EcoPrinting No Boiling No Mordant, does it work?!

Hello everyone, it's been a pretty while since I posted here, and in the meantime I got hooked by, well, another obsession: eco printing! I attended a very thoroughly -in person- workshop about it, and I was pretty sure I would never attempted it in the future because it was too much hassle, especially the boiling and the mordant part (adding some chemicals to the water to prep the fabric/paper). 

But curiosity won me over and I decided to ride the heat wave that hit Italy this Summer. I made several experiments, and filmed two videos, very long ones, you can watch them double speed, since my English is pretty simple and I speak slow :-)

First experiments using a tin can, iron blanket on paper:

Experiments with a proper rusted tube on fabric and paper:

Here's a short showing a notebook made out of ecoprinted papers:

Video Tutorial:Handmade Specimen Cards with Grafix

And here we are with the latest collaboration post with Grafix! I had this idea to make a set of specimen cards, and I confess I struggled a bit at start, but then I found the right size and medium, and in the end I really like how these turned out (maybe I am biased with anything colourful). The trasparent effect you get printing on the Grafix Inkjet Backed adhesive film is gorgeous, definitely one on my favourite product out there. Enjoy the video!

Here's a short video feauturing them:
