ReplyDeleteHi Alie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words! For some reason I wasn't paying attention to what colors I used for this ice dying session... I typically write it down but I must have been distracted! I hope you give ice dying a try - it's great fun!

Hello! I've referenced your blog so many times in the past few days, i've lost count! I love the discharge textile above. Could you share what you used to discharge the dye, and how long you left it on? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHow fun - thanks so much for referencing the blog and I'm delighted it's enticed you to try some techniques! Having support from each other is the best way to stretch and grow as artists!
DeleteI can't exactly remember if I used a spray bottle filled with a mixture of 50/50 bleach/water to create the circles. Once I decided the fabric had bleached enough I immersed the fabric in a bath of "Bleach-Stop" which contains sodium thiosulfate crystals. I purchased it at Dharma Trading Co. The Bleach-Stop keeps the bleach from continuing to remove the color.
Whenever using bleach you should really be in a well ventilated area... it's very stinky - in a bad way! I'd love to see your results... send pics :)
