I'm not complaining too loudly. I've been wanting to try snow dyeing all winter, and there hasn't been any decent snowfall. Just what a friend calls winter dust. Now I have pretreated fabric sitting on a rack in the backyard while mother nature covers it up with a nice even blanket of snow. Then I'll bring it inside, sprinkle dye powder on it, and let the snow melt. Wash the fabric and then see what I got.

I have never heard of snow dyeing....I think I would like to see the results of this. However I am willing to wait until next winter to give it a try....mother nature.

Still snowing at my house right now and I am so over it. Although it makes for a great quilting day.

Happy Birthday to Jarnie and bjsmith, hope your days are special.

Just checked the old thread (2017/2018) and saw that jarenie posted who she received from on that one. Glad she's okay, I was starting to wonder!

Faintly Artistic, thanks for sharing your discovery-- I didn't think to look there at that thread. I was wondering about what happened too! It sounds like she was having a great trip away from home. What a treat! :-) It was nice to see her post with a list of who she received candies from. :-)

So far, some of it is gorgeous and some of it is meh. The meh will go back in the dye vats. Will try to post pictures when it's been dried and pressed.

I have never heard of snow dyeing either. Hope you send some pictures. We don't have much snow here but just a few miles north of me there was plenty of snow. I think it is all melted now but there is next year.

Ice Leopard, how do you make it colorfast? And what type of dye do you buy?
