Snow Dying


Ok, like many of my online friends, I too, have been snow dying  The snow crystals add beautiful striations to the finished fabric.  My first attemps earlier this month were not as good.  I discovered through more research that raising the fabric on some sort of platform
gave results that were more motteled.  I like the effect.  This time I got what I wanted.  


These along with many more seen here will be the basis for the work for the Nebraska Studio Art Quilt Association show in the fall.  "NE Squared"  Not quite done with the design process but this 10 yards will be a good start on the series I've planned.  

At least snow has some good quality for me now.  Todays 40+ temps have me worried that the winter is finally over.  I'm sure I won't be diappointed if it is but, would like to get a few more yards done for supplimenting these pieces.
