Fresh off the drying line

Every piece is a one-off. Ready-made pieces come in medium and large, and I can dye any size to order in the Dye Lab.

Your colors in motion

Watch your colors find their way

The same colors and fold as your shirt. Follow the ice as it melts and the dye settles into the cotton.

  1. Scrunch

    A washed, natural-fiber blank gets folded, twisted or crumpled. The fold decides the shape of the pattern.

  2. Dye, then ice

    I put powdered dye directly on the folded fabric, then cover it with ice.

  3. The slow melt

    As the ice melts, dye trickles through the folds and splits into hidden colors. This takes about a day.

  4. Rinse & reveal

    Rinse, wash, and unfold. It's the best part: even I don't know what I'll get.

Three ways I dye

  • Ice dye

    Dye goes on the folded fabric with ice over the top. Melting water carries it into the cotton, making soft blooms and unexpected color splits.

  • Liquid dye

    Mixed dye placed into the folds for stronger bands, crisp spirals and more control over where the color goes.

  • Bleach dye

    Bleach pulls color out of a dark shirt, revealing hidden rust, copper and blush tones.

What I can dye

If it grew, it glows

Dye bonds with plant and animal fibers, so anything natural is fair game: tees, hoodies, dresses, socks, totes, bandanas, pillowcases, baby clothes…

  • Cotton
  • Linen
  • Hemp
  • Bamboo
  • Rayon
  • Silk

Polyester and synthetic blends don't hold dye well. Not sure what yours is? Ask me!

Care guide

Keep it bright

  • Wash cold, inside out.
  • Wash it alone the first time or two.
  • Hang dry or tumble low, out of harsh sun.
  • Skip bleach and brightening detergents.

Hi there

Made by hand, one fold at a time

I started dyeing shirts for fun and never stopped. There's something magic about burying a plain white tee in ice and coming back the next day to colors I never planned.

Everything is dyed in small batches with fiber-reactive dyes, so the color is part of the fabric, not painted on top. Every piece is a true one-of-one.

Good questions

FAQ

What sizes do you make?

Any size, from baby clothes to 4XL and up. The ready-made pieces in the shop are mediums and larges. If you want one in another size, hit "Design one like it" and I'll dye you your own.

How long does a custom piece take?

Usually 1–2 weeks from when we lock in the design. The dye itself needs about a day to set, and then it gets rinsed, washed and dried.

Will mine look exactly like the Dye Lab preview?

The preview helps us plan the colors, pattern and feel. I'll do my best to bring your idea to life. Some techniques let me control the placement more closely; ice dye leaves more room for variation. No two pieces come out exactly alike, and we'll talk through what to expect before I start.

Can I ask for a specific design?

Absolutely. Send me your idea or a reference photo, even if you don't see it in the Dye Lab. I'm happy to work with you. I'll let you know what I can do, what might come out a little differently, and if a request is outside what I can make.

Can I send you my own shirt?

Yes, as long as it's a natural fiber like cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, rayon or silk. Blends come out faded and vintage-looking. Please wash it first and pick "I'll send my own" in the Dye Lab.

How do I pay?

Nothing is charged when you send a concept. Once we agree on a design and a price, I'll send you a secure payment link.

Will the color fade?

Fiber-reactive dye bonds to the fabric, so it stays bright. Follow the care guide (cold wash, no bleach) and it'll last for years.

My ice dyes

One dye can hold a whole palette. Explore the reference swatches, then try those colors with your favorite fold.

Dharma's cards show dye over ice, in the muck. I put dye under the ice. Fabric and technique change the result, so we'll use these as a starting point together.
