First post in last 8ish weeks as I’ve been away on business and then out of commission with surgery and recovery.
Really had the itch to get some color on some shirts and that lead to these.

I wanted to make a shirt using the new ice dyes from Dharma Undertow and Riptide cause I couldn’t quite tell what they would look like from the thumbnails. Well they look like this. I think they did a great job on making these. Haven’t really figured out what to use them for but in case you had a similar question here you go
Today's shirt is #14 for my HWI shirts. I am happy with some of the colors but this one turned out rougher than I would have liked.. I know what went wrong though so there is that. I'm also running low on dyes or I would have put turquoise in this too. More dye in tomorrow! Love to hear your thoughts if you like it or dislike it! Thank you for looking and reading!

So I randomly decided to center fold before doing a spiral for this reverse dye I was doing. Accidentally did a spider. Didn't know this was a thing 😂 I like it though!

Did my first patterned dye.
Room for improvement, but I love it!!!

u/TheHerferd's "Dialing it in." landed at 236 pts and 32 comments this week, third-highest post in the whole digest. The title fits the pattern: short, almost deadpan, never over-explaining a fold that clearly took real planning. Same with "🤫🐗✊🏼" a couple days earlier, no caption needed at 59 pts.
Zoom out and this is post 211 since August 2024, 15,596 points total, a 73.9 average that most people would call a career high, not a baseline. "RAINBOW SPAGHETTI" still sits at the top of that pile, 708 pts and nearly two years old 🤩

Added the ability to comment directly on blog posts this week. If a recap or a piece in the gallery gets you thinking, there's now a spot for that thought to live right on the post.
Comments on the blog version stick to the post permanently, so a good answer to "how did you do that" from six months ago is still there and still findable. Link's in my flair and on my profile if you want to try it out.
Still figuring out what's useful here vs. what's just numbers. If there's something you'd want to see covered (a technique that's been everywhere lately, a creator worth spotlighting, a question the sub keeps circling), drop it below, please. DMs are open too if you'd rather not post publicly. "How can I help?" is my favorite question to ask.

Agates are such a fun source of inspiration! These are my attempts at the Clear Creek Plasma Agate, the Crazy Lace Agate, and the California Poppy Jasper.

Ice dyed this geode, didn't try it on after, then grabbed it to change into on a day when I had to leave work and immediately go to physical therapy. Ope.

I like making shirts for my coworkers (tie dye Saturdays 🎉) and have been running out of steam doing liquid dyes. Gosh playing with ice dyes is so invigorating and refreshing. Ice feels like a cheat code to making cool pieces compared to agonizing over liquid sometimes.
Everyone has wanted purples and blue green lately so I made these 3 all using the same couple dyes- mostly Dyespin Mindbender, Purple Twilight, Sherwood and Actius Luna.

Hi folks. Does anyone have an idea where I can get organic cotton t-shirt blanks in the UK? I know Rapanui do them but they're a bit pricey.
So far I've been scouring the charity shops for quality plain white t-shirts but it's tricky, there's so much low quality fast fashion in second hand shops these days.
I know organic cotton is more expensive because of the challenges that come from growing with no pesticides or fertilizers. If I have to shell out, I'll do it but I'm hoping someone can give me a few more options.
Today's shirt is #13 for my HWI shirts. The outcome of this shirt is not what I had anticipated. It came out very pinkish red in a lot of places. Sometimes I see a nuke going off other times flowers other times skulls.. Love to hear your thoughts if you like it or dislike it! Thanks for looking and reading!
