Work in Progress Wednesday
I have played around with some snow dyeing. So glad I thought to do it when we had snow because thinking about doing it in the summer doesn't work. I have had mixed results. I used too much snow and not enough dye in the first batch. I got rather pale results which aren't a total loss. The second batch I used less snow and more dye. Maybe a bit too much dye. The silk in the top left corner really soaked it up. So it is a bit dark but again still will be useable. The third batch I think I got right. It is the large piece in the background.
None of these has been ironed so they are quite wrinkly. There isn't much point in ironing them until I am ready to use them. I have no plans for them at the moment. The round doilies will likely be turned into mandalas. I know, shocker!
That background piece is really pretty! I've never tried snow dying, but it sounds interesting. What kind of dye do you use?
