I don't know if you've seen or heard of snow-dyed fabric. It's gorgeous, but you need, um, SNOW to make it. Well, we don't get much of that here in North Carolina and I was getting jealous. So ... I put the fabric in my kitchen sink and used ice instead, and look what happened! I love it. I can't wait to make more. This might actually help me keep my sink clean! I call it Freeze Dyed Fabric - Southern Style!
This is a closeup of a particularly lovely area. There is too much raspberry in this piece, so I've still got some experiementing and learning to do (oh, darn!).This just in! Here's the blue/green one I made today. I'm likin' it!

wow, this looks promising! I've heard of the snow dying, but didn't pay much attention cuz I live in CA. Did you throw ice cubes into the dye bath?
OH... Yummy fabric! You'll have to tell sometime how you did it.
Beautiful results! Inquiring minds want to know how to do this!
OMG these are GORGEOUS!!!!! Though we get snow here in Calgary, i think i'll try your method--then i don't have to go outside in our currently -21C weather :}
These are great. Love the raspberry one.
LOVE them both, lady!!!
Your fabric is beautiful! Mine look like that in the summer even! I had never heard of snow dyeing though. It would be an interesting concept.

Love the colors you are getting with the ice!
