Great tut butterfly. I will try that this winter if we get enough snow. The fabrics are beautiful. What fun.

What a lovely result, how beautiful were these fabrics, would never ever have thought of that.

Problem, donīt get snow where I am, can you send me a bucket next time it snows please, he he got plenty of sand wonder how that would work.

Have seen it done with pebbles tied in fabric, anyone tried that ?

butterflyspain, i would try it. i think the success depends on the medium and i think sand would spread it out enough. you would probably have to use more dye and wait longer. what do you think? i would start with cheap dye, like rit, made stronger.

patrice, you could probably use shaved ice. maybe?

I am going to try both methods and post a pic for you all to see the results, This could be a disaster or very interesting. :D
