The Art Sisters are at the Palace...
The MX dyes have been sorted by color...
Resist Dyeing...
Golf Balls, Wiffle Balls, Softballs
The fabric wrapped balls are now
under ice and dye powder.
A few hours later.....ice melting
Virginia is creating 9 step gradations:
She added neutral gray to the mix...
Nancy is also creating a gradation
Here are their gradations.....hot out of the dryer!
A thrift shop find for me....pillowcases:
Sliding pleats with pillowcases...
ready for the dye!
I cut up the MX dye color swatch poster...
then tape the labels to my dye bottles.
Makes choosing dye colors so much easier!
I also folded and clamped fabrics...
This is my first tie dye piece...
looks like the head of Medusa!
Medusa is covered with ice and dye powder:
Fuchsia Red, Peacock Blue, Hydrangea
Medusa will batch overnight...
My pieces are still batching...
I will post images of my dyed fabrics
after they are processed.
Below is a video of Nancy Ice Dyeing.....enjoy!
