This is a 3-yard piece of cotton fabric which I had soda soaked. In a big container I place several smal containers to raise a platform.
Lots of yoghurt cups were tied into the fabric with rubber bands:
A layer of snow was piled on top of this:
And about a cup of dye powder was sprinkled on it. I used Red Turkey (ProChem) and Charcoal Grey (Dharma).
Covered this with a thin layer of snow.
And placed the container on the studio floor to batch. This is what we found when we entered the studio the next morning:
Apparently the container was not watertight. Luckily nothing in the studio was damaged and the cotton used to wipe up the mess turned into some nice pieces :-). This is how the fabric looked when the melted snow was gone:
Time to remove the rubber bands and to rinse, wash and iron the fabric. Here is how the fabric turned out:
It was so big that I had to take 2 pictures to show the whole fabric. I sandwiched it and am now in the - time consuming - process of quilting it.
