The invention discloses a method for
willow artwork
dyeing through a natural
indigo pigment. The method comprises the following aspects that (1)
indigo extraction is conducted, specifically, a
plant raw material is subjected to crushing,
fermentation,
water soluble extraction and low-temperature
drying, and the
indigo pigment is prepared; (2) acid-alkali
steeping is conducted, specifically, a hydrochlric solution with the concentration being 0.3-0.4% and a
sodium hydroxide solution with the concentration being 0.25-0.3% are used to steep a
willow artwork correspondingly; (3) cooking for
impurity removal is conducted, specifically, impurities in the
willow artwork is removed through cooking; (4)
steaming for
dyeing is conducted, specifically, the indigo
pigment with the
mass being 11-13% that of
distillation boiler water is added, and steam
dyeing is conducted; (5) low-temperature
drying is conducted, specifically, the dyed willow artwork is dried; (6)
infrared color fixing is conducted, specifically, the willow artwork is wrapped through mixed
slurry and placed under
infrared lamplight with the illumination intensity being 470-520
lux for color fixing; (7)
ultraviolet inspection is conducted, specifically, the willow artwork subjected to color fixing is placed under an
ultraviolet lamp, and the color fixing condition is inspected; and (8) tung oil layer
coating is conducted, specifically, the willow artwork qualified after inspection is coated with tung oil, and after
drying, the willow artwork with the natural indigo pigment is prepared.
