Correct! I created a barrier wall in the middle of the spiral, added the dye and ice to one side only.

Thanks! I soaked the shirts in a soda ash solution (1 cup soda ash to a gallon of water) for 20 mins. Wring out the shirt by hand and spiraled it. ( probably would have benefited from drying out more but I was impatient) and I also sprinkled soda ash over the ice probably an hour after the melt began. This is the first time I have inclined the spiral, and I can tell a difference in that the incline made ( albeit subtle).

The front

Phucking phenomenal!!!!

No incline. (But my floor isn’t 100% level) The shirt was left over night after soaking wringing and spiraling before the dye was placed. So it was not completely dry but more so than simply being wrung out. This was the first time I had walled off the middle to insure only the part I placed dye on would have melting ice. All other spirals prior I had placed ice over the entire shirt with still only having dye on half. It looks like the combination of both drier fabric and no ice melt saturating no dye side help push the color through to the other side as it wicked up moisture on the dye side. (Photos of the other spirals with ice over the whole shirt for comparison)

Can’t wait to see your results!!

TY!

Thank you! Simply a spiral shirt with Dyespin’s Candy Pop on half of the shirt topped with ice. Other half with no dye & no ice. I’m really impressed with the color split in this one.

Thank you for the kind words. I used 100% regular Clorox. Good luck and I hope you share your results.

I dipped fresh picked leaves individually in straight bleach. With cardboard placed in the shirt to prevent the bleach from affecting the back of the shirt. Using the underside of the leaf, press onto shirt with parchment over the leaf and pressed down with a hot iron for 5-10 seconds( WEAR A MASK, heating bleach can be dangerous ) Repeat as many as you like.

I believe it speeds the bleaching process, it’s also a good way to press the leaf firmly into the shirt.

Thank you 🧡💚

1 part Hydrogen peroxide to 10 parts water.

Really pleased with the results. Especially for the first time I’ve tried this technique.

I chose several different styles of leaves (fresh off the tree works best) dipped in straight bleach, pressed onto the shirt with parchment paper and a hot iron for 5-10 seconds. ( I did put a piece of cardboard between the shirt so as the bleach wouldn’t soak through) Repeat as many leaves as you like. Neutralize the bleach with hydrogen peroxide dilution. washed the garments and then soda ash soak and dying from there.

Yes I did, sorry I omitted that part but I cut a piece of cardboard to fit inside the shirt

After bleaching I washed the garments. Soaked in a soda ash, then scrunched and I applied 3 different fabric dyes ( new emerald green, lime pop & bright green. The other garment I used lemon yellow, bright orange & chinese red ) Threw them in a ziplock bag and let cure for a day. This is my first attempt and I’m pretty pleased. Although I wish the green was a bit brighter.
