Natural Dyes I have spent the last few days experimenting with natural dyes made from plant products. The process has given me a new appreciation for natural colours and fabrics. It has been a fascinating journey as I have tested the validity of different information on the topic and worked with the natural dyes. The information below has been gathered from research and my own findings. What Can Be Used as Natural Dyes? The best thing about natural dyeing is that the ingredients you need are fairly easy to come by. Here are just a few materials you can use (and the colors you’ll get with each). Brown Onion skins (yellow/orange) Red Onion Skins Coffee grounds/tea (brown) Strawberries/cherries (pink) Roses (pink) Lavender (pink) Red cabbage (blue/purple) Hyacinth flowers (blue) Beets (deep red) Iris roots (gray/black) Daylily blooms (red/purple) Artichokes (green) Celery leaves (yellow) Turmeric (yellow) Mulberries/blueberries/blackberries (purples) Red Hibiscus Flower (reds-purples) How to Get Started Straining the dye Step 1: Prepare the Dye Chop your plant or berries into small pieces, measure them, and put them in a medium-to-large pot. Add twice as much water as ingredients (if you put in two cups of plant material, add four cups of water). Bring to a boil, and then simmer for one hour. Strain off the hard materials and keep the “dye.” Keep in mind that the longer you let the materials sit in the water, the stronger your dye is going to be. If you have the time, you can even let it soak overnight (without heat) to get a really concentrated solution. Red Onion Skins Red Cabbage Brown Onion Skins Beets Red Hibiscus Vinegar Fixative Step 2: Prepare the Fixative Once you’ve picked out what you want to dye and you’ve got your dye all ready to go, you have to prepare a fixative for your fabric. This will “fix” the dye into the fibers so it won’t wash out. If you’re using berries to dye your fabric, you should use a salt fixative. Put 1/2 cup salt in 8 cups of water. Put your fabric in here and boil for one hour. If you’re using plants to dye your fabric, you have to use a vinegar fixative. Combine one part vinegar and four parts water, and boil the fabric in the mixture for one hour. When your fabric is done, rinse it out under cold water. Step 3: Dye the Fabric All you do now is place your wet fabric into the dye bath and simmer until the fabric has reached the color and shade you want. The color is going to be a bit lighter once the fabric dries out. Then, wash the fabric separately under running cold water until the water runs clear. Beetroot Dye Red Cabbage dye Brown Onion Dye Red Onion Dye Tea dye Red Hibiscus Dye Turmeric tie-dye Turmeric dyes (with tie dye) Sample natural dyes Sample natural dyes Red Hibisus colour after rinsing Red Cabbage dye pre-wash Beet pre-wash Brown onion pre-wash Names of dye for each fabric sample Naturally dyed fabric As evidenced by the pictures, natural dyes really do work! The easiest colours to obtain are brown, yellow, red and purple tones. I tried several of the listed natural dyes for green (grass, spinach & red onion skins) but none of them were successful; in fact, the red onion skins produced a strong brown/red colour. All of the colours are muted compared to the pre-wash colour. This may be simply the process for natural dyes. I did not use any chemical fixatives; these may have helped to hold the colours better!

The Gigi lighting collection by French designers warren + laetitia consists of a series of colourful modular pendant lights, each made up of three interchangeable parts. The Gigi lights are manufactured using 3D printing in the Paris studio from recycled and recyclable plastic bottles and industrially compostable bioplastic made from corn starch (rPETG + PLA). rPETG is a polymer made from recycled plastic bottles. For 1 kg of rPETG, 79 plastic bottles are recycled. Objects 3D printed with rPETG can be recycled at least 5 to 6 times by going through the same process. PLA is a bioplastic made from corn starch and is therefore a natural alternative to polyethylene. It is called bioplastic because PLA is made from natural raw materials, which makes it a recyclable, biodegradable and industrially compostable material.
