    Some vegetable dyes I came across.
    Orange - Carrot (More vibrant than adding red + yellow)
    Green - Spinach (Much more consistent than adding yellow + blue)
    Brown - Tea Bags

Having complained however this is a very good video.

    I tried red cabbage and ginger, with fusili. Although the solution colours were really vibrant, they did not result in colouring the pasta very well (only darker and lighter). I also had a nice greenish colour with mixing cabbage and ginger boiled juice, but did not affect the pasta :(. I also added lime but no colour was translated. Could you suggest why this happened?
    Maybe it works better with spagetti? :) Do you know how it works with rice?

    if you use these dyes to dye paper, would you recommend waiting for the water to cool before soaking the paper or soak it while it is still hot (trying to dye homemade paper)

    • @joynhands
      @joynhands ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love paper dyeing too! I'd recommend waiting for the water to cool because the heat might damage the paper fibres. For most types of paper, soaking it in colour for longer than a minute I find disintegrate the paper fibres. If I need a stronger colour, I'd do a "recharge". Soak in dye - dry the paper - soak again, for several cycles until I am happy with the intensity of colour.

      You can! I make natural inks too. You can add in other ingredients to the vegetable dyes, like binder (gum arabic, shellac etc.), or modifiers to change the base colour, preservatives, to make it into ink for use with brushes or dip pens. If you are using them for fountain pens though, you need to check if the inks will be corrosive, stain your nib etc - so there are many factors to consider.

    • @joynhands
      @joynhands ปีที่แล้ว

      Assuming you want to create coloured candles, it's worth checking if the colour is oil soluble. For example, alkanet root, which is a botanical-based ingredient, makes a ruby-red colour when dissolved in oil but does not dissolve in water. The vegetable dyes in the video are water soluble, making a nice water-based dyes but not all would work for candles.

Result was perfect, the colour is set fast and not stinky in the slightest!
