Ice Dyeing Addiction
Part 2-The results
 |
| The Beauties! |
The exciting part of dyeing happens when the final iron out is complete and the actual results emerge. The ice melting and color combinations, exciting as they are, are not what they seem. I've been trying to think of what I could compare my excitement with. What comes to mind is the planting of a mixed pack of seedlings. You watch them sprout, grow up and then finally the bloom...the awe! This is what it sort-of feels like to me to see these pieces of white fabric emerge into these beauties!
The large pieces are generous 1 yard cuts. I put thread into each of the melting pots of ice so they picked up the extra dye in hopes they'd match the fabric. I can certainly see the possibilities for each of these pieces. Enjoy them!
I know this will not be the last time I do this!
