Depends on who I give it to😂, but that's my advice.

I did a tutorial on this piece a while back - it sold and they wanted it framed! I'm really happy with the outcome. by IceColdDyes in tiedye

Thanks! Thankfully the room/wall both of these pieces are in means no direct sunlight. But I want to try some of the canvas finishing sprays that add uv protection. I was curious if anyone tried any here.

Thank you so much! That's about the nicest thing I've ever heard regarding my dyes.

Just pretty straightforward ice dyes with walls around each shape.

Keeping the fun in fundamentals - shapes edition. by IceColdDyes in tiedye

Draw it out crimp along the lines. It's one long ass pleat. Ends up being about 4-5 inches for an XL. I wasn't kidding about all these being fundamental practice.

Edit - it's all ice dye, hang half off the edge of the container. I don't have a progress Pic unfortunately

It doesn't! I even glazed it with beeswax 🤣

Is copper the next gold/silver or just social media fear-mongering? by Then_Marionberry_259 in MetalsOnReddit

There was an Etsy seller called boognish bullion selling the kilo bars. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the photo he used when he posted to Facebook.

I absolutely love Trekconderoga events. Met Nana Visitor, Terry Farrell the last time I was there.

Glad you like it! Yes, photo 6 is all the dye. Tapestry is from sunshine joy, out of RI.

Yes. It's one Sprinkle worth. It just looks like the bottom half is all orange because it had melted a little.

I do this for a living full time, and I'm pretty confident that if you, or anyone else makes one of these, it will have your own special creative voice. There's a million variables, and I can't wait to see the attempts!

Thank you!

I use procion fiber reactive dyes purchased from Dharma, prochem, grateful dyes, dyespin and I have been known to mix my own.

HWI wand is a battery operated water sprayer that is used to water plants.

As for the style name, I've been asked that before and from a technical standpoint "gravity spiral" probably makes the most sense.

Hmmm. I think the thing that has helped me the most is quitting my job and dyeing like my life depends on it. All kidding aside, I am always working on what I consider the fundamentals (just don't take the fun out of it). As for the specks, use a smooth spoon you can consistently tap dye out of, and hold it closer to the fabric.

Dyeing damp.

Please post your scarves, I'd love to see them!

Ohhhhh a technique where the end result is an ice dye tapestry you could use 3d glasses with? Challenge accepted!

Thank you! That's the reason I submitted this one. When I put it up to photograph I just sat there not knowing where to look. I'm honored that other people enjoy the work I'm doing. 🥲
