The Organic Artist and The Organic Artist for Kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I made this book for everybody. I know, it says in the title that it is for kids, but really, it could also have been named: "The Organic Artist for People Who Want To Make Their Own Art Materials From Nature But Also Like Creative Projects That Are More Immediately Gratifying". But my publisher wouldn't have gone for that so that's that. The Organic Artist for Kids is a companion and somewhat of a sequel to my previous book, The Organic Artist.

Anyone who wants a fun and creative way to spend time outside while learning valuable skills will find this book to be a uniquely useful guide. Parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, art educators, nature instructors, classroom teachers, and other mentors will be happy to get their hands on this book.

So exercise your natural creativity and hold that space for the young people in your life to do the same.

Natural Dye Quilts

Much of my work is made from hand dyed and printed textiles. I use natural materials such as wool, silk, cotton, and linen almost exclusively and use dyes and pigments made from plants and insects. I grow or forage many of my own dyes, such as black walnuts, Osage orange, marigolds, and weld. Inherently tactile, slow, and labor intensive, quilting provides an opportunity for quiet reflection. Like quilting, the process of dyeing or printing fabric using natural dyes is slow and methodical. From growing, harvesting, and preserving the plant materials, to creating the dye baths and carefully dyeing the fiber, each step creates an opportunity for reflection and gratitude. Though I strive for a level of control in the process, nature is inherently uncontrollable and I enjoy the variation and surprise that comes through in the work. These variations can feel magical and I often allow them to guide my work. It can feel frivolous and impractical to use such time consuming and anachronistic practices. But I am more and more aware of the importance of slowing down, of using our hands, and reconnecting with the past as a way to honestly and authentically create a future.

Welcome to my continued obsession of Eco-Printing and don't blame me if it happens to you. After I ran out of fabric and scarves I looked for a new canvas to Eco Print on... anything white is not safe at my place. The good news; it's worth the effort as this simple Eco Printing on Paper has again amazed me!

What you need:

Since I have been an artist & illustrator for a few decades (hardly believable) I have quite a stock of paper. This method involves some moisture so the paper needs to have some thickness and stability. I have used a multitude of papers and I can't say any have been awful.

Watercolour paper works well however it may need additional soaking as it's more absorbent. At first it may be wise to use inexpensive papers. Since my focus was to make cards I decided to go crazy and use whatever I found even using dollar-store card stock. Simple bond card stock has enough weight as well. In my opinion the combination of the leaf and mordant seem to effect the print more than the paper.

Well, yes, I almost forgot; you need leaves! Fresh, dried, frozen, whatever works for you. I use ones that I have dried by pressing and now store flat.

Preparation:

I know everyone likes exact recipes, but this art form is not quite like that. My leaves, water, paper may be different than your's. I now have somewhat of an understanding of which leaves seem to 'perform' for me. Multiple maples, sumac, rose leaves, purple sand cherry, burr oak, walnut, weigela, are some of my favourites. I soak them in a solution of about 35-50% vinegar water that has a bit of iron sulphate added. Sometimes I just use some of my iron 'liquor' from my rusty-water-bucket. Don't ask me how my laundry room looks!

Leaving them for the duration of readying the paper makes for about 30 minutes. The iron starts to react with the tannins in the leaves so I don't leave them for too long.

Readying the paper:

Just as eco printing has many options for preparing fabric; as does paper. Paper is really just a cellulose fibre like cotton or tree pulp. Alum solution dip is one option but will yield more yellow results so I have simplified even further using just a vinegar/iron dip. You really should experiment to see how varying can affect the results.

I slide each sheet of cut paper (plan the sizes to what your end product will be) through the solution and stack them immediately. They do not get oversaturated but can absorb while waiting for the layering. The thick expensive watercolour papers will need more soak as they are sized for painting on. Sizing makes the paint bleed less so water will also absorb less.

Lets make Sandwiches:

After soaking the leaves blot them on an old towel. Tip: if you would like nicely defined prints it should not be too wet, but also good flat contact. It's best to wear gloves to place the foliage as you desire. My choice is to layer between each sheet and therefore get a print on each side to choose from afterward. Other options include rolling on a dowel or using folded cards.

Keeping the stacks of the same size helps give good contact.

After stacking you will need a way of applying pressure and keeping them flat in a hot environment. Ceramic tiles bound with elastics or bungee cords work well. I do not use metal since I process in a microwave.

A Little Trick:

Since I do not submerse my stacks in liquid or dye but do like some 'watercolour' effects (not to mention I do have a multitude of jars of different natural dyes in my fridge) I use a plastic syringe to squirt some dye into the stacks and let it run through. Turn and squeeze.

Either the stack can be set in plastic or into a glass casserole (only used for dyeing) to hold moisture. If working a few different dyes (such as madder, cochineal, some tea) each stack can have it's own plastic pouch. If needed the stems may get snipped off.

Heat Processing:

Since having had good success with processing my fabric eco-printing in the microwave I have adapted my paper processing as well. There is some excess moisture in the stack but it s not submersed. Whether in a glass dish or plastic bags I aim to have minimal air leakage (to save the moisture) to assure that everything stays moist and not flammable.

A few minutes to start and checking for temperature (I love my temperature gun) to work up to about 180 -190 degrees. My microwave has a turntable, otherwise manual turning will ensure even heat. After reaching a good hot temperature it needs to sit and retain as much heat as possible so I pop the whole stack into my big old blanket for as long as I like. After a few hours I can stick my finger in and see how much heat it's held. It is quite amazing! I can again heat it another round. Or not. I've had good results either way, as long as it gets a good rest with the heat. Flipping the stacks will also help distribute the 'liquors' in the pouch.

After processing I usually let it cool before opening but again that is not a rule. I 'sooo' look forward to the opening that I make it like a quasi-reward after cleaning or doing other less desirable tasks. It's so much fun lifting each page and 'wowing' at the art!

Oh, the colour!

Yup! Maple leaves, sumac and a squirt of old cochineal dye ( see my post using cochineal here) I love the purples that it gives since it is so sensitive to the iron and PH levels. Try madder, hibiscus tea, walnut... be creative!

The amount of veining that can print is mind-blowing as well. It's a balance of heat/moisture/pressure/absorption! Actually it's a slightly controlled magic!

Can you really pick a favourite!? It might be difficult to give these away as cards...

Sumac and Burr Oak! It makes being the 'crazy lady who picks up leaves' all worth it!

Sometimes the colours that magically appear are unexplainable.

The lovely soft washes of colour and definition come from the way the liquids run through between the papers and leaves.

I could not decide which pictures were the best either...

To think of all the hours I would spend meticulously painting details and here I can print 40 cards at once and no 2 can ever be alike!

Flowers can also print however don't expect the colour of the petals. The bulkiness can also be a problem as the stack will get very lumpy and not have good contact. But usually where there is a will there is a way...

If you are new to eco printing this may be the easiest way to get your toes wet and could be quite inexpensive. Check out more eco Printing posts here

Simple Eco Printing on Paper - Made By Barb - easy tutorial botanical art

In my personal botany studies I've been thinking a lot about my own connection with plants in my environment. Fortunately our yard has a diverse range of foliage thanks to the garden loving lady that once owned the house we're renting and I've had a lot of good things to study right outside my door.

In the past few weeks I've become interested in eco-printing, a process similar to dying but uniquely different. Essentially, if solar printing and natural dying had a baby you'd have a so-called eco-print.

The essential quality of an eco-print is that you use the natural dyes in plants to make a print onto another surface ( like paper or more commonly, fabric). When you first start looking into eco-printing the majority of resources really talk about the application in fiber arts. Though I love fiber-based work, and create some from time to time, what I really wanted was the ability to recreate this effect on paper.

Threadborne offers a great tutorial on eco-printing both fabric and paper by Wendy Feldberg ( with additional tutorials collected at end of main post). The site includes some good supplemental information about health and safety ( super important) and is one of the best resources I've come across due to its uncomplicated but thorough instruction and effective photographic documentation.

Additionally, I ran across this awesome tutorial (below) for a "boiled book" that combines the basic principles of eco-printing with some more lay-person friendly methodology that makes prints much more predictable.

While many artists might adopt a purist view that adding commercial dye is a bit contradictory to the "eco" part of eco-printing ( and others might argue strongly against not using a mordant to treat the paper to ensure stronger retention of plant dyes), I've found that the boiled book video demo is super easy and beginner friendly.

In my own exploration I really bumbled myself through everything but in the end I found myself with paper that I like so I'm happy. I've got more ideas about what to try but I wanted to share some of what I did as I think that it's pretty simple for anyone with a casual interest to achieve great results without the need of a lot of specialty stuff ( or a degree in fiber arts). Of all the ways I've seen, the instruction provided in the "boiled book" video and what's outlined here is by far the most simplified (but results assured) way of going about this.
ECO-PRINTING THE "EASY WAY"

Printmaking or watercolor paper (140 lb recommended) than has good sizing and can be soaked for long periods of time (fully immersed).

White Vinegar (regular household type)

Big pot or pan that you do not use for food... (or don't use for food later on)

Foliage from your garden or yard (check out some of the stuff you probably should in the lists linked further down though)

Thread or rubber bands

Gloves (seriously, use gloves)

Scrap board (optional)

Clamps (optional)

Items that are helpful but could be substituted for anything similar (or eliminated): tub or bowl that you don't use for food (or will not use for food later on) to put your dyed papers in before and during washing, paper towels to layer between pages to help draw out moisture, a towel to lay everything out on, a table under a fan to help dry out papers.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

1. Cut or tear paper down to a size that fits your pot or pan. You can curve the paper stack a little (as in a taller pot) but folding is not advised because your wet paper will be fragile and this will distress the surface and make it crumble or pill later on if you work back into it with other wet media. Also slightly curving or bending will make some areas of your paper looser and more dye will soak into this band and look weird.

2. Pick stuff to print - layer these between your paper pieces. I would recommend that you use a variety of plants in between each page so that if something doesn't work, the other items might. As advised in the video, it is a really good idea to allow plants to go off the edges so that dye soaks into the veins and around the outline of the plant. Avoid really flimsy plants like clover - they just turn smiley and gross.

3. Tie your stack together with thread (or wrap with rubber bands). The video suggests using a board and clamps and this is a good idea because it keeps your papers tightly (and evenly) bound in the pot. I tried this process with and without this addition and honestly, they seemed about the same so maybe it's not critical (although I think that I wrapped them pretty tight with thread to begin with).

4. Boil some water (enough to cover your stack of paper completely).

5. Add some vinegar. I added about 1 cup to about a gallon of water for my own stuff. I'd say it's fine to eyeball it - just be generous.

6. Soak your stack in the vinegar water for 15-20 minutes or so to make sure everything it really saturated and maintain a slight rolling boil.

7. Add a cap full of dye (or a little bit of a powdered dye packet) in whatever color you prefer. The video shows the use of indigo powered dye. I used black RIT liquid dye (1 cap full).

8. Keep covered and continue to keep at a rolling boil for 1 to 1.5 hours (or longer).

9. When done, put on gloves and take the stack out, drain it, and allow to cool a bit.

10. Using gloves, cut off the thread or rubber bands and discard.

11. Start taking each sheet up and gently pull off the plants and discard.

12. Gently rinse off any remaining plant matter/dye from paper but be super careful not to rub the surface so that you don't disturb the fibers for future use.

13. Lay flat to dry. As I was rinsing my sheets off I layered them between paper towels so that some of the moisture would be removed. This helped when I went to lay them flat on a towel on a table under a ceiling fan and they only took a few hours to finish drying out.

14. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Make all the things!

Some notes: I used Reeves BFK (in tan, cream, and white), blue Pescia (a printmaking paper), and Arches ( all 140 lb papers) and they worked great. I would avoid cheep watercolor papers ( or anything less than 90 lb) which may only be sized on one side as they will be less likely to withstand the whole process. I tried to sandwich my first stack of papers between mat board and it started to flake apart and while this worked to keep my papers together tightly it was not fun.

There are obviously some things that could be harmful to you ( plus your children and pets) if cooked inside your house. Don't just assume you'll be okay if you don't know for sure what kinds of plants you're using.

Ideally, only do this in a space with good ventilation that is not around your family and pets. However, if you're like me all you have is your kitchen and this means you'll want to be careful to be more conscientious to be safe.

I haven't found a list that explicitly states " don't boil this stuff when you are trying to make eco-prints or you'll die " but I did find some good lists of common backyard plants that are toxic. These list specific parts of plants that are poisonous and logic leads me to believe that you probably don't want to boil these components in your kitchen and then spend 2 hours breathing in are emitted from the "soup".

Additionally, do research and learn what other eco-printers use and have success with. For example - I see all over the web that people use dandelions, peonies, rose leaves, and oak leaves when doing home dying so I know these are safe to use.

I don't want to freak anyone out or deter you from trying this out or anything but this is not something to be taken lightly. Please be careful with pets and small animals in your house. Just think about the whole canary in the coal mine scenario - your pets will not need as much exposure as you will to feel bad. Even though I checked out all the plants I used in my own experiments I still felt pretty nauseated from the smell of my boiled concoctions and was careful to air out the house throughout the process to keep my pets from being in danger.

I followed the above directions for my first batch of small pieces of paper. They turned out great and I was so excited to reveal and rinse each piece. Peonies and rose leaves achieved some of the best results for me.

The second batch had paper that was twice as big - I ( unsuccessfully) tried to steam these in the oven inside a make-shift steamer with a foil baking tin, drying rack, and turkey bag. Epic fail.

This process really just dried stuff out so in a last ditch effort I soaked the stack in some faucet-hot vinegar water for about 5 minutes and then curled and pushed the whole stack into the remains of the first batch and boiled for 45 minutes. At that point I was tired of the smell and said it was enough. But it still worked out!

There really wasn't much difference between the success of the first ( well planned batch) and second ( what the hell) batch so just I'd recommend just throwing yourself into it. The addition of the dye really helps make sure that you get some visually stunning results even if you're not working with ideal plants and don't have pre-treated papers.

I did order some alum to use as a mordant in the future - I want the actual plant dyes to be more obvious in the finished product and this seems to be one way to obtain this effect.

I'm really excited to make stuff when my finished pieces. I'll report back about their light-fastness and water-resistance once I start using them.

Have fun (but please be safe and don't die)!
