more snow dyeing

Here are two more pieces that I have done. The turqoise colored one is Jacquard silk dyes, and the brown/rust one is reed dye!

more snow dye fun

On the first one I used Dharma blue pigment and some brown. It reminds me of 'jack frost' on the windows in the winter.
The second one was done with apricot and turquoise silk dyes.

Such fun.

Snow Dye

We have lot's of snow so decided to try Beth's method for snow dyeing. Here is her tutorial:

I can probably tell you what not to do after my first try, don't take it out of the snow bath too soon.  I was over anxious and took it out way too soon, that is why there is little color.
I'm pleased with my first results, they will make nice backgrounds for wallhangings. However I am really looking forward to the next batch.
I've got two more on the go and will leave them long enough to become saturated with color. And I used Dharma pigments...just using what I have on hand :)
Thanks for the inspiration Beth.
I think the first one looks like a jelly fish with a huge clam shell in the corner, and I can see some trees in the second one. What do you see? Let me know. Thanks for taking a look.
A friend  just drew my attention to the face on the left hand corner of the first piece!
