Ice Dye + Batik = Happy Fabric!
I've mentioned in previous posts that I have a basket where all my "unhappy" fabrics go. When I create a fabric that I'm not thrilled with I toss it into the basket to be reworked at another time. To me fabric is never unusable... just "unhappy" in it's current state! I recently pulled out some unhappy fabrics and using the batik technique I got some of them to a happy place... others went back into the basket... again!

I love how this one turned out!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Carol! Now the fabric glows!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, do you think I could apply Batik wax then use the ice dye method ? Do you think the the ice will effect the wax ? it seems I want to do this in a different order than you have stated above. Thanking you :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah - what an interesting idea! I don't think the ice would have a negative impact with the wax. The ice dyes produce a water-color effect so whatever negative space the wax creates would need to be a strong contrast with the ice dyed colors. Otherwise the negative space might not be as sharp. I would LOVE to see and hear about your results!
DeleteCheers,
Carol
