Tie Dye Designs: 2 Colander Spirals (Experimenting with dye application and tape)

[@hollyecf]

Beautiful classic designs! I' going to try the colander technique! Thanks for always inspiring me!!!

[@karenlehnert8333]

Oh, wow, Angie. I love the flow on these two best when compared to the previous versions you showed. It is so feathery and flowy (totally not a word but you know what I mean. 😉). I wonder how hard it would be or if you could achieve a similar outcome on a long sleeve tshirt or a sweatshirt. The length of the fabric and thickness of a sweatshirt would be a challenge, but could you imagine how beautiful it would be? That chocolate cherries one is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your experiments and talents with us! ✌🏻❤️🤙🏻

I like the way the dies make flames as they migrate through the fabric. I really liked the second shirt, kind of patriotic colors.

Beautiful, the first one reminds me of an Indian chiefs head dress. Very feathery and gorgeous. This exactly how I do my colander spiral dyes.

[@marionmarcinek6483]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love both of these. I really like ice dyeing with colanders.

[@priscillawilliams4113]

OK so these both came out great! You've mastered the colander dyes. So nice to wake up with my coffee to one of your videos! I would wear both shirts. Amazing!!!

[@marthalove3784]

Great idea using 2 colanders!! Thanks for sharing that idea! They both have great depth and definition!

[@tplude1]

they are both amazing!!! I really like the white! I am going to have to try this for sure!!

Thank you for being a guinea pig. 😊

[@rosellahanson5760]

another great tutorial. Have you ever tried leaving the tape on the spiral?

[@Plainsrider53]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, soothing voice, your explanations are on point.

[@jaynedaily6080]

Always helpful and such a soothingvoice. I really liked that chocolate cherry dye.

[@pattic.2975]

I really like these last two best. The other two are awesome, but these a little more awesomer! Really LOVE the flow on these better.

[@pattic.2975]

The edges are more wispier giving it an euphoric look. Thanks, Angie!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@NatureZone101]

Love them both!

[@paulafloyd-cx7mo]

Gorgeous!! I definitely agree with your dye placement, it improves the flow of splits and defines the middle…and helps us heavy handed peeps to understand that there are times that less is best😊 I have never tried to tape the spiral. I’ve always tied with kite string, then snipped it after placement on the colander. The tape looks like a lot less of an arm workout! 😂 I’m going to try it next time for sure! Thanks for sharing and inspiring ❤✌️🧊🎨🌎🌈

I cut shorter tape sections and use those to start (clip them on.) Then I retape all the way around with one piece. I use only the Scotch brand tape. Cheap tapes don’t work.

What does the dry soda ash do to the dye?

[@quixoticjedi942]

It acts as a catalyst for the die to react with the fibers bonding them chemically.

[@amandag4367]

To put it much more simple, it's pretty much necessary when using the type of dyes she uses. . You can either soak the shirt in it first (warm water mixed with soda ash) or you can do it the way she did. For ice dying, this way is the best way to use the soda ash.
