@OP With my tie dye, that is not as good as this, it always looks great until the 1st wash. and I try to set the colors. I use soda ash any recommendations?
Ice dyeing is easier. You can do whitout if using liquid dye. With ice it's dry dye, it's easier to apply exactly where you want. It's also easier to get full saturation. And off course the watercolor-like effects already mention.

This is really cool, but us doesn't look like Nelson Mandala

@OP – Do you sell your work and/or have a website?
djoach
The shop can be found on the linktree (The link is on instagram, see in description)

The understanding that goes behind knowing where to tie and how to fold is beyond my comprehension. Amazing job!

I've never had the urge to but could I marry that mandala?

Well that’s awesome, but give a kudos to whoever designed your house. That space looks awesome.

I'm remembering this process differently but that might just be the mandala effect

It's pretty, but somehow also reminds me of the last time I got punched in the nose.

When I hear tie dye, I don't picture this; great job!

I'm not going to pretend to understand how this works. My brain is confused, but that is very pretty

TLDR: The towel saxophone turned into a cool star shaped pattern

Towel Saxophone is now my new band name

... and you have no saxophones, I'd guess
lncorrectGrammerNazi
No, but one guy does a really good saxophone impression while blowing into a towel
Birbsicle
Do you know beforehand what pattern you're making or is it a surprise to you too?
djoach
With experience, you can do pretty much any basic shape just by folding it properly. Like this 2 moons and a silouhet.
djoach
Even a skull.

Can someone please explain the reasoning behind the ice?
BeeWoman
It creates a bit more of a watercolor effect
njessup1992
Dissolves the dye locally without mixing them all and making one big grey-brown sheet?
VolcanoHerder
That's what makes the final result so cool

What kind of dye is it? (besides dry)
djoach
It's fiber reactive dye powder.
