Ice dyeing
Temperatures here are around 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) so the chance of snow dyeing is zero. But as I did happen to have a bag of ice cubes in the freezer, I could still to some dyeing :-). I soda soaked 4 pieces of fabric and crunched them into my gutter. For dyeing purposes I have a gutter about 3 feet long. The ice cubes were placed on top of this and I added 3 different colors of blue over it. The blues I used were all pure ones: deep navy, mixing blue and turquoise. Because of this you do not see the splitting of colors what happens when you use mixed colors. Here are the pictures of how the fabric turned out:
