MEXICAN ICE DYES



We tried our hand at ice dyes last week. Rosemary and Donna were over for a dye day and I just had to show them how its done. I made a quick trip to the local farmacia for a bag of ice and we each set up our tubs with soda ashed fabric, ice and powdered dye. The results are always so fun to see!
 
Here's a close-up of one of our pieces:
 
P.S. There's nothing special about Mexican ice dyes. It was done here in Mazatlan on one of our typical warm days. I kept the tubs in the shade so they wouldn't melt too fast.
