Moon Phase Dyes - February 2019



Here are some outcomes of our February New Moon Dyeing session! 

Tie Dye Moon Phase Banners on Etsy
Tie Dye Moon Phase Banners on Etsy

Crafted up these "Moon Phase" banners during the new moon and I'm diggin' the way they turned out even though I could use some improvement. Plan on hemming them an adding loops in the top corners to hang with my next batch but these first four got a quick serge to the edges to prevent fraying.

Three are available and listed in my Etsy Shop
 📸 You can click on the photos below to get to the listings 
and check out more pictures of each item.

Sadly one had an "accident" with the fray check and is trying to recoup. Might
end up having a new shop banner at Moon Dyes if it can't be fixed.

What did you do with the full moon energy?

A cute thrift store find upcycled into a colorful piece of art. Would make

No custom requests for this item is a one of a kind gem.

I do believe this psychedelic zip up is a swimsuit coverup?!
Pop on some leggings or a pair of thigh highs & a halter top and your ready 
to hit the town and turn heads. Definitely would be a bright staple in ones 
summer wardrobe. Camping, hanging at the pool and of course partying 
it down at festivals would pair nicely with this tie dye creation.

Watermelon Inspired Tie Dye Design



A follower on Instagram had asked me to whip up a watermelon tapestry an I just loved the idea! Didn't want to make a literal watermelon shape so we brainstormed to come up with this simple and absolutely beautiful watermelon inspired design. 

 🍉

Starting out the creation is a hand tied and dyed sun mandala that transforms into a lotus blossom which is the pink flesh of the melon. The rest of the tap was tied in a spiderweb and dyed green to portray the watermelon rind. I was a bit nervous when I added the black on top of the lotus blossom for it was too wet and I thought it would take away my light pink color but luckily it turned out fantastic! I will be making more to list in my Etsy tie dye shop.


  Do you have an idea you'd like brought to life on a tapestry?

New Moon Dyeing - February 2019


🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕


For the February New Moon I've decided to try my hand at a couple "Moon Phase" and "Triple Moon" mini taps plus get a few socks tied and dyed to finally get more items in my almost empty, lil' Etsy shop. Sexy thigh highs for all the funky festival goers, hoopers, ravers and more plus matching cotton adult socks for everybody else.

Who doesn't like tie dye socks?
Seriously, who?!

I can always take custom orders and dye up a pair of tye dye socks in anycolors you'd like in no time. Just drop me a line on my Facebook, Instagram, or Etsy shop and I'll get a custom listing made for you to purchase. 🎨

🌛🌝🌜

The soda ash soak was blessed by the new moon and items have soaked up
my blessings ⭐ awaiting to be wrung out and tied up!

I've tied a few moon phases/triple moons in the past but they really never turned
out super dope so I've only listed a few for sale, which did sell. Guess I just thought they weren't good enough, yet didn't practiced more to better my skills.
Silly tie dye artist.

Well, it's a...
New Day + New Moon
so get creating!

First one is done!

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕


Here are the outcomes of our January New Moon Dyeing session!

Which one would you choose?!

These are the three tapestry choices we whipped up for the winner 
of Decembers Giveaway. These 3 designs are some of our favorites 
and we'll be doing more in all sorts of colors this year.

  1. Classic "Mandala" design
  2. Our own "Wagon Wheel" design
  3. Our own "Shocker" design
Wagon Wheel Tye Dye - Click to see listing!Shocker Tie Dye - Click to see listing!

The "Moon Ripple" kids tees were a little overpowered by the turquoise 
cast off but still look cute and will make an OOAK gifts. Things don't always work out with tie dyeing but the experimenting is always a blast!

Moon Ripples

More kids tees

Even had to dye up some adorable baby onesies! 
Notice the tiny newborn one 😍

Awwww the tiny one melts my heart!

And lastly just for fun, I dyed up a handmade mini tap an a sports bra which I regret not tying up some socks to match. Hopefully I can get some made before I start 
listing tie dyes in my Etsy shop. Fingers crossed!

Mini Tap - Bandana

Sports Bra

Alien Cane - Polymer Clay Crafts


Being stuck in the house during the freezing tundra of our North Dakota winter environment had us watching way too many polymer clay crafting videos these last few weeks and of course we had the urge to go out and buy some clay to play with...so we did. This is what happened, now life will never be the same again.

👽

Shout out to MO clays Youtube channel, totally hooked us and inspired the motivation to do our first Alien cane. Which turned out pretty freakin stellar if you ask us!

This cane was actually made with some super old Craftsmart clay I got at Michaels at least 4 years ago when I worked there. Since this was our first time playing with clay we decided to see if we could get the old stuff to work before we broke open the huge sampler pack of Primo Clay we just got. It was hard AF and almost got chucked in the trash honestly. Our hands became very sore after trying to roll out only two packs of old clay so we gave up, got a dope clay roller and smashed the clay up enough to revive it. Then used it to create smaller canes to put together to form this alien cane an a handful of other fun beads! We ran out of black to surround the alien with so thats why it ends up looking like Slimer the ghost. Doh.

All this was from 5 packs of clay, whaaa?!


Take me to your crafter

Reducing the cane, I could of done it nicer 






Orders from our Etsy Tie Dye shop will get a free
Alien bead as a gift with your purchase,
until supplies run out.

Baked at 245°F for 15 mins. on tshirt/fabric














The square ones with added gray around are my fave!

We still have a shit ton of left overs & canes from the craftsmart clay we plan on chopping up and making Heishi Beads with. They are so cool and I'm excited to make some pendants and earrings with the totally psychedelic creations. So far we've crafted up a few and we love the way the colors meld with one another making an ooak blotter totem type of effect, almost like they way the dye bonds with the fabric in tie dyeing.

Do YOU make polymer clay crafts?
We'd love to see your creations and tips,
drop a LINK below for all to see.

New Moon Dyeing - January 2019


🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

skies the limit

The winner of our last giveaway chose turquoise and purple colors 
to have a custom tie dye tapestry made for them. I decided to dye up 
a whole batch of other goodies including a few old school "Moon Ripple" design 
kids tees in those colors as well! Haven't made these in a while so I hope they 
turn out for they're gifts to be sent to our groovy buds wee ones.

It all starts here 💧

Two gallons of soda ash soak was made for this small batch, while a lil' Moon blessing was cast among the water before adding the items to soak. 🌛🌝🌜


Tie Dyers helpers


When I bottle and dropper dye goods I like to use lil' plastic cups with droppers in them, inside a shoe box by my dying totes. ✨ It works out pretty slick.


Dyed & just...chillin'

Living Coral = Pantone Color of the Year 2019




To tell the truth I haven't used a coral color "purposely" in a tie dye for years. Many shades of coral have shown up with ice dying lately and I have been totally digging the look. I find it intriguing to play around with the color Coral this year.

Color Inspiration is everywhere!

Fabric Scrubbies - Tie Dye Sewing Crafts


Playing with tie dye scraps has always been a fun thing for me to do. Once I got a serger all kinds of small creations happened! This is the first trial of a current & quick lil' project I'm still perfecting. 

Cut out scraps
Ready to be serged


These upcycled & repurposed cloth wipes have helped me around the house with no waste provided from them. My toddlers even love using them to clean up after meals and snacks. They've learned so much independence while having a blast!


Cleaning up meal time messes

Kids love to be independent!

A few sets of assorted designs & styles are and more will be listed in small trial packs for now. I'm working on designing them in a more durable way such as being top stitched, more absorbant and in larger bundles next year.

So much scraps, so little time to craft!

If you do happen to purchase a trial set please let me know what you think of them. Feedback is always appreciated to better my craft. Thanks!

Ice Dyeing Experiments - Batch #2

Working from the high of our last ice dyeing outcome Batch #1 and my expectations are more of a "Deep Sea Mermaid" type of vibe. 

I had hand tied up a bunch of kids stuff, tanks for me an a few table runners & wall hangings to do these ice dyeing batch experiments throughout the month of December. This way if the projects turned out like shit we'd just have shit tie dyes to wear at home lol. Newbie here at Ice Dyeing so this is working out wonderfully and the dyes are so far too, hopefully I can keep it up.

Anyway back to the dyeing...

Colors used:
Sea Glass - Dharma Trading Co. 
Blue Violet - Dharma Trading Co.
Turquoise - Custom Colours


Tied Up

Sprinkled Dye

"Ice Ice Baby"

Melted AF

Needless to say I was really excited to rinse these interesting creations an after 
I did I was well, not expecting what it turned out to be. Who the heck would 
actually know whats gonna happen right?! That's the addicting part of any kind 
of fabric dyeing to me! 🎨 You can do the same design and use the same 
colors but never get the same results.

To tell the truth I was a tish bit disappointed at first but after it washed & dried I was totally getting into the ooak patterns and color combo of these goods. I'm aiming towards a brighter style next time I dye a rainbow. 🌈

What do YOU think?

Deep Sea Mermaid

Fun Fact:
The toddlers tee and socks were gifted to two giveaway winners!

Sadly the dope table runner has a defect in the fabric an I just don't think it's listable for that. I'll more then likely keep it for an Ostara & Easter table runner! Perks of my job, I get to gift or keep all the messed up stuff.

Ice Dyeing Experiments - Batch #1

Soooooo
we've been super busy these past almost 4 years since we had two lil' boys in a row and never really got into the new fad of "Ice Dyeing" or "Snow Dyeing" in the tie dye world. Finally our kiddos have given us some time to get back into dyeing and we just have to give this Ice Dyeing a try.

I've seen some pretty amazing creations by rad dyers pop up on FB tie dye groups, Instagram and Etsy so I'm pretty damn excited to see what we can do, or at least be able to laugh my ass off over our horrible outcomes. Either way it should be fun.

Jason whipped up this first batch on Sunday 12-2-18 and at first I wasn't too impressed but after the items dried I was totally diggin' them!

He used:
Kingfisher - Dharma Trading Co.
Orange - Custom Colours
Cerulean - Custom Colours
Green - Custom Colours

Chillin'

Almost melted

Geode kids tees & socks!

Inclined Dyed Hoodie

The finished products were so interesting,
I decided to do another batch of ice dyes that night by myself!
See that outcome on my blog post:
