No, seriously, look at Nikita. She is a gorgeous 14 years-old girl.
Lia, her Orange Majesty.
I made a new blog dedicated to my animals, with mostly cats and some doggos.
Come and meet TigrĂ©e, TachĂ©e, Simba, FĂ©lix, Bouncy, Nala, Navi, Petit Minou, Nikita, Lia, Alduin, Marzipan et Twicky ! Give them a follow ! No, seriouly, theyâre so damn cute.
Most of the time, Twicky will judge you.
Peut-ĂȘtre qu'il n'est pas conseillĂ© de faire activement partie d'un mouvement engagĂ© si tu n'es pas capable de comprendre le monde dans lequel tu vis. Surtout si tu refuses d'en voir les nuances.
Mon amoureux, à propos des réactions de certaines, quand je lui ai expliqué pourquoi je me sentais mal sur Tumblr ces derniers jours.
Teinture dâHisbiscus ! (3)
[partie 3] Voici donc les résultats de mes expérimentations de ce week-end ! Voici les bandes de tissu et les récipients/mixtures correspondants, sortis, lavés, et séchés :
Les couleurs des mĂ©langes Ă base dâeau sont assez conformes Ă ce que je mâattendais, quoique trĂšs diluĂ©e. Le mĂ©lange vert Ă virĂ© au jaune durant la nuit, alors que le vinaigre a âfixĂ©â la couleur des autres mĂ©langes. MĂȘme chose du cĂŽtĂ© des pĂątes, le mĂ©lange gris-bleu a verdi, de mĂȘme que la bande, qui est vraiment dâune couleur affreuse, dâailleurs. La transformation la plus spectaculaire est la bande trempĂ©e dans la pĂąte rose... Qui une fois sĂšche a virĂ© au bleu !
Une heure auparavant ils Ă©taient de la mĂȘme couleur. A noter aussi, depuis le sĂ©chage, la bande a Ă©tĂ© mouillĂ©e une fois et a repris un reflet rose, avant de redevenir bleue, encore un peu plus foncĂ©e. Jâai aussi fait des expĂ©riences avec des bandes de papier aquarelle :
Les couleurs sont relativement pareilles que sur les tissus, mais les substances Ă lâeau ont moins marquĂ©. On voit bien la couleur dâorigine de la pĂąte rose dâailleurs, parce quâici les papiers ne sont pas encore sec. Finalement au sĂ©chage, la bande Ă lâextrĂȘme gauche est devenue vert-moche aussi. Les couleurs Ă lâeau ne sont presque plus visibles. Par contre...
Sur papier, la pĂąte rose Ă virĂ© au turquoise dâabord, et finalement aujourdâhui Ă un vert qui tire sur le bleu. A cĂŽtĂ©, la bande bleu qui a foncĂ© aussi. Je suis assez satisfaite de ces deux couleurs je dois dire, je ne mâattendais pas Ă une rĂ©action comme celle lĂ . Maintenant il ne me reste plus quâĂ trouver un petit projet artistique ou de bricolage pour mettre tout ça en pratique ! [FIN]

Teinture dâHibiscus ! (2)
[partie #2] En plus des teintures Ă base dâeau, et parce quâen atelier jâutilise des encres Ă base dâhuile, jâai continuĂ© les expĂ©rimentations dans ce sens. Dâabord, Ă base dâhuile dâolive et de vinaigre, le tout mixĂ© ensemble avec les pĂ©tales. Le mĂ©lange devient trĂšs rose, et garde lâaspect dâune pĂąte compacte.
Le second mĂ©lange Ă©tait Ă base uniquement dâhuile dâolive et de pĂ©tales Ă la base, mais jâai ensuite filtrĂ© lâhuile pour en laisser un minimum et ajouter de lâeau. Tout simplement parce que ça ne faisait que des morceaux de pĂ©tales broyĂ©s dans de lâhuile, et que ça ne colorait rien. La couleur est un gris bleutĂ©.
En rĂ©sumĂ© : - MĂ©lange rose, vinaigre + huile dâolive (+pĂ©tales), compact. - MĂ©lange bleu-gris, pĂ©tales + (huile dâolivre filtrĂ©e) eau froide, liquide. Jâai aussi immergĂ© des bandes de tissus dans ces mĂ©langes, jusquâĂ cet aprĂšs-midi.
Les résultats bientÎt !
Teinture dâHibiscus !
[partie #1] Jâai plein de plants dâHibiscus vivaces dans mon jardin, et ils sont en pleine floraison. Bon, au dĂ©but on en avait un rose fuchsia et un qui tirait vraiment sur le bleu (blue bird, si ça parle Ă quelquâun), comme ici sur la photo (mĂȘme si elle ne rend pas justice Ă la couleur). Depuis, ils ont fait des rejets qui par un mystĂšre de la pollinisation, ont fait des fleur roses claires, mauves et blanches. Je zone pas mal sur Pinterest et Ă la base je voulais essayer dâaromatiser un de mes thĂ©s avec des fleurs sĂ©chĂ©s, mais au dĂ©tour dâun chemin je me suis demandĂ©e si je ne pouvais pas teindre des trucs avec. (#jesuisenartsplastiques)
Bref, jâai fait quelques recherches et expĂ©rimentations, ici seulement avec des feuilles sĂ©chĂ©es (oui, mĂȘme les plants roses ont des pĂ©tales qui deviennent bleus en sĂ©chant, ces pĂ©tales sont issus de trois plantes diffĂ©rentes). Dâabord, les expĂ©rimentations Ă base dâeau :
Le verre rose le plus rempli (au milieu, trĂšs pigmentĂ©) est Ă base dâeau chaude, Ă laquelle jâai ajoutĂ© les pĂ©tales avant de laisser infuser cinq minutes. Le mĂ©lange Ă©tait devenu vert, mais quand jâai ajoutĂ© du vinaigre blanc, tout est devenu rose. Jâai pris une vidĂ©o plus tard de cette rĂ©action (câest ce qui se trouve Ă ce moment lĂ dans le verre de droite, que jâai ensuite reversĂ© dans celui du milieu)
Le verre rose-violet plus clair Ă gauche est celui oĂč les pĂ©tales ont Ă©tĂ© placĂ©s dans de lâeau Ă tempĂ©rature normale. Jâai ajoutĂ© du vinaigre aussi, sans changement de couleur apparent. Il faut beaucoup plus de temps dans lâeau pour obtenir une couleur, environ 45 minutes avant de voir une diffĂ©rence.  Celui Ă droite, avec le liquide vert, ce sont les pĂ©tales uniquement infusĂ©s dans lâeau chaude. La couleur est assez forte, câest super Ă©tonnant. Il infuse assez vite, comme on le voit sur une des photos (vraiment, comme du thĂ©).
En résumé :
- Gauche, rose violacĂ©, eau froide + vinaigre (45 minutes avant couleur dĂ©finitive). - Milieu, rose trĂšs prĂ©sent, eau chaude (infusĂ©e 5 minutes) + vinaigre. - Droite, vert, eau chaude uniquement, (3 minutes avant couleur dĂ©finitive). Jâai ajoutĂ© des petites bandes de tissu blanc que je vais laisser tremper cette nuit jusque demain matin (donc, approximativement 18h). Elles ont dĂ©jĂ changĂ© de couleur depuis, câest encourageant.
