Ice Dying

It's been almost a year since my last post and things are starting to get back to "normal."  I rather embraced staying home and looking after my health and creating in my studio without outside obligations. But also fun to get back out and this summer things kicked off with an in person art retreat ice dying fabric. Thanks so much to our host, Marianne!

The crews all here! Let the fun begin!

Working with caustic materials and powdered dyes 

pour ice on top of the fabric in a pan or rack for the melted ice to drip through, then sprinkle the powdered dye on top

then let all the ice melt and work it's magic

checking if it's ready

aft3er 24 hours they are ready to wash

Success, out of the washer and ready to wear!
