I do a fair amount of ice dyeing (and have my own "dedicated" margarita machine to grind the ice - you should have seen our accountant roll his eyes with that expense!). I never thought of doing shibori folding, and am amazed at the depth of color through so many layers. I use old photo processing trays, and the soft polyester screening, cut in sizes about 4 " larger all around than the tray; I use bulldog clips to anchor the screening across the tray - it is about as taut as I can get it. That way, I can do 2 layers, one sitting in the bottom of the tray, and the main one on the screen. Sometimes, I even do different color way (but harmonious), so when the top layer drips down, I don't get mud in the layers. And Scrooge that I am, I often save the runoff in the tray that has the soda ash in it, and use it again for acid dyeing on silk - works pretty well! Oh, and I made little dye powder "shakers" from plastic film canisters, and melted holes in the tops; I also put a few grains of dried rice in each canister to help keep the powders from clumping.carylhanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868029009994706120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-1142294681748258562015-09-09T17:39:50.297-04:002015-09-09T17:39:50.297-04:00They are soda soaked and wet.

I have tried a 10% solution and that worked pretty well. 5% would give you pretty light colors. I now use a cloth underneath all the pieces that I am dyeing so that I get no marks from the grid they are sitting on. Those "drop" cloths have turned out beautifully. Even used one of my all cotton nightgowns as a drop cloth and it is now very brightly colored!!

So many questions but your results are gorgeous. 😊Dianne Koppisch Hrickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826689893352648986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-34569239304493637902013-08-25T10:24:37.808-04:002013-08-25T10:24:37.808-04:00Gorgeous results!Gorgeous results!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539482902778710488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916682346234515921.post-58174228724555510932013-08-21T17:15:02.250-04:002013-08-21T17:15:02.250-04:00Wow!
