Magic Tracks I enjoy using these connected in a circle, as an ice barrier. You can stack them into 2 layers if the ice is too tall for just one layer. Rinse and reuse.

‹ list home next › Why does black split into other colors? Many black dyes are blends of other pigments. As the ice melts, the components separate, creating outlines of blue, red, or green. This is normal and often desirable.

Rinse I threw the shirt into my utility sink and sprayed it with cold water until it ran mostly clear. Then I rinsed it with hot water and then sent it through the washing machine with some normal detergent. All steps: Supplies I decided to use just one color so I could create a swatch for the color “black ice” from Dharma. My shirt is 100% cotton in size medium. Setup I used a wire basket and a cooling rack above the plastic bin so that the item would drip off excess ice and dye. Batching It took about six hours for the ice to melt. I let it sit for about 18 more hours to fully set and this is what it looks like after the ice has melted. Soda ash This shirt was pre-soaked in soda, ash water in a repurposed bucket that used to be a kitty litter container. It was only hand wrung, so it was pretty wet before folding. Application I decided to apply the dye with ice, so I piled on a bunch of ice before adding dye. The green fleece around the shirt is just meant to hold up the ice around the shirt so it gets plenty of liquid. Rinse I threw the shirt into my utility sink and sprayed it with cold water until it ran mostly clear. Then I rinsed it with hot water and then sent it through the washing machine with some normal detergent. Fold I folded the shirt up at an angle. On that fold line, started rolling the fabric really tight in the center, but I let it roll looser on each end. Incline These days it’s common for people to do an incline set up when they’re using some variation of the rolled technique. I used some mega blocks to hold the basket up at about a 30° incline. Result The final shirt turned out pretty cool. I like the way the fold turned out, as well as this die color. Next time, I would like to add some black somewhere on the shirt just for a little extra contrast. See all tutorials
