A few more recent pieces. I really love how these turned out. Each uses a different technique. The t-shirt is rolled & the blouse is geode tied. Both are available if you can’t live without them.

took everything I learned from dyeing martin's sweatshirt and did some of my old shirts too! leaving them outside for 36 hours in the hot hot heat helped a lot I think.

this was raven black, thundercloud, imperial purple and wasabi from dharma. martin looks great in it but he is camera shy so clem is modeling today, looking fabulous as usual. ✌️
A dress I sewed years ago and wore often - which tragically got a coffee stain on the light blue front! Stain removers failed and it sat unworn until I got the chance to dye over the top! I tied off the waistband & skirt in a plastic bag, and tried to match the ice dye colors to the skirt as best I could. Happy with how it turned out! Secret: there's little elephants printed on the skirt if you look close enough!

An ocean inspired dress I sewed out of commercially dyed navy & white tie dye fabric, then overdyed with greens and blues after a couple years of wear. So great to give older pieces new life!

I hope you’re ready for my third pillowcase. Made with fabric I ice-dyed and have just had sitting around for a while because I didn’t know what to do with it. #icedye #sewist #idyeatmidnight #pillowcase #handmade
This could be fun. I might get to show y’all the difference that different cuts of ice can make! Last batch I used ice shaped more like cubes. This time it’s the cylindrical kind with little hollows on the ends. Sometimes that makes a difference in the pattern the dye makes as it settles into the fabric. Hopefully I’ll give you something interesting to look at.

Got some things soaking in soda ash solution, getting ready for another round of dyeing. My hand and arm are almost-but-not-quite healed from last week’s blood draw, so it might still be a challenge. Buuuut I also need something to distract myself from fixating on knowing my doctor has the results and I won’t see them until Wednesday. So, good ol’ Distraction Art it is!

Last one for the day! This scarf was done only in black dye. Any colors seen here either hitched a ride from someone else’s ice, or separated on their own. I really love this one, I think it’s going to my sister-in-law for Christmas.
