I understand the worry about the fabric sitting in the muddy colors but there is a point where the fabric won't accept any more dye but just to be sure I put an upside down bowl in the bottom of the bucket to keep the fabric from sitting in the mud for too long! I'd love you to send photos :) Carol R.

I seem to get the same effect. Looks like I've "scrunched" it, just like with regular tie dye. Also, do you rinse it in the bucket or take it out to rinse? I'm just worried about the darker colors overtaking the lighter colors at the last minute. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468046947197742005.post-33234920223246472872013-07-24T08:22:45.505-04:002013-07-24T08:22:45.505-04:00Awesome!

I was actually looking for this ice dying bit as I got your address off facebook through another site I belong to (Sew News). Someone had seen your work & put up a post of the ice dying... I just had to come over & have a look, see..... Right now it is winter here in Australia & so things take a little longer to dry outside, but I am going to give it a go.... I'll just where thick rubber gloves & rug up a bit more. I hope you like my other comment I left here about using the confetti idea.<br />Anyway, when I do venture outside & have a go with the ice, I'll let you know how it goes.<br />Thank you SO much for the info,<br />ReginaReginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768861213129766107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468046947197742005.post-47267713147328325682013-06-30T10:32:47.091-04:002013-06-30T10:32:47.091-04:00Thanks!

The bottom of the pan had this yucky dark water and I thought "Oh that's not pretty". I was thrilled this morning when I rinsed the fabrics. <br />Cher HurneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468046947197742005.post-48407793718127133612012-02-22T15:40:48.695-05:002012-02-22T15:40:48.695-05:00I did some overdying with a blue/yellow piece that...I did some overdying with a blue/yellow piece that I wasn't crazy about. I wrapped rubber bands around some whiffle balls and dripped dye on them. I used marigold and purple - loved the results! The pictures were a little muted so I didn't upload. I used the fiber reactive dyes I had on hand. Some were from Dharma and some were from PRO Chemical. They are both good for natural fibers so give it a go with the silk! I'm going to try my luck at nuno felting with the silk!Carol R.
