Snowdyeing Experiment

The other day someone was talking about snowdyeing by sprinkling dye powder on snow and letting the snow melt. They said that it even worked with turquoise. I decided to experiment since I had used greens that had turquoise in the mix in the past with snow and had gotten really pale results. Here are my results. I can see the turquoise in my final pieces but it is very pale and most of the dye washed out. I still think that when you use turquoise that you need to keep the temp warmer as turquoise likes warm temps.SNOW
