More Snow Dyeing

These are pictures of the snow-dyes from the other day. I left the box o' boxes in the garage overnight and when I went out there the next morning, they were frozen solid (duh). There was no dye wicking, no color anywhere except in the snow on top of the fabric. So I brought the whole box o' boxes in and set it in the corner of the family room on top of a heater vent next to the lemon tree. This morning, after I did the family laundry, I washed them out.I love the greens and purples in this one. The brown is pretty interesting too. It has a kind of kaleidoscope thing going on. This one is my favorite.

This was grape, scarlet and golden yellow.

Mostly scarlet and lemon and golden yellow.

I love hand-dyed stripes. This doesn't have a lot of the crystalline effects from the snow, but it's still pretty cool. The turquoise is really vibrant here. I didn't get much green from the yellow and blue mixing -- because they were frozen?

These two were accordion folded before the dyes were poured on and don't look any different from any other lwi hand dyes. I like the mirror effects I get from the folding.

I didn't have any trouble with the turquoise, but I think that was probably because they batched on top of a heater vent. The temperature was nice and warm there last night. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised with all of these -- They didn't look like much before they dried and I was expecting to be disappointed.
