Grab a favorite nature photograph and use it to inspire beautiful ice dyed fabric. This video details the creative process I use to choose and apply different colors of powdered dye to a layer of ice cubes that’s covering 100% cotton fabric. As the ice melts, the powder turns to liquid, and tendrils of color melt into the fabric. The end results are always surprising, and often suggest organic shapes and images.
These one-of-a-kind creations can be framed as is, or used as foundations for whole cloth quilting projects. The technique can be used to create striking designs on clothing or scarves, too!

- Soda ash (Sodium Carbonate) (this is not baking soda)

In this video, I put mat board scraps underneath my fabric project and dye those at the same time. My artist friend Amy Bryce gave me her mat scraps to use, which was awfully sweet. She creates amazing watercolor paintings, which you should definitely check out here:
