and we know what that means. Below are my snow dyes as well as some burlap my wonderful neighbor gave me.
I folded the 12" X 36" strips of burlap in four folds and laid on the bottom of the wire cloth, added the soda soaked fabric, snow and dye then after the snow melted I nuked for 6 minutes on high. Nice, Huh? Total serendipity.

You are coming up with things I have never seen. Impressive!
ReplyDeleteLove your snow dyes -- the burlap is inspired!
ReplyDeleteI thought, Why not? The dye covered the white fabric first and the burlap was dyed by the run off! The best thing is that I can "pull a thread" and couch them down for textures.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the burlap. These are really great.
ReplyDeleteYour colours are lovely. What is giving the beautiful blue? And the burlap is very special. I think I'll throw on a little cheesecloth next time!
ReplyDeleteYou have an inspiring blog. I love your snow dyes and the burlap!
ReplyDeleteI use a number of blues. In MX (ProCemical), I use intense blue, deep navy and indigo. I also use deep black which really splits out to purple especially on ice/snow. I think I also have magic water because I seem to be the only one of my friends who gets these INTENSE colors. This Saturday playdate we will snow dye with my water (fossil water from a deep municipal well put through a $300. water filter.) I also nuke 10 minutes on half power making sure there is still a thin covering of icy snow. I use a pyrex pie dish covered in cling film with about 5 knife punctures to allow steam to escape. If there is not enough liquid, you can set your fabric on fire - ask me how I know.
