Right at the end of October one of my outdoor cats sustained a head injury. The minute I saw her come home I rushed her to the vet. Luckily there was someone able to drive me there, because I was in panic mode. I had to feed her for about a two week period as she wasn't eating by herself. I'm happy to say she has made a fabulous recovery and we are so grateful.
Also during that time period I got really sick. I'm not sure if it was just a bad cold or a case of the flu, but I spent a lot of the time on the couch. Doing nothing.
I don't have a lot to show for the past few weeks. But in the days before my cat's injury, I had spent some time with local friends and we had an ice dyeing session.
In a recent issue of Quilting Arts magazine, Lynda Heines, of Bloom Bake & Create blog, had an article about ice dyeing with resists. In her article she used soy wax and Clean Line resist. My friend Sandy already had a bottle of the Clean Line on hand and she so generously shared with everyone. So a few days prior to our dyeing day, we each (at home) applied some Clean Line resist to fabric pieces. Then we met and applied soy wax to more pieces of fabric. And then we ice dyed.
Below are most of my results. I did not have success with the Clean Line resist. I think perhaps it dissolved on the fabric too fast. The only Clean Line resist piece that sort of turned out is the first one shown here. All the rest of the fabrics are done with soy wax.
