How to Tie Dye : GEMSTONE MANDALA | Hot Water Irrigation (HWI) Technique

[@amandaevans9201]

I'm kind of in love with the finished product. The back is sooo cool, and then the front....wow. So amazing, this one is definitely one of my favorites.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Well thank you! I really appreciate that! ☺️💙

[@woodswellness5445]

Riah this shirt is GORGEOUS!!! It never ceases to amaze me that you start with a white shirt and turn into something like this. Unbelievable! I probably wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! ☺️💚

[@celestialmajesty2053]

Absolutely stunning!! I love the heart in the center!!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much! ☺️💗

[@skcrary]

Great design! I saw the back and liked the colors and pattern...then, when you flipped it over, I gasped/scoffed in disbelief, "Oh, come on now!?" So, so cool! Well done and thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Lol thank you so much! I really appreciate that! ☺️💙

[@memetull]

ooo I like the mandala a lot. It was very interesting to see how the "grey looking" powders all came to life during irrigation. Great work

[@RiahsTieDye]

I know I love that part too! Thank you so much! ☺️💙

[@sabrina-wq4uu]

I like how the Parakeet color has more than one color in it. A beautiful job on this shirt, Riah!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Me too! Very pretty! Thank you so much! ☺️💚

That's the most beautiful dye I've seen yet!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you! That means a lot to me! ☺️💙

[@lisakramer1936]

Riaaaaaaah!! This is by far the most fabulous mandala and back pattern I've seen from you in a while. You really inspire me to keep improving my mandalas. Been in the tie dye game for about a year now and my folds are not where I want them to be...yet. Thank you for sharing your process. It really helps in the learning process.💙💜💚🧡

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much Lisa! I’ve recently been doing a lot of research and finding ways to be better as well so hopefully I’ll be able to pass everything I learn a long ☺️💗

[@ellenmurphy2150]

What really amazes me is that you have some idea of how it's going to look already. I would not have thought seeing you tie up the shirt like that that it would look so cool. On my Android most of your powdered dye looks silver or grayish? Or is that just me?

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much! A lot of them look that way with the soda ash mixed in until they get some water on them ☺️💙

[@ellenmurphy2150]

@@RiahsTieDye I really enjoy your videos and I really like tye dye. Part of it for me is taking off the rubber bands and not knowing exactly what it's going to look like.

[@louisejohnson6057]

Oh Riah! This really wonderful! I love how vibrant it is, and the patterns you achieved are so intricate. I liked the Parakeet colour. Cute name, pretty colour. I was looking at the cover of your book, and thinking about if you had difficulty choosing which tye dye to choose for the cover. Then I see the written by Mariah English, and I get all confused. I see Riah at the bottom, and I'm still not putting it together. Nope, my superior intellect starts wondering if this Mariah woman helped you with the book,😳. The penny then dropped,😂. It took far too long for me to go "click". I just never thought about your name being a nickname, I just thought it was a unique and beautiful name. What can I say but🤦‍♀️

[@tiniunicornsparkles]

I actually thought the same! The penny just dropped as I was reading what you had written lol. It is a lovely nickname and what amazing tie dyes everytime 😀

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hahaha yes I was named after Mariah Carey and my dad always calls me Riah lol. I thought it might confuse some people lol. Thank you so much for all of your kind words ☺️❤️

[@bethlambert612]

Are you using dye and soda ash mixed together on the shirt before spraying hot water?

[@RiahsTieDye]

I sure am ☺️💙

[@jeremiarabassa7360]

Where do you get the sinew puller at?

[@RiahsTieDye]

The wooden ones are from Nikolay Savin on Facebook and the rainbow one is from BoredomwithJenn on Etsy ☺️💙

[@gaillevine7461]

Why do you switch to kite string again?

[@RiahsTieDye]

I use kite string mainly for securing. Just like rubber bands unless I want a more secure tie. Sinew and fishing line for design lines😊💜
