Flowy Ice Dye Tutorial

[@Plainsrider53]

You’re a thinker, me likely! Magic tracks, the kids racing track, genius! I’m a fan….

[@EclecticEdith]

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I love the randomness of "tie-dye" but I also love this sharing community. What a great combination!

[@Blackburnerable]

From the few gravity dyes I've done, I've noticed that diagonal dye placement makes really interesting splits and flows

[@corkylorenz]

I’m glad you mentioning that! I do think diagonal has potential here 🤩

[@CarolynMcPherson-r3z]

Wow! It's really kind of you to share your techniques with us. Can't wait to try them!

[@corkylorenz]

I hope you have a lot of fun with the ideas!

[@oolonggone]

Heres a thought...what if the under fabric you use is a vinyl table cloth? You know the kind with a flannel backing. Non absorbent so you get more flow, stiff enough to hold a shape. Might give more details in the "valleys" . Thanks for all the effort you put in to make a great video!

[@dinamonster00]

I love this!! This method is new to me and I want to run out and get a a set of white bed sheets and dye them this way!! I love the flowy effect

[@marthalove3784]

I really like this technique… I’m going to go look through my old blankets and see if I have something I can use!

[@corkylorenz]

I hope you have fun with it! 😁

[@TariHuffaker]

Thanks for this video. I think these are already amazing. Your experimenting sure has paid off.

[@StrawberryStrout]

I love you for this, your content is so appreciated

[@corkylorenz]

Heyyy, thank you so much!! 🥰

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Beautiful!! Everyone is talking about Corky”s blanket method. Good idea! ♥🌈

[@SageRap]

You have such a chill, relaxing/comforting demeanor. Really enjoyed the vid, very informative, keep up the good work!

[@Chris-o2h]

Thank you for such great detail. You are right, seeing is understanding a lot more. I was NOT getting the tall deep scrunches concept at all! I learned a lot.

[@corkylorenz]

Awesome! I’m glad to know that seeing it was helpful. Sometimes it feels weird to demo was I know because I forget what it’s like to not be familiar with it. I hope you have fun with it!

[@robinishmael7980]

Corky, thank you so much for making the tutorial and demonstrating how you made the original t-shirt mentioned in the video. I have loved that shirt from the moment I first saw it. I tried (unsuccessfully) to recreate it. I knew that is impossible from experience, but one can try. Still love that shirt and will try again! 😊 Thanks for the great video! The fleece idea was genius!

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Interesting experiment. I'm exploring the incline flowy styles.

[@Bernardyoungcollection]

You are a true scientist. Love your videos. God bless always. ❤

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you so much for the kind comment 😊

[@Healing_Forward]

I ball up aluminum foil and use it under my project! Great vid.

[@Peaceflag47]

Both look beautiful!

[@timdavis3249]

Beautiful shirts! I love the video absolutely loved it! I can't wait for your next long video I love them. You are so good at explaining all of the technique. Thank you so much!

[@corkylorenz]

I really appreciate your comment!! Thank you for watching and letting me know it was helpful!

[@Trippy_Space_Bunny]

Love the outcome I'd remove Amber waves only because I'm not a fan of yellow and orange but this is so freaking cool. I want to try it someday.

[@Jessicazlee24]

That is so awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you!! I appreciate the love

Corkyyyyy! I have no-pressure missed you!

You are so sweet and perceptive to phrase it that way. It’s like you know my demand avoidance will kick in with pressure.😅😅 I always appreciate seeing your comments and thoughts! ❤️

@@corkylorenz I hang out in enough ND communities to know that it's no bueno to say some things 😅 I am going through it with my daughter's demand avoidance, for sure. 😬

Watching your mind work is amazing! I appreciate the experimentation you share. You've saved me so much time! You are the bomb, girl!

[@cathysuitor6956]

Thank you!!! I could not figure out what I was doing wrong with the TDS. I love the flow effects, but I wasn’t getting what I wanted. I watched your tutorial and tried the fleece. OMG! It works great! Thank you for sharing your experience. You rock! Thank you!

[@susanpolley1709]

They are both AMAZING! I prefer the ice dye method over the other methods.

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@DaydreamColorz]

🥰TYSM for taking the time to make and share your tips!!! You are giving me confidence to try a flowy T again!!! 🩷🌈

[@debbiewolfe8084]

WOW! What a GEM! THANK YOU!

[@pj3132]

Thanks for this! I do the TDS w wiffle balls but I love the idea of things being stable and staying where I want this.

[@robinmanoogian8712]

Did you presoak the shirt and fleece where are pre soak guidelines

[@apwhoa7767]

Gusss I would have to see a side by side of horizontal vs. Vertical…. But they look GREAT!!

[@karadevlin1512]

Thanks for your great advice. I look forward to more of your videos 🎉

[@viviandibrell849]

I think these are beautiful! I have ordered some rayon fabric, which I will cut into garments after I ice dye it. I didn’t know this technique as I have only done swatches and rope because I use it for my rope bowls.

[@DyeDIY]

Fantastic idea with the fleece, thanks for sharing!

[@corkylorenz]

Have you had a chance to try it out??

[@DyeDIY]

@@corkylorenz unfortunately not, I got as far as putting the shirts in soda ash and haven't made it any further yet!

[@useniagill7519]

They look beautiful❤

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you!!

[@xobriquet]

Corky, finally flowy ice dye demystified! If possible, could you post a link for those coated wire baskets? I’ve been looking for ages and those are absolutely perfect. And also a link to the ice maker you use? Thank you so much!

[@jomama5186]

Beautiful

[@Pasos4me]

Beautiful technique and thanks for sharing ❤ I’ve been trying to achieve this flowy technique for quite a while, getting closer but “not quite there”. I think this will help. On the fleece that you use, do you dampen it first before placing it under the shirt or does it matter? Do you turn the t shirt inside out? Thank you in advance for your reply 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

[@freefallin4693]

Love you girlie❤️ thank you🤗 New subscriber 🙂👍🏽

[@corkylorenz]

thank you for being here!

[@karencleaver6062]

Love your video. Could use styrophom to elevate areas of cloth😊

[@corkylorenz]

That sounds like a great idea! And it would float 🧐

[@chubnyancat1340]

love the one youre wearing too

[@corkylorenz]

Thank you!! That one was a cold mist shirt.

[@arismith185]

This is so good!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@robertawearmouth2273]

Beautiful! Do you happen to remember the dye color(s) you used on the shirt you show at 15:22?

[@pammyras]

New subscriber❤️ How did you do the shirt you are wearing..?🤗❤️

[@BigDyeCountry]

I love this blanket method that you’ve been experimenting with. I have wondered about using thicker fabric underneath but have yet to try it. You have moving the needle and helping push me in that direction for those flowy, watercolor looks. Another question, what ice maker do you use? I would love to get something small installed in my garage so I’m reducing my use of Costco ice and gas station ice. It’s so pricey over time!

[@hookedlymesinker5984]

I know it's probably stuff you just found but, I would really like some links if you have them to the plastic tote, metal baskets, and those cooling racks that had legs if possible. Also, do you reuse the fleece? Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!!❤

[@corkylorenz]

I will go search to see if o can find the equivalent bins and racks. Yes, I do reuse the fleece! 🥰

[@bonniesnow2810]

What colors did you use on the shirt that you showed as an example in the beginning of the video please?

[@DylanBeeter]

Your shirts are so amazing and pretty im new and just getting into tiedye where can i find good shirt and sweatshirt

[@elizmal533]

Hi just came across your vid, love ur wk 😍 Question, why the mask?? Where are the toxins coming from? Thx

[@juliamelnik8033]

How did you create the t-shirt you are wearing during this tutorial? This olive green with blue rivers on it? Can you make a tutorial on that, please?❤

[@corkylorenz]

I can do a demo for what I did but I don’t know if I’ll be able to recreate that one. It was a happy accident, for sure! I used the cold mist style, applying blue powdered dye to a dry shirt, rinsing in it, and then laying in the grey color after that.

[@juliamelnik8033]

@corkylorenz oh, I don't expect exactly the same result but just would like to understand the way and the instruments (?) I could use. So, only if you have time one day to make a video on this, I'll be grateful. Thank you for your reply! ))

[@judysall6802]

Corky, do you wash the fleece after the garment you dyed is removed? I know the dye isn't supposed to bond with the fleece, but thought it would probably transfer dye from one project to another if not washed. Do you agree? Thank you!

[@corkylorenz]

I haven’t been washing it. I rinse it for about a minute, then spin it out and reuse it. I’m not seeing noticeable dye transfer. 🥳

[@vickyhoyosmoda]

I love it

[@corkylorenz]

Hey, thank you!!

[@liliadelgadillo5872]

Did you turn the sweater inside out first?? Is this standard for sweaters and shirts, or what's the reason behind it? So curious!

[@dianaadams5764]

I love how they turned out!! May I ask where you found your wire baskets?

[@corkylorenz]

I got them from Meijer in the sections with plastic bins and baskets. :)

[@theresamccormick8647]

Thank you

[@Galinsky007]

Hey! What colors did you use for the shirt at 15:17? Thank you! :)

[@corkylorenz]

I know the blue is peacock blue but I can’t remember the specific pink and black that i used. I probably have the info posted in my Facebook group “corky dyes”. I’ll go look

[@Galinsky007]

@@corkylorenz Thank you :)

[@Electricalhair]

For the sake of science, THANK YOU! Also, is the sweeeeeeet shirt you are wearing done in your cool mist method? What blue is that? It's amazing! 🤩

[@corkylorenz]

I think I used turquoise and cayman isle first, to soak into the lines. The rest is a grey… maybe neutral grey? That shirt was a happy accident that I haven’t been able to recreate 🥲 thank you for your kind comment!

[@Prettiuneekdesigns]

I totally get what you mean about the color placement. I seldom use wasabi because I cant find what to pair it with to give more detail and flowy look. I think and its just me wasabi is an awful color. Looking forward to your vid on color placements. These in the video did come out nice.

[@denisebonetti5049]

hi there, just found your channel as that lovely flowy tee showed up during my searches! gorgeous, i'm going to try it ASAP! as eagrinstead1 said with putting indigo halfway down also, is that what you meant by detail colors? I'm not sure I understand...I've been tie dyeing for 4 years but I don't think I have that kind of detailed thought process lol...no pun intended...

[@corkylorenz]

Yess, you understand what I’m trying to say with “detail color”! The indigo blue is a nice one for getting flowy dark lines that move a long distance ☺️

[@Lola-ce1pl]

Thank you!!

[@paulogago-k2t]

I would like to to that in one of my white Jujutsu kimono. Would it be possible? Its like 350Gsm +-

[@corkylorenz]

Do you have any to test on that you wouldn’t mind not turning out well? I think it’s possible that it would look great, but I’m not sure how many tries it would take to find the right variables 😅

[@Brandon-xn1rr]

What dimensions are for the baskets and fleece. Thanks

[@corkylorenz]

To start, i would probably suggest getting 2 yards of fleece. Then lay it out and put items on it that you frequently dye, so you can cut it to fit those. You can use a bigger piece than you need. I think the baskets are 14” x 10” but I don’t remember exactly how deep they are.

[@BarronOG]

Where do you get your sweatshirts from?

[@staciacriswell2990]

What ice maker do you have?

[@KerriBotirius]

Thank you Corky! One question: I recently purchased a panda spinner and I was wondering how long do you spin your shirts? I was concerned they may get too dry and the soda ash won’t react.

[@corkylorenz]

I don’t know if it’s possible to get it too dry. I always sprinkle a little more soda ash on top anyway. 😅 I probably spin it for 20 seconds? I’ll need to count next time.

[@littlewingmyoho]

What die do you use

[@russellstrauss]

How did you get blue into your geode lines?

[@erinp9115]

I'm guessing she untied after bleaching then dyed it.

[@eagrinstead1]

I think that horizontal placement would have been excellent if you used indigo on top and midway down. Can't wait to see more of your videos. And, Corky, I vote ALWAYS for longer videos in the name of SCIENCE and DETAILS. I love your attention to detail!

[@zolenamckenzie1084]

What kind of dye are you using?

[@corkylorenz]

I used fiber reactive procion dye, and soda ash, which sets the dye and makes it permanent. :)

[@zolenamckenzie1084]

@@corkylorenz thank you! The soda ash is just pre soak or should you use it after aswell?

[@ctonramk]

Hi - I've been trying to find a way to get better flow on some 100% cotton shirts like I do with cotton blend sweatshirts... is a microfiber towel the same since it's 100% poly? Or a baby burp towel at 100% poly? I was thinking of putting a light towel over my projects, then ice, then dye - in hopes of capturing flow...your doing underneath ?? Wowza ! As long as it's 100% poly - does it work? Wow thanks

[@corkylorenz]

I’m not sure how they would go. Sounds like a good thing to try!

[@memawg5283]

What was the color combo?

[@corkylorenz]

For which shirt? The ones I dyed in the video, I used indigo blue, wasabi, lavender and amber waves.

[@dianaadams5764]

Thank you for the video!! I am going to try it! Did you soak in soda ash..?

[@corkylorenz]

I did presoak this one. Then spun it out so it was slightly damp before dyeing. Sometimes I just sprinkle it on with the ice though.
