    http://www.aurorasilk.com/ Tutorial: How To Dye Black with Natural Dyes by Cheryl Kolander. Excerpted from TrueFibers. Aurora Silk sells a full selection of natural dyes and mordants. For ideas on which dyes and which mordants to use, view our Natural Dye colour Chart. For more detailed dyeing recipes, read Brilliant Colours! by Cheryl Kolander. After recording the dry weight of your fiber, wet the fiber out in warm or hot water. STEP I: TANNIN 2 oz. tannic acid per pound of fiber (dry weight) OR: 4 oz. tara sawdust per pound of fiber, extracted twice OR: 3 oz Catechu (Cutch) extract per pound of fiber with optional 1/2 oz copper mordant 1. Dissolve tannic acid or catechu extract in hot water. 2. Heat the solution to approximately 200 F. 3. Remove from heat. 4. Enter the silk (or other fiber) that has been thoroughly wet out in warm to hot water. 5. Set to soak for at least 24 hrs, stirring occasionally. STEP II: IRON 1/2 to 1 oz Ferrous Sulphate per pound of fiber Use the lesser amount for fine silk yarn and soft wools. Use the greater amount for wild silk and other fibers. 1. Dissolve the iron in warm water. 2. Soak fiber in a mild soap solution about 15 minutes to neutralize the acid in the tannin (which couters the effect of the iron). This step is not necessary if you used Catechu for STEP I. 3. Add fiber to warm iron solution and soak for about 20 minutes. 4. Remove fiber from iron solution, wring excess solution from fiber, and hang to air 20 minutes to 1 hour.

  • Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints

    Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints

    Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints Michele Derrick, Joan Wright, Richard Newman oodblock prints were first pro- duced in Japan during the sixth Wto eighth century but it was not until the Edo period (1603–1868) that the full potential of woodblock printing as a means to create popular imagery for mass consumption developed. Known broadly as ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures of the float- ing world,” these prints depicted Kabuki actors, beautiful women, scenes from his- tory or legend, views of Edo, landscapes, and erotica. Prints and printed books, with or without illustrations, became an inte- gral part of daily life during this time of peace and stability. Prints produced from about the 1650s through the 1740s were printed in black line, sometimes with hand-applied color (see figure 1). These col- ors were predominantly mineral (inorganic) pigments supplemented by plant-based (organic) colorants. Since adding colors to a print by hand was costly and slowed pro- duction, the block carvers eventually hit upon a means to create a multicolor print using blocks that contained an “L” shaped groove carved into the corner and a straight groove carved further up its side in order to align the paper to be printed (see figure 2). These guides, called kento, are located Figure 1.

    Intake of Water Containing Condensed Tannin by Cattle and Sheep Scott L

    Rangeland Ecol Manage 61:354–358 | May 2008 Research Note Intake of Water Containing Condensed Tannin by Cattle and Sheep Scott L. Kronberg Author is Animal Scientist, US Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service, Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory, Mandan, ND 58554, USA. Abstract Ingestion of small amounts of condensed tannin (CT) by ruminants can prevent bloat, improve nitrogen retention, and reduce excretion of urea, a precursor of ammonia and the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Because grasses and many forbs don’t contain CT, it is desirable to find a reliable way to have ruminant livestock ingest small amounts of CT when they consume high-quality forage. Putting CT in their drinking water may be a reliable approach, but only if all animals drink enough to meet their requirements for water. Therefore, objectives of this study were to determine the amount of variation in intake of water containing different amounts of CT when this was the only water available, and if cattle and sheep would drink water with CT in it if offered tap water simultaneously. Animals were penned or pastured individually, fed twice daily (first cattle and sheep trial) or grazed (second cattle trial) and had ad libitum access to tannin water, tap water, or both. Liquid intake was measured daily. Steers drank tannin solutions (mean daily intake 49.7–58.3 kg), but variation in intake among steers was higher than for tap water (SD were 44%–58% greater for the two most concentrated tannin solutions). At the highest concentration of tannin, steers ingested 2.3% of their daily feed intake in CT.

    Modified Tannin Extracted from Black Wattle Tree as Environmental-Friendly Antifouling Pigment Rafael S. Peres,1 Elaine Armelin,2,3 Carlos Alemán2,3 and Carlos A. Ferreira,1 1LAPOL/PPGE3M, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Av. Bento Gonçalves 9500, 91501-970, Porto Alegre, Brazil 2 Departament d’Enginyeria Química, ETSEIB, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Av. Diagonal 647, 08028 Barcelona, Spain 3 Centre for Research in Nano-Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Campus Sud, Edifici C’, C/Pasqual i Vila s/n, Barcelona E-08028, Spain. Abstract The use of modified black wattle tannin as antifouling pigment is reported in this work. Mixture of tannin adsorbed in activated carbon (soluble fraction of tannin) and low soluble fraction of tannin was used as antifouling pigment. The soluble rosin resin was used as paint matrix. 13C NMR analysis confirm the modification of black wattle tannin through the cleavage of tannin interflavonoid bonds. FTIR spectra indicates the presence of tannin in the formulated antifouling coating even after 7 months of its exposure in marine environment. Water contact angle analysis shows the hydrophilic characteristic of tannin antifouling coating surface. Immersion tests at Badalona port in Mediterranean Sea shows the high antifouling efficiency of TAN coating, comparable to the commercial paint, until 7 months. The use of a natural black wattle tannin, without its complexation with metals, can eliminate the release of metals and other toxic biocides to the marine environment. Keywords:
