This week I've been experimenting with Ice Dyed Mandalas
again, fearing I'd forget what I learned at Cindy Lohbeck's class at the
Original Sewing and Quilt Expo. I had some scrap fabrics of unknown fiber
content, so I tied them up and went to work! Forgot to take pictures of the
process, but basically it's tie, soak, then place in a tray, cover with ice,
and pour dye on top.
This is what the ice looks like with the dye on it....so
pretty in itself!
Here are the results:
The two fabrics above are a gauzy-weave. I assume they were not 100% cotton, as the colors are lighter than the others. But they're still nice!
I just love how each one is totally different, and beautiful!
Fascinating process and results...
I'm hooked on tie-dye mandalas!
