I love reading all of the comments from fellow tie dyers because I learn new tricks and trades! I hope im not the only one!!! Lol. Thanks Angie as always for an amazing tutorial!
I thoroughly enjoy the look of inclined dye movements. Those spikes flowing into other areas along the fold looks especially cool on this because they are so long.
This one came out great Angie - - I think the white helps to define the colors - - since they seem to be on the dark side, they would have gotten lost if you put them right up against each other - - great job - - thanks always for your continued inspiration!!
I started using cheap paint brushes to dispense my dye onto the shirt and I love it. I have minimized waste and have great control over dye placement. I heard somebody say it in in passing not thinking about it at the time and it is a game changer for me.
That's a great idea. I, too, have seen it in passing but have not tried it yet. Thanks for the reminder & how it works for you! I use both plastic & metal spoons. I use a different plastic spoon for each color, but when using the metals, I use one for lighter colors & one for darker colors, cleaning w/paper towel each time!
Oh, WOW! I think this is a great shirt! I wasn't expecting the dye not to flow more, but I think everything you said was the reason why. Once again, the colors you chose work so great together. I thought all the white was gonna freak you a little, but I'm glad you see how outstanding the big white spaces really enhance the design. I also agree with bludeetu321, your precision protractor fold contributed greatly. I'm going to do one like this, I really, really, LOVE how it came out. Those little 'feathers' REALLY are so cool! Great job!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! I'm starting to embrace and fall in love with some white on my tie dye. I think it depends on the design, but I think it looks really good on this one. 😀
Love your channel, your tips, your creative endeavors and your beautiful creations. You take basic twist in the center tie dying to new heights. Thank you.
I think the white works because of the precision of the fan fold. Together, the two make the design look more intentional than 'tie dye.' And my immediate reaction was that it reminded me of the ceiling on an old fashioned carousel. Happy memories. 👍🏼👍🏼 ☺️
I like this shirt and the colors. Planning to use white and having too much white because you didn’t add enough dye are two entirely different things. In this shirt the white is part of the design and the design is complete. In comparison: some of the shirts I’ve been stingy with the dye and the design is only complete in one part and it looks amateur. This is a beautiful design and well executed. 👍
Hi Angie, I REALLY enjoy your detailed, yet easy-to-understand teaching style. Whenever I first rinse cold, then hot, the hot water causes my dyes to run! I always let my dyes process at least 24 hours with that same result. I’ve started rinsing only in cold water, and since I only have access to a community washer & dryer, I’ve also been hand washing in cold water, then drying outside on a clothes rack. It’s getting colder outside and I want to use the washer & dryer: 1) Will washing in hot water leave any dye residue in the community washer? 2) Will drying items that have been washed in hot water leave any dye residue in the community dryer? I appreciate any insight you might provide! (BTW, I did this protractor fan fold ice dye, came out nice!)
Hi! So the purpose of the cold water rinse is to get out the remaining soda ash from the shirt. Once the soda ash is out, it is less likely that the dye that is rinsed out of the shirt will bond with the fabric (the possibility isn't zero though). Cold water isn't great to get out the excess dye though. Hot water is the best way to get the excess dye rinsed out of the shirt. Some colors are also a little more difficult to get fully rinsed (blue is the hardest for me). That's the reason why I soak all my shirts in really hot water and blue Dawn dish soap. I put my shirt into the washing machine once the soaking water is remaining almost clear. If you don't have an area to easily soak shirts, you could always get a bucket and use that to soak your shirts in hot water. Just add a little Dawn to the bucket along with some really hot water and allow the shirt to soak. When the water gets cold, change it out and keep soaking your shirt until the water stays almost clear. I think you'll be amazed how much excess dye comes out in the soaking water. Washing and drying your shirts in a community washing machine shouldn't leave residue in either machine if they are well rinsed. Even if they aren't well rinsed, you should be fine unless you got a lot of dye up around the top of the washing machine when you put the item inside. If you don't rinse them really well, they will continue to bleed color each time they are washed. Even when they are rinsed really well, that can still happen for the first few washings.
I absolutely love this design Angie! Thank you so much for explaining every step as you did. I agree, a luttle too much white. I think some white is needed to define the colors, but just a bit smaller white for me! Otherwise, this is an absolute amazing design that i will definitely be trying!!!! Thank you!
So cool Angie. It has a great spider web effect to me and the colors-perfect choices. I think it is my favorite ID I have seen so far on RUclips, and I have seen many. Would you say it takes twice the amount of dye to ice dye or even more? Thank you for taking the time to respond as I'm sure you will. I want to try one soon. I have about 15 tees under my belt but where I suffer is with arthritis in my wrists and I get so frustrated and know I may never get past the basic folds and pleats. Like the old saying goes-well the world needs ditch diggers, too. LOL. Be well kiddo.
Thank you! 😀 I don't think it takes twice the amount of dye to ice dye. A few years ago, I kept track of the amount of dye I was using for both ice and liquid dyeing. I would weigh my containers before and after using them. I found that depending on the color, it actually took about the same amount of dye for ice dyeing. Of course, I am heavy handed with applying dye, and it was different depending on the design and color. I was kind of surprised by my findings, but it does make sense. For this shirt in particular, some of the colors are pretty dark ones. Therefore, I would need to use quite a bit of dye powder to mix the dye into a liquid (some of the darker colors use 4 - 8 teaspoons of powder to mix 1 cup of dye). I rarely use that amount of dye powder of 1 color on a shirt. I also don't have the waste of mixing too much liquid dye and not using it. I'm sorry you are suffering from arthritis. I'm sure it makes it painful. Thankfully, ice dyeing makes a big impact. Even with more simple designs. The color splits really make each shirt cool and unique!
Thank you! I love Dyespin dye. I just placed another order the other day with some of the Dark Horse dyes, and I can't wait to experiment with those. 🙂
@@FunEndeavors oh boy, I hadn’t seen those! Lalalala 🤪 Have you considered trying to mix your own dyes? I’ve been pondering maybe trying a little. I buy in pound quantities usually so I’ve certainly got enough to try maybe a small batch. 🧐
@@BLKMGK4 I know, I'm excited to get them. They were under a tab by themselves and not with the rest of the dyes. I haven't mixed my own dyes since I make RUclips tutorials for others to follow. I think it would be a lot of fun to do though. I have a background in Chemistry and so mixing stuff and experimenting is right up my alley. However, I think a mixed color would be too difficult for others to replicate. I've done a little mixing of liquid dyes, but it isn't the same.
I personally love this shirt ... looks like dark blue and green ❤ and the feathering. As you commented, I wonder what the shirt would have looked like without restriction-would the colors have touched? Would there still be white (which I like)? Thank you for another piece of wearable art.
Thank you!! The feathering is my favorite part. I think the colors would've come close to touching, but you never know. Tie dye does what it wants to sometimes. 😀
Hi Angie. I was reading some of your blogs on your website...thank you for those by the way. Question: After you have run your rinsed shirts to almost clear water, is it then ok to wash them all together regardless of the colors? And when machine washing are you using hot or cold? Thanks for all the useful info, your awesome as are your tie dye's.
Hi! I'm really glad you've found the blog helpful. Yes, after I've rinsed the shirts and soaked them in really hot water until the water is remaining really clear; I do wash them all together. I use Dharma's Professional Textile Detergent in the washing machine (that will help keep any little bits of dye that may come out in the wash from bonding with the fabric) in hot water.
I haven't ever compared the two methods to see if it makes a difference. That would be a fun experiment to do though. I normally use a gutter unless I'm making a really long or wide item like a hoodie. I get great dye movement on hoodies using an inclined rack though.
I don’t like a lot of white either. But I absolutely love this shirt for dye movement is beautiful. I think that the white makes the beautiful dye movement show more and it makes the shirt very special. I adore it, and I am going to try to smash my shirt to the side of the gutter to get these results.
I put heat shrink tubing over the teeth, and then use a heat gun to shrink it to fit around the teeth. I've never had an issue with the teeth causing holes. Oops, I just read that you are using the hemostats for spirals. I'm not sure how to make them safe for spirals. I use a pair of plastic coated locking tweezers to start my spirals. They aren't quite as small on the end as small hemostats, but they don't cause holes. Here's a link to what I use: amzn.to/46SLq3S
The shirt is GORGEOUS! The white is a beautiful contrast!
Thank you so much! 😀

@@denisef1684 I do the same thing with the stainless steel spoons. The dye easily wipes right off after each color.
Wow! The white really enhances the other colors. Love love love it! I see the feathers.
Thank you so much! 🙂
I think this shirt is stunning, Angie, it made me go, WOW. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 😊
I really love this shirt! This is a perfect example of negative contrast. Love your work, your videos are inspiring.
Thanks so much! 🙂
I love the colors!! And I love the white it gives it depth.
Makes me think of a ferris wheel! Like the colors, and the white spaces!
Thank you! Someone else said that too, and it does kind of look like that. 😀
How did I miss this last month? I LOVE this! Awesome shirt and technique, Angie.
Thank you so much! 😊
I was wondering the same thing!!!! I can't believe I missed this one!
So beautiful! SF Fog is one of my favorites!! ❤️🌈
Thank you so much! 🙂
Holy heck this is gorgeous! I am so glad you left the white. It is what makes this shirt so unique. ❤
