I just love ice-dyeing

I spent a happy morning ice-dyeing some fabric to sell at the Tin Hut Textiles exhibition now on in Bury St Edmunds (4th - 9th October 2014)

I got some OK pieces but also 2 glorious confections of ripples and swirls in gorgeous reds and pinks. Here is a glimpse of the results below. These pieces of dyed cotton poplin cloth are on sale at the exhibition.

Off to make more ice-cubes............................

PS I teach this technique as part of my 'Crazy About Colour' dyeing workshop. Next one will be held at The Cosy Cabin in Risby on Sunday 9th November  www.thecosycabin.co.uk
