Accidentally posted this under my default reddit handle. Deleted that, reposting with my normal account. Palomino gold, rust brown, golden brown, silver lining, better black, blue violet, ice blue. Deity role, unrolled and sinew tied. Dye over ice, not in muck, dyed over a screen/grate.
Geode (agate?) + jawbreaker pattern. DOI, palomino gold, golden brown, rust brown, blue violet, grape, sea glass, robin's egg blue, and maybe midnight blue? I used lots of colors and I don't always remember which ones I put on there so there's a chance I'm not naming some of them. Tying the shirt took about 4 or 5 hours. I tied half of it slightly damp and the rest of it a couple days later completely bone dry. The Golden brown part of the shirt by the shoulder was tied still damp and I stopped about halfway down the shirt. The rest of it was tied dry. I used wide flat sinew (waxed thread) from Dharma, with minimum of three wraps and a maximum of seven or eight wraps. I pulled it tight, but I didn't pull as hard as I could, I just cinched it down. After the ice had melted, I took it out and squished every part of it and saturated it with soda, ash and water solution and squished it more. I let it batch for a day prior to this, did the squishing plus soda ash solution in the morning, and unwrapped it later that night and washed it out. Kind of fun to see the difference in the results with dry versus damp tying. The front and back are slightly different. When I got halfway down the shirt I had to gather more and more fabric and the areas had to be split up for better saturation. This is why the designs are somewhat different on the front and back. Hope you love it, I tried to preemptively answer any questions that might come up here in the description, but if you have any questions let me know.
Wife is happy with this "Jawbreaker" design/fold. I didn't know what else to call it, but it seemed fitting. DUI, various colors. Working on that saturation still. Next time may be the winner but I still love it!!
Darker themed splash with some black and silver stripes. Colors - raven+better black; silver lining; ice blue; rust brown; golden brown ; hot pink; fuchsia; grape. I forgot to snap a photo after I applied the silver/black, but it was silver on one side and black on the other. Super happy with this one. And it's mine, lol.
For my younger daughter.
I did two shoulder splashes, one for my wife, one for my niece. The third picture is another shoulder splash for my younger daughter (in the works). Fourth picture is an augmented geode with silver lining, palomino gold, rust Brown, golden brown, ice blue, and hot pink - for my older daughter. The last two pictures are dye split trials, trying out mindender, Kaleidoscope eyes and wild things. All on rolls of some type.
My daughter wanted a pink alien so I made her this. She LOVES it. Folded and dyed on second pic. I used the primaries, hot pink, deep orange, and grape. Front and back are the same.
I made up the name for this fold today so I could call it something. I've made quite a few of these and they are always cool. Dye under ice. Grape, lavender, plum, hot pink, ice blue, Houdini blue, rust brown, raven and better black.
I finish the shirts over the course of a week or so. I mix up a type of chem water, (urea, salt, soda ash, water), put it into a squirt bottle. After the ice has melted, I soak the fabric with this solution and let it set 24 hrs. I repeat this 3-4 times then let batch however you like. This creates new drips/drops along the dye paths, hard to describe but I love it. This shirt doesn't showcase this as much as I'd like, but if you look at my other posts, you may notice it. In person is always best, pics never do it justice.
Been off about a year or so, decided it was time to bind some shirts again. After watching the roll techniques over the last year, it made me really want to give it a shot. My FamBam really likes this different style of design. I pick a design every year and do 10-15 shirts for everyone; wife, kids, in laws, outlaws (j/k), brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces... it's a perfect fit for our unconventional "tribe".
