Thinking about trying this with all-natural dye (made from fruits/veggies/spices). A tutorial I found for making dye mentioned using a "mordant". Is that what the soda ash is in this tutorial? They listed some examples but soda ash wasn't on there so I wanted to check. Tia!
@cocoboba You can buy it on Amazon, but you can actually make your own soda ash. 🙂
Homemade soda ash: 1. Pour baking soda into a cookie sheet. Spread it out to form a layer. 2. Bake the soda at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The time isn’t critical. You can’t ‘overcook’ the soda, but you want to be sure to drive off all the water. You should also stir it up occasionally, just so that it bakes more evenly. 3. Remove the pan from heat, allow it to cool, and store it in a sealed container to keep it from picking up moisture from the air.
