What a lovely result, how beautiful were these fabrics, would never ever have thought of that.
Problem, donīt get snow where I am, can you send me a bucket next time it snows please, he he got plenty of sand wonder how that would work.
Have seen it done with pebbles tied in fabric, anyone tried that ?

Will look for some dyes tomorrow and try this one out. I loved the result with the snow.

butterflyspain, i would try it. i think the success depends on the medium and i think sand would spread it out enough. you would probably have to use more dye and wait longer. what do you think? i would start with cheap dye, like rit, made stronger.
patrice, you could probably use shaved ice. maybe?
