Most produced a significant splitting of colors. These were all mixed Procion MX dye powders from Dharma Trading. No pure dye colors were used. A few, even though mixed hues, only had varying tints/shades of the color and no true splitting happened. Perhaps more dye powder, or longer batching time would have produced different results.
I have a significant amount of undyed (white) areas. This doesn't pose a problem to me. I can over dye the entire piece and those areas would be more subtly shaded. I doubt I'll do that, but then, it's all about getting the answer to the age old question, WHAT IF?
Let's create today and find another possible answer.
May God bless the thoughts to your mind and the work of your hands. Luann

Luann, Wow! Great to see all of your lovely pieces.
What fun Luann - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comments. I love sharing what I'm doing, just having a challenge taking time out to accomplish the posting. This was a lot of fun. Now to decide on the quilt design for some of them,,,
How unique each piece turned out using the same process; but a different color. How interesting! You will have fun creating with these!--Terry
Thanks for sharing the outcomes of your experiments, Luann. It's great to see what can be done without having to do it myself. :)
Terry and Monica,
Thanks for the comments on the ice dyes.
I know both of you will see, or already have seen, my July Review, I think you can see that I've stayed away from blogging and invested time in my creating.
Everyone,
I may be able to get a few more blog posts done in August. I've actually been thinking about putting them up for each project, as I finish it. Otherwise, my post is so helter-skelter that I have a challenge knowing if I've covered all of what I wanted to,,,
I'm so very blessed to have followers that encourage me along. I apologize for my lack of comments lately, but as I said before, I'm in a 'get it finished' mode at the moment.
May God bless each of you with a refreshing day. Luann
