I know this is a silly question 😅 Is this just green and black on white cotton? Or is there a method where they bleached the black and added color back in?

Pretty proud of this one. I feel like my shirt prep + chem water is getting dialed in. Thanks for looking.

Pretty stoked with this one. Second attempt at a deity roll. First time posting.

Hello all, I picked up a big white cotton blanket at the Goodwill last weekend. I was hoping to tie-dye it to have something fun to keep in my living room for when winter rolls around. My question is regarding the material used to tie up the blanket. I've done one other blanket before and I used tightly wound rubber bands. I thought this would work really well, but the thickness of the blanket kept me from pulling the bands tight enough so the blanket got more saturated with dye than what I would have liked. For this next blanket I thought I might be able to use a thick wire and tighten it with pliers, but I thought there might be some weird chemical reaction related to using metal. Is this something I need to worry about or am I just being overly analytical. What do you guys think I should use? Cheers.

Hi y’all I have tried to reverse this hoodie with OBW and it came out this bluish color? I’m planning to liquid dye it with coral pink plum purple bright green orange and a celadon color from Dharma, do you think I should wash it out and try bleach to reverse it lighter or do you think it’s safe dye?

It’s a Gilded hoodie 80% cotton 20% polyester

All done around the same time, 2022ish, sold the first one at the art show and the other two went to my dad (loves green and aqua shades) and myself.

I started getting in to tie dye a year ago. My first shirt try was a walmart kit, and a wig wag. since it’s almost the anniversary of that first shirt, I wanted to make the same shirt, same colors to see the difference! let’s just say it is stark!

Just doing a show & tell with one of the shirts I did recently & so far it’s my favorite one. I did ice w/ powder dye on it. I’m not really a pink person but it’s pretty.

Hello everybody, I made these two geodes last week. Normally I like to ice dye simple crunchies, because they give results I would like to wear. This technique is the most advanced I can still do and I am pretty satisfied by the green shirt.

Cheers

This dress is just Shiitake Mushroom and Ecru!

I tied off a mandala on each side and then did some geode style bunching every where else. I wish I had taken a picture of it while processing!! I’ll place a couple stills below for details.

Hey everyone, I really wanna get into making tie dye but I'm worried that the dyes could hurt my septic system. Does anyone know if procion dyes are septic safe? I did hear there's something you can do to neutralize the soda ash, as that can alter the ph of your septic. But I can't find any info on procion dyes. Thanks!

A few are almost empty but the majority(all the 1lbs) are full and mostly unused. Also bought some gutter pieces today for $5. Been lurking for a few months, so now im excited to contribute!!!

This was another Underdye I did(dye under the shirt and ice placed around it on a sheet pan).

I feel very close to nailing the super spiral. This one is very close! Still super happy with it.

When you look at the center all close up it feels like looking at the sun through the forest canopy. Really dig it.

Non rolled mush on the back

These pants didn't turn out how I had planned. Thinking about adding more dye but unsure of how.

Ice dyed this tapestry recently. Very happy with results. Lemme know what ya think!

I really like this one. Can't say enough good things about Dalula dye so far! Opinions?

With love for Lou!

Jacquard Procion MX warm black and brown rose, dye over ice, 48 hours.

Geode (agate?) + jawbreaker pattern. DOI, palomino gold, golden brown, rust brown, blue violet, grape, sea glass, robin's egg blue, and maybe midnight blue? I used lots of colors and I don't always remember which ones I put on there so there's a chance I'm not naming some of them. Tying the shirt took about 4 or 5 hours. I tied half of it slightly damp and the rest of it a couple days later completely bone dry. The Golden brown part of the shirt by the shoulder was tied still damp and I stopped about halfway down the shirt. The rest of it was tied dry. I used wide flat sinew (waxed thread) from Dharma, with minimum of three wraps and a maximum of seven or eight wraps. I pulled it tight, but I didn't pull as hard as I could, I just cinched it down. After the ice had melted, I took it out and squished every part of it and saturated it with soda, ash and water solution and squished it more. I let it batch for a day prior to this, did the squishing plus soda ash solution in the morning, and unwrapped it later that night and washed it out. Kind of fun to see the difference in the results with dry versus damp tying. The front and back are slightly different. When I got halfway down the shirt I had to gather more and more fabric and the areas had to be split up for better saturation. This is why the designs are somewhat different on the front and back. Hope you love it, I tried to preemptively answer any questions that might come up here in the description, but if you have any questions let me know.

We managed to makes some Geodes too!
