The nature and chromogenic plants

Abstract

Dependency of human being to the nature has always been inevitable. The spoken relationship is not limited to the basic needs of human such as food and water, but also might be related to the artistic aspects of his life. The present study is aimed to explain the process of natural dyeing using combination of Anemone and some other natural pigments. Numerous plant and forest fruits including: Hibiscus tea (Chinese Rose), Barberry, Sumac, Saffron flower, Hawthorn and Cochineal were used as the main materials of this study. Sulfated compounds such as Ammonium Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, and Ferric Sulfate were used as the supplementary materials in the dyeing process. The Safflower comes in a range of colours from yellow to orange and establishes supplement colours (including yellow-red and green). Sumac established a range of red colour from crimson red to the most bright red and scarlet red. Similar to the Sumac, Hibiscus tea was the other plant producing a range of colours from light red to pink. Hibiscus insect in solution produces violet colour, while it establishes different kinds of violet and pink-violet combined with Anemone. Anemone can be applied as one of the most important components of natural dyeing in today’s world, combined with the other natural pigments. The present study introduces chromogenic characteristics of Anemones and developed of red tonalities. However, environmental issues must be taken into account by the researchers, while working on the similar dyeing processes.
