Monday Project - Tie Dye Meets Ice Dye!

And this is why I love working with teenagers!  Big C, my niece, was over last week ice dyeing and had a question - "What would happen if I did tie dye folds and then put the ice and dye over it?"  Oooh - let's see!  So she made a spiral and set it in the bottom of the pan - very easy, as she didn't even rubber band or tie it in place.  Here are her beautiful results!


I tried one with the traditional tie dye colors of fuschia, turquoise, and lemon yellow and came up with this:


I think the darker colors Big C used made a more dramatic, good looking spiral!  I'll be trying some other tie dye folds and let you know what happens.

Happy Creating!  Deborah

  1. Fantastic!! They look like those pretty, swirly fossils (the name escapes me), and the colours are spectacular.

    1. Ammonites - I've always loved them! They looked so familiar to me, but I just couldn't place them. Thanks!
