I prefer having no intro but only because I’m impatient lol love seeing all the projects you create. This one however is my FAVORITE!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Aww thanks! Yeah I definitely don’t need all of the theatrics lol.

[@pieeyedmajesty7105]

Laughed out loud at your reaction to the reveal! Gotta love when the artist is truly satisfied with the work ❤

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hahaha! I couldn’t help myself! I’m glad you like it 😊💙

[@pyro-millie5533]

Omg that is magical!! I love that the colors faded some after the wash and dry. It helps those geodes pop more!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you! I agree and I’m glad you like it!😊💙

[@katperez7884]

I love the new format. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

[@RiahsTieDye]

You’re very welcome and thank you for the awesome comment!😊

[@mollyspencer5570]

I’m JUST getting started with the ice dyeing. I watched your entire video on this tapestry and loved your whole presentation. Especially the reveal.

[@RiahsTieDye]

That’s awesome and thank you so much! 💜 I love ice dyeing. Definitely uses more dye but totally worth it for the cool marble effect you get with most projects😊

[@melodiamariamartinez7742]

Congratulations to the owner. I definitely need one. That geode and color combo 😍

[@RiahsTieDye]

Well if you need me to make one don’t hesitate to contact me. I have a contact page on my website at www.riahstiedye.com where you can email me ☺️💙

[@calledtobeadaughterofzion892]

I stumbled on your website by accident but, I'm really glad I did. You are such a creative, talented and beautiful artist. So much more than just tie dye. I was looking for ways to dye silk fabric. I am learning to make silk flags for myself. I thank you. God Bless you dear.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Welcome!!! I’m glad you’re here!!! And that’s pretty cool! I believe silk is natural so dharma dye could work. It’s called Dharma Trading Company

[@RoeRoe123]

This is beautiful but everything you make is beautiful 😍

[@RiahsTieDye]

Awe thank you Rhonnie! I really appreciate that!😊💖

[@McSherrie]

I love how this turned out! My latest experiment was a geode mask and I have a geode maxi dress just waiting for dye. I’m ok with the shortened intro, although I do miss you taking a little more time to explain what is going to happen in the video. Either way, I always look forward to watching you make cool things!

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much Gwen! Your feedback is definitely appreciated. I think sometimes people just want to see the tyeing right away and I'm trying to shorten the videos where I can for everyone. Didn't really work out so well on this one but you know as well as I do that Geodes take awhile😄😂

[@zoezo4]

Wow Riah that is the most beautiful tie dye I have ever seen. Amazing work. Not fussed about intro, whatever u want to do.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hi and thank you for your question. Unfortunately I have never dyed silk but I do know that it is possible. I have planned on doing a video using silk for awhile now but just never got around to it and you’re the first person to ask. So thank you for the push!😊. I will do one in the near future definitely!💜

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you so much!

[@DakodaWolff]

11:50-13:20 just to save time and string, you can use a cooling rack or two to simultaneously help flatten them out and allow the geodes that are not being squeezed by the racks to maintain a form that is as close as possible to just hanging loose. To paraphrase a commonly used figure of speech: you kill 3 birds with one stone.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thanks for the tip 😊

[@DakodaWolff]

@@RiahsTieDye You're very welcome

[@toniadyce6523]

How does the string stay in place w/out knotting?

[@RiahsTieDye]

Sinew is a waxy string that sticks to itself so it works wonderfully!😊

[@kurtzsb]

looks really cool, do you think there would be a huge difference of results between ice and liquid?

[@RiahsTieDye]

Thank you. I do only because the liquid is going to generally stay where you put it, where as the ice blends the colors together. I do think that both will look amazing though. Hope this helps😊💜

[@Avab773]

With this kind of thing how do you wash it? Hot water first or?

[@RiahsTieDye]

Hi! Thank you for your question! I always wash my tie dye garments in a hot water wash with cold water rinses if you have that option. I also use synthrapol detergent made for extracting the excess dye while your washing 😊 I hope this helps!

[@sarahyahshebrew9522]

Hello. I'm wondering if you could advise me on a project. My family is going on a camping (glamping) trip with about 5 other families. Ages are from teens to seniors. I wanted at least 2 activities where we could All do something together and bond old and young. So I want to turn old white bed sheets into "picnic" blankets. The dilemma is the folding part. My solution is to prefold and tie all sheets the week of. If I use a very concentrated soda ash wash (prefold), would I then be able to re-wet the fabric to re-activate the soda ash? I'm trying to save money on dye so I will mix the dye bottles up an hour or so before activity time. Everyone will have their own stations but bottles will be shared by each table. Or would a redunk in soda ash be ok and carefully squeeze liquid out so as not to mess with the folds and tying? If it's easy for them it will be fun. Since we will be under a pavilion that has a large kitchen I have five gallon buckets for the wash after rinsing in the sinks. OR should I pre- soak, fold and tye and then place each canvas in a giant zip lock to keep moist? What do you think? IS THIS DO-ABLE? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

[@RiahsTieDye]

Awesome! You guys will have so much fun. To answer your question, I found out recently that after you take the items out of soda ash go ahead and tie them the way you want and then let them dry out. This would be the easiest for your situation. No need to re wet because once you actually start putting the dye on it actually won’t spread as much which is a good thing. So go ahead and tie them up, let them dry out, and pull them out to dye whenever your ready. The soda ash will still be active because you didn’t wash it out so I hope this answers your question 😊 if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask 💜

[@sarahyahshebrew9522]

@@RiahsTieDye YAYYYY! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Actually I do have another question or two. Is washing soda the same quality soda ash you use? Also do you think you could do a video of the presoaked, folded, tied and dried before dying scenario? If the quality is not decreased this could save me lots of time in the future. THANKS AGAIN!

[@RiahsTieDye]

I have seen people use washing soda but I cannot tell you for sure whether it is the same or not. I actually have been doing that scenario in the last couple of videos but maybe I don’t mention it. So I always prewash everything I’m going to dye with regular detergent. When it comes out of the washer I put it right in the soda ash for at least 20 minutes (longer is fine) then when your ready to tie just spin it out in your washer or ring it out. Then tie it up and let it sit to dry out for a day. Then you should be good to go ☺️

[@sarahyahshebrew9522]
