We got down and messy recently doing some dyeing using Ice. We had ordered some pre treated material which meant we didn't have to soak it in soda ash or add any salt after. Although there was a fair bit of debate about this and we learned that we should do some preparation by taking the instructions with us.
We had to wet it first then put a layer in a long deep container (such as a bucket or a vase) and then add some ice and then some dye, then layer it up, material, ice, dye etc until we ran out of material. It has a lovely delicate effect when dried.
Catherine was trying scrunching the material up before adding the dye.
Valerie was painting directly onto her material and using stencils of stars to get a night sky effect.
