Snow Dyeing

A pre washed piece of muslin.

Those of us who have multitude amounts of snow find a way to infuse the snow into an artsy activity.  Snow dyeing has been a conversation of late.  I needed to try that, don't you know??  It is fairly easy.  Just take some fabric, soak it in soda water (something I learned after the fact, lol) place the fabric in something that holds water, cover it with snow,  how ever much snow is up to you really, then sprinkle dyes onto the snow and let it melt.  Dry, then wash, then run to the sewing area and do something fabulous with the pieces!  I still have problems getting photos up in order... but my heart is in the right place, lol.

Some previously mixed dyes.

Trays layered with the fabric on bottom, snow on top, dyes dribbled onto the snow.

NO, no, no, this is not trays from the butcher shop!  It is the fabric after the snow has melted.

Hanging up to dry.  And yes, the garage does need a cleaning.  Soon I hope! And then the finished dyed pieces.  Oh, yeah, I will be using these in some sort of fiber creation.  Have you visted Laura Cater-Woods sites?  She does some fabulous free motion wall hangings and such.  You can see some of her creations if you scroll down on the right to find her link.  (I hope the link works!) And I did get the photo's up in order, so I gave myself a star on my forehead!
