    I just discovered this awesome technique and immediately started figuring out ways to incorporate this with my teaching. One idea i’m playing around with is doing something with tea towels with my summer school class. This way we can create a fun and neat sciences based art project.
    I’m still playing around with ideas but one thought i had was to have them maybe use paint and put handprints on a piece of acrylic so they can take home “hand towels”. I thought that might be a fun keepsake.

    Justine, your results are beautiful. I just tried this with a cotton/silk scarf, but it was a bit of a failure. I hung it to dry in a wardrobe overnight, but when I went to put the plant material on the colour wasn't yellowy green, but a bluey colour? I did it anyway, and spritzed it with vinegar, and exposed it for couple of hours on a cloudy overcast day. When I washed it this morning, a lot of blue came out, and not very much definition of the plants? Is there anything I can do, do you think, to rescue this?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  ปีที่แล้ว

      This sounds like you had a "light leak" when your fabric was drying. The photo sensitive chemical stays green until it's exposed to UV/Sunlight - then it turns blue. If your fabric was exposed to any light that activated the chemical before putting your plants/objects on top, it will turn blue because it's already been exposed.
      Make sure to leave in a closet or cover all windows for your fabric to dry. Hope that helps!

    Hi thanks for the nice vídeo,
    So you reckon the best way to spread the quimics on the fabric is by putting the fabric inside the bowl/bucket where the chemicals are , then spreading the quimics with a brush or some tool over the fabric?

    • @JustineSilva

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Its super fun & easy. The chemicals actually come as powders, so you'll want to mix water into them about 24 hours before you're ready to print. Did a little research - looks like once they're mixed with water they have a shelf life of around 6 months.
      Once you mix A&B together though, they'll only last around 2 weeks.
      I'd recommend only mixing as much as you need to get your project done and keeping the extra in a dark place (cabinet?) til you're ready to use the rest :) Have fun out there!

    Hi, this is a wonderful tutorial. I plan on doing this with summer campers. I have a question about prep. Is it possible to prep the fabric the night before, let the fabric dry and keep it covered until the next day when I can then bring it out and the kids can place their items on it to be printed?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! You can absolutely prep pieces before, and let them dry. Just make sure to keep them in the dark until you're ready to print. You could even buy plastic mailers and fold a piece of fabric up for each camper!
      Jacquard also makes "kits" of pre-prepped "sun paper" which I have linked in the bio of my cyanotype video.
      I've also seen videos of teachers/counselors prepping a full cotton bed sheet and having kids lay on top to create the outlines of themselves! You can "develop" in a trash can filled with water, OR , you can run it into a lake (if your camp has one). Might be worth looking into! 🌀🌀🌀Have fun!!🌀🌀🌀

    Is it colorfast after you rinse and hang it to dry? I want to try this, but I need to figure out the color staining other things.

      Hi!Thanks for your comment. No - the colors should not transfer onto any other materials. This method of printmaking is closer to photography - it's not like dye where the pigment might rub off (like when you sit on a white couch in a new pair of jeans). Hope that helps!

      The dye should bind to the natural fibers, but I'm not totally sure about the synthetics. Always worth a shot - it could totally work - especially since the curtains probably won't get much wear and tear through washing etc.

Another consideration, I didn't scour the fabric first, so if it was pretreated in the production process there may have been a chemical reaction.

    The fabric looks white when you're arranging the leaves, but when you remove the cardboard outside it looks green. Is that green from the very second you took the cardboard off and it hits the fabric?

      The photo sensitive chemical dries greenish. Once it gets activated by the sun, it turns blue. The part covered by the leaves is the photosensitive chemical NOT activated by the sun - once you rinse it off, it turns white again!
      Make sure to rinse it ALL out (no more green) so the whites stay white! 🤍

      The bottles will come with powder (ammonium and potassium) in them. I filled them with water as shown on the bottle, but from that, I only mixed up what I needed to make my prints. For these, I soaked the fabric, but you can definitely use a brush (it's probably more efficient). If you're doing it on paper, I definitely recommend a brush!

      I just did this with the same brand she used. You can definitely tell the difference between when it is first mixed compared to even a few hours later. I tried using some 2 hours after it was mixed and it did not work at all- the blue was not stable and the whole paper turned white after I rinsed it in water. I definitely recommend saturating your paper or fabric as soon as it is mixed and only mix the amount you need. I made 8 prints on 8.5x11 paper with 1 oz of liquid for reference!

      I agree with Michelle! The kit comes with two separate solutions as powder. You'll need to add water to each bottle and let them sit (separately) overnight before mixing both together. (These instructions are on the bottle). Separately, the bottles have ~6 month shelf life - according to the internet.
      Once you're ready to mix A+B together, you can definitely use measuring cups to only mix the amount that you need, but I do recommend treating your paper/fabric right after you have the solution mixed. I usually let them dry in my bathroom with the door closed until I'm ready to print in the sun. Hope that helps!

      I'd use a mild detergent like Ivory and handwash :)

    Out of curiosity-I have this kit and know the bottles are smaller. Do you mix the parts in a bucket with water so you can dunk more efficiently, or do you have gallon sizes that you use for mixing?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  ปีที่แล้ว

      I mixed part A and B together and painted it onto my fabric. I was using a thin cotton gauze, so it wasn't hard to saturate it. The thicker the fabric is, the more solution it will take, so keep that in mind!

    so i've done t shirts but after washing them in the regular laundry they get brown. Any solutions to avoid loosing the blue?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd recommend hand washing. I wonder if it's turning brown because there's a reaction from the detergent and the light sensitive chemicals. I usually ivory snow on anything handmade because it's the 'gentle-est' detergent.

    How do I make these prints washing machine proof? :)

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would only hand wash these with a gentle detergent like ivory snow!

    Ma’am is there any way I can prevent the design from fading?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mine haven't faded since I made this video - I'd make sure you rinse the light sensitive chemicals all the way out, otherwise the whites will eventually begin to turn blue.

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide to make the blues brighter!

  • @estelley1424

    • @JustineSilva

      I didn't use any, but it's certainly something to look into!

    can we use indigo dye instead of those solutions?

      No, Indigo dye won't work with the sun.
      If you're interested in dyeing with indigo, check out my video on shibori dyeing!

      It depends on how sunny it is! I suggest doing a couple smaller test prints first :)

  • @myrajones8253

    hi everytime i try this, the print forms but as soon as i wash the fabric, it instantly disappears and the blue washes off. How can i fix this?

    • @JustineSilva
      @JustineSilva  ปีที่แล้ว

      hmm, that's really weird - are you using a 100% cotton fabric? If it's not a natural material (like cotton/linen/silk), the chemical may have a hard time "sticking" to the fibers. Stay away from polyester/acrylic.
      Hope that helps!

  • @lunalgabal7899

    What percentage of hydrogen peroxide do you use? Are 3% enough?

      Cyanotype is only blue. You can look into "Solar Fast" which has different colors. The process is similar to this one.

      Cyanotype only comes in blue, but it looks like you can use a product called "solar fast" by jacquard if you want different colors! :)
