How to Make Ice Dyed Landscapes

[@creativebreathings]

Beautiful technique. It reminds me of a cross between a Monet and Van Gogh painting.

[@NancyGamon]

Ooooh... yes!

I just made my bf a lake tahoe ice dye "map" i got on KZbin to see if any one else is doing this and you're the only one Your art is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try to make something similar to what you did here

[@NancyGamon]

Hey, very cool! Your ice dyed map sounds like a lovely project. Thanks for watching!

Che tipo,di colori sono? Grazie

[@acnf967]

olá nancy! encantada com sua técnica ! depois de deixar o tecido no carbonato de sódio vc enxagua e seca antes de fazer o processo ? seria possível fazer com pigmento botânico caseiro (líquido)? gratidão pelos seu vídeos.. amando..... BRASIL!!!!!

[@NancyGamon]

Olá! É importante ter carbonato de sódio úmido no tecido. Não enxágue nem seque. É possível usar corante líquido. Os resultados serão um pouco diferentes. Haverá menos sutileza. Não tenho certeza sobre o uso de pigmento botânico caseiro. Experimente e descubra a resposta! Divirta-se.

This turned out really cool. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for the inspiration! I enjoy your videos.

[@NancyGamon]

Thanks so much! I'd love to see what you come up with. Have fun!

How to you address the paper? Do you rinse it or just let it dry in place?

[@NancyGamon]

I'm so happy you asked about the paper! I love to put book pages and other papers under the fabric when I'm doing ice dyeing. They just need to be sturdy enough to tolerate being wet for 22-24 hours. After the dye process is complete, I immerse the colored paper in a container of water and very gently swish it around, changing the water 2 or 3 times until most of the loose dye is out. Then I lay the paper flat to dry on an old towel. At that point, the paper is colorfast and can be used in collage without bleeding.

nancy do you not use soda ash?

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Cathy, yes, definitely. The fabric is washed and then soaked in a soda ash solution for at least 10 minutes before beginning the process. Thanks for your question! Nancy

BTW -- maybe do a Spotify playlist for dying. Record and include your theme song.

[@NancyGamon]

You are pure genius. I love this idea!!

[@niccidee782]

Really lovely work Nancy. Thanks for the video :)

[@NancyGamon]

Hey thanks, Nicci!

[@PurpleSoma]

Hi Nancy thank you for the video! Do you think using a stencil would be good too? Ofc the beauty of dyeing is because every shape is going to be random but I think using a stencil would be interesting too

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Ravissant XXIV, That is an intriguing idea! If you give it a try, I'd love to hear about your process and see the results. Do you use stencils in other work? Nancy

[@PurpleSoma]

@@NancyGamon thank you! Mine was just an idea, i didn't try cause i don't have the material yet but definitely gonna try in th e future! I hope you will give it a try aswell!!

[@NancyGamon]

I put it on my experiment list! Thanks for the cool suggestion. Nancy

[@Engelhafen]

Do you ever break up the ice cubes to make them more like chips

[@NancyGamon]

Hi Engelhafen, It is indeed possible to do this same technique with either ice cubes, crushed ice, or snow. The smaller the ice particles are, the more watercolor-like the results will be. Nancy

Sono deluso di sentire questo
