@@drawnbybarb4434 Hi once again. I was looking on the Printing With Botanicals group for posts with Myrobalan. I just used it for the first time yesterday evening with a spot of iron and I loved the colour. I only did this on the plants through as I wanted to test it on paper. Barb, was your bundle in this video simmered or steamed? I will of course try both but came across this, so I thought I'd ask. Thank you so kindly.
There is a bit of preparation & natural dye materials involved. www.madebybarb.com/2019/06/01/what-is-myrobalan/ and also instructions with details here: www.madebybarb.com/2019/06/15/resist-method-of-eco-printing/ Videos get very long if all explanation is included.
I have omitted using a mordant on the linen since it is a substantive dye. Sometimes use a home-made Aluminum Acetate mordant on cellulose fibres. Myrobalan is my favourite and can be bought locally as 'Harde Powder' in certain ethnic shops. Happy printing!
