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

@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?

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

Towel Saxophone is now my new band name

... and you have no saxophones, I'd guess

No, but one guy does a really good saxophone impression while blowing into a towel

Do you know beforehand what pattern you're making or is it a surprise to you too?

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

With experience, you can do pretty much any basic shape just by folding it properly. Like this 2 moons and a silouhet.

Can someone please explain the reasoning behind the ice?

3 years ago | Likes 103 Dislikes 2

It creates a bit more of a watercolor effect

Dissolves the dye locally without mixing them all and making one big grey-brown sheet?

That's what makes the final result so cool

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.
