Ice painting

This whole month I talked about snow and ice in combination with Procion MX dyes, but you can also use ice cubes in combination with paint. This time I painted a piece of fabric (approximately 0,5 yard) with a blue and pearl Lumiere paint. Placed this in a container and added some ice cubes.

By using ice cubes it is easy to place them at random as for this technique it is essential that not everywhere melting occurs. After the ice was melted and the fabric was ironed (from the back) it looked like this:

The light areas are the areas where ice melted. The paint there got mixed with the melting water.
Here is another example. You can see that with this fabric more ice cubes were used, resulting in a very pale fabric.

The fabric is very light, but in this detail photo you can see that it is very pretty:

This is my last blogpost about snow and ice dyeing. I hope you enjoyed them and that it gave you inspiration for the coming winter.
