SEAWEED
Materials:
2 ml Japanese seaweed
1ml aluminum sodium sulfate
1-cup water
Silk
Procedure:
First I heated the water in a pot on a hot plate so that the water was very hot but not yet boiling. Then I placed the seaweed and mordant into the pot and let it soak for about twenty minutes. Then I added my silk sample and let it stay in the dye bath over night because it was not taking the color as well as expected.
Analysis:
After letting the silk sample sit in dye bath over night and rinsing it off the next day I saw that it turned the silk a nice shade of dark deep green that is almost a turquoise color. The dye stuck to the fabric great it just needed to sit with the dye for much much longer then my previous experiments.
