What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing!
|
I really like it....much better than tie dyeing as the patterns are more random. Most of us have had our share of snow this year...look what we could have been doing. :wink:
You find some real interesting sites, Sondray...keep posting. |
Wish it snowed here!! I could have a blast doing that!
|
Oh...thats neat!
When I saw the title to your thread...I thought...so you let your dog out and you had to teach it? :roll: |
What a great idea!! Thanks
|
great idea or batik look-alikes
|
Those look really "cool". No snow here either to try that one out.
|
i wonder how that would work on yardage.
|
Does anyone know what soda ash water is? And where to get it? I'd love to try this.
|
look up washing soda or sodium carbonate in wickepedia. i think my mom used washing soda but what proportion?

http://www.dharmatrading.com/ They have all sorts of fun products for dye and fabric painting. |
if i order dyes and fixes from dharma, which i have just looked into
(thanks) will it come with very specific instructions on the amount needed, etc. i have never dyed my own before but live in a snowy (sometimes) area, and this looks easy. |
I am the one who did the snow dyed fabric and posted it on my blog.
Here are some answers to your questions: I buy all of my dye, soda ash, synthrapol and other supplies from Dharma. Make sure you read all of their instructions before you ever order anything. I use the directions for tub dyeing fabric, which can be found here: http://www.dharmatrading.com/tub_dye/ You can easily do yardage this way. The pieces I dyed were approx 24"x108". I used plastic storage containers. You can do smaller pieces of fabric in margarine tubs or some other plastic container. If you dont have snow, try crushed ice. I dont have an ice maker, or I would have already tried that method. Feel free to ask more questions if something isnt clear. I am not an expert at dyeing fabric, just enjoy playing. Gayle |
so I missed this what is snow dying? How is it done, thanks

go back to the beginning of this thread and see the tutorial.
