OK...so I never actually BUILT a snowman but if I had....this is where he would have ended up!
I so loved the results of snow dyeing with soy was resist I just HAD to do it again! This time I did an experiment with the soda ash. One piece was pre-soaked in soda ash and the second piece was just PFD right off the bolt. On that piece I sprinkled the soda ash on along with the dye powder.
The procion dyes I used were Victorian Blue, Turkey Red, Smoky Grey and some Pewter
And here are the fun results. I used my new favorite resist applicator....my empty tea tin!!!
Piece One - Pre-soaked fabric, snow, dye powder, more snow
Piece Two - Non-soaked fabric, snow, dye powder, soda ash, more snow
One think I noticed is that the colors mixed more with the pre-soaked fabric and kept their distance a bit more with the sprinkled piece. I love them both....just depends on what look you are going for!

Every time I see something like this with soy resist, I vow that I have to try it. I love your results!
Thanks Norma! I greatly encourage you to jump in and give it a try. Only one warning....it is addictive! But so worth it!
