So hi, im roman, FINALLY todays video id like to show you the secret recipe how i made ecoprint on fabric, how i create a beautifull print on it, a secret why and how the leave or the flower leave their shape beautifully, this is base on my exploration, maybe the weather, ph level of water and so many factor will affect the result, but you can try this recipe. 

This video is maybe long, but i dont want to cut the video so i will show you every step of the process of the textile making. 

Step by step :
1. Choose the best fabric/materials
2. Clean the fabric (Scouring), i have 2 ways to clean deeply the fabric (2 method)
3. Preparing the fabric (Mordanting), 2 step to make your fabric is ready to dye.
4. Selection of the plants. 
5. Bundles and Steam Technique. 
6. I love you. 

1. Fabric / Materials
The first is the most important before you making natural dyes, selection of fabric or material, because we work on natural dyes, natural things, so make sure the fabric that u ll be use is from nature also, like linen, cotton, or maybe silk.

2. Scouring
The second, is to scoured the fabric, what is scouring means? Scouring refers to thoroughly washing or deep cleaning the fabric, to remove residue or residual chemicals on the cloth from the factory when fabric making. 

This is one factor of success in achieving strong color on natural dyes, is to start with completely clean fabric. Does this mean fabric washed in washing machine? No! We think the washer gets our clothes totally clean but it honestly does not. That is why, to get a good even coverage with your dyes, it is very important that you deep clean your cellulose fabric such as cotton, linen, bamboo, or maybe silk.

For me, this is my method, i have 2 ways to scour the fabric, the first is boil the fabric on hot water with some soda ash about 20 minutes, or if you dont have a soda ash you can use any detergent, but i recomend a soda ash and TRO (Turkish Red Oil). Boil for 20 minutes and ready for the next step, but if you patient enoght i have another tips, another methos, that is leave your fabric on soda ash mix with water for about a night or a couple night, until the fabric is clean and dry it. 

3. Mordant
The 3rd step, next for this step is to mordant the fabric, what is mordant means? Mordant is like to prepare your fabric for natural dyes, mordanting process make your fabric good enought to sticking the tanin (the substance in plants that produces color/natural dyes) from leaves and flower. More rich the tannins on a plant, more strong the color will be.

There is 2 step of mordanting the fabric, 

Mordant First step, recipe (you can re-adjust composition) : 
Aluminium Sulfate (Tawas)
Iron Sulfate (Tunjung) 
Baking Soda
Vinegar
Mix all the ingredients with water
Dry the fabric.
Note : be careful with fragile fabric like silk, dont add too much recipe

Mordant Second step, recipe : 
Calcium Carbonate (lime betle/kapur sirih)
Mix with water 
Ready to print or you can dry it and keep for print when you need. (Make sure make it wet again the fabric before you print)

For the precise composition please follow and dm me on instagram
