Experiments in ice dyeing

Laura and I are continuing to have a little fun around here. Today is my last day with her for the next 10 days so we are going to do a little shopping and such around town today. Then I'll try to catch up on "work" before she comes back and we leave on a little trip week after next. 

Today's post shares some dyeing from last week. I ice dyed last week and have a lot of fabrics to iron, photograph and list but I also experimented with a few other things.

I continued to chip away at my family Hatteras beach towels for next summer. I've never ice dyed one but I'm really pleased with it and will do more. What I have discovered is that turquoise is a total waste of dye for ice dyeing. It really needs heat to set so I won't use it in my ice dyeing again.

I am absolutely doing more ice dyed clothing. I expect that Laura and I will do a bunch when she gets back from her Nashville trip. The one on the right is mine. The other is for the husband of a friend.

These are tea towels from Dharma Trading. They are a little pale because of where they were located in their bins. I love the effect and I think these might be my Christmas gifts for this year.

Today we are off for a little shopping at Costco and the craft store. I have finally started to think about my Christmas postcards designs for this year and need a few supplies. I need to get started on them soon.
