!

True!!!

Inspirada, obrigada, Deus te abençoe!

❤️

¡gracias!

Gracias!

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.

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

What flowers and leaves work best?

Thank you! Cheers!

@@landfoodcraft really...you are good ...best wishes 👍

@@artandcraftbypadmag6832 ❤️😊🙏

Haha I did not know about this genre! Thanks for watching :)

¡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.

Muy pocas palabras habladas, ¡pero tal vez pueda hacerlo con el traductor de Google! :) Al final dice "este puede volver a entrar" por más azul.

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.

Thank you for watching! Jennifer would dye some fabric before printing but it isn’t necessary. She added more dye after in some cases. Divertiti!

Parchment paper

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 RU-vid. 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!

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

Yes though the fabric was mordanted in alum and iron

La calefacción que ves es una vaporera. No se utilizan productos químicos. Puede obtener más información de su sitio web en la descripción. ¡Gracias por ver!

I believe they were hollyhocks, yes. Thanks for watching!

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!

@@landfoodcraft Thanks for the information 👍🏻

Alum and iron mordant

Forever and ever :)

@@landfoodcraft ah good to know. Thanks !

Beautiful

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

She did it by hand, slowly dipping it further into the dye pot. Thanks for watching!

I don't believe it ever fades with washing, sorry for late reply. Did you have any luck? You can visit her website in the description for more information. Thank you for watching!

@@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.

@@breeesplanada8528 Cool! I hope you get good results this time. ❤️

@@landfoodcraft I hope so too!

❤️❤️❤️

I'm not sure Jennifer will see this question but if you'd like to contact her, her website is www.plantspiritfibers.com. Thanks for watching!

Alum and iron are used for mordant

Alum and iron for mordant

Looks like cooking paper

I believe it was silk. You can visit her website in the description for more information. Thank you for watching!

Silk

I do not know exactly but it seemed very similar to parchment paper. That might be what it was.

Looks like silk

The colour of the fabric is brown?

@@wickandde yeah, it's look like silk fabric, the texture. But i am not sure if 100% silk or not.

@@kavitajilkar8784 they dyed it first before eco printing, or can be after.

I believe she was using silk in this video. Her website is in the description if you would like more info. Thanks for watching!

in Indonesia we use "Tawas" for color last longer, in english might be potassium alum

I don't believe she uses any chemicals. I think this technique can be used for many different fibers, so probably clothing too. You can visit her website in the description for more information. Thank you for watching!

Silk

The fabric was steamed after having the plants applied. You can visit her website in the description for more information. Thank you for watching!

I don't remember but I think it was something like half an hour. Hopefully other videos have more instructions for you. Thank you for watching!

Hello, thank you for watching! Jennifer does have an online shop on her website. Here is a link and you can find contact information for her there as well: plantspiritfibers.com/products Best to you!

Hi Melony, thanks for watching! Sorry that this is not meant to be an instructional video, just a moment in the life of this artist. I think there are many instructional videos on this technique by other RU-vid creators, thankfully. Good luck!
