Excellent video! Also, thank you for not adding a bunch of music on top. Simple is best, your video is clear and just hearing the birds outside it's much nicer :) This video is quite relaxing!
I'm ending my research with this video. Wish I would have watched yours first, it would have saved me some time. Now I know what I need to know. Thank You! I'm about to make some super cool socks and some onsies for my baby boy
Interesting results and quite pretty. I so understand the waiting period anticipation. The reveal is the best part, eh? I am forcing myself to go 48 hours now which is a big lesson in patience.
Can you tell me the name of the fabric that you dyed? It is awesome! Also, thank you so much for this tutorial. I can’t wait to get started. My dyes are arriving on Friday.
Dear, I have a question. If I first treat the silk with soda Ash, and afterwards want to do some ecoprinting, can I treat ( the same silk) with alum? Do you have any experience?
I have a few questions ! Where do you get your scarfs or material? And the Halloween one that was really cool! Was the images printed on there and it dyed around it? I love This!!!
heh. step 0: put hair up so you don't accidentally dye it. anyway, what would you recommend to dye silk? it's not plant-based, but it's not synthetic either...
I’m not sure what kind of tie dye powder you’re using but I recently found out that most powders are made with mica and in India and Madagascar they use child slavery to mine it and that’s the world’s majority of mica mining (mica also is in electronics, body paint/glitter, and makeup and other cosmetics)
The ice causes a different distribution of the water and the dye than using liquid colors and that ultimately makes the two methods look different. Putting the dye under the ice vs over the ice actually creates differences as well. There are some good videos comparing the methods if you search something like ice dye vs liquid dye. Keep in mind that ice dying does require more dye powder than dying with liquid dye does so some kits won't contain enough to do it properly.
Rit isn't as colorfast and really isn't meant for doing this kind of project. Rit dyes are more for when you want to dye something the same color all over.
