😉 I had wondered if I seemed backwards to others. Then it was pointed out. Then another person mentioned it so I think I was feeling a tad paranoid and super curious.

I love this shirt, the colors are very summery and I like that it is so fast. Going to try it with some reds and pinks for Valentine's day. Thanks for sharing this technique. I am very ambidextrous and can do pretty much everything equally well except for crocheting. Can only do that right handed. I played softball in high school and it came in handy to be able to pitch either handed depending on the batter.:)
Reds and pinks will be pretty. It’s a good method if you’re in a hurry. I do most everything right handed but intricate things left handed. I can’t crochet to save my life! ❤️🌈
Most left handed people have aryful skills n you are an artist!!..wonder if the same would had had more color done the regular way..live the way you do vids..thanks for sharing
I hope I don’t look completely backwards to you while you’re watching. 😬 I’m ambidextrous. This one did turn out pretty in 1/4 the time. I love the LWI method. 😃❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo Nope! It looks just fine to me. I play a lot of musical instruments so I don't have trouble deciphering right- or left-handed instructions. Anyway, don't worry about us. You just keep doing what you enjoy doing, and those of us who appreciate your art will keep on watching! 😁👍
You are a Great teacher Steph! I really appreciate your tips and techniques! And that you have a playlist just for patriotic designs.. makes you extra special ♥️ Shine On! Thank You!
I love the LWI technique. The shirt came out great! I have so many lefties in my family that the way they do things seems totally normal to me. Never really registered that you're left-handed but being ambidextrous is very cool! Thank you for the video!
Thank you, Ann. I think there is only two of us in my family. I hadn’t realized how ambidextrous I was until I started watching myself during the editing process. The oddest thing about me is that I can’t use scissors with my left hand. They won’t even cut paper! It’s the darnedest thing. 🤷♀️❤️🤷♀️
@@BelladonnaDyesCo that's so funny! We had the hardest time finding scissors for my middle little brother but less of a problem by the time the nephews came along. Maybe you learned on what they had at school? That is funny. 😊
@@auntieann3000 They tried everything they could to turn me right handed in elementary school. It was considered to be bad to be left handed back then. Isn’t that crazy!?
@@BelladonnaDyesCo it is crazy but it was the norm until very recently. Sort of tragic, really. Why does society do that to kids? I'm glad you're still a leftie. ❤
Great shirt and video. I ordered the measuring cup. I need something tall for mixing dye. It arrives tomorrow! I checked the blender. It’s on sale right now. I might buy another one. One for soda ash and one for dye. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you! You’ll really like the measuring cup. It’s microwave safe and boiling water safe… it’s perfect for tie dye. I’ve been considering getting a second immersion blender too. Thanks for the tip. 😁❤️🌈
Thank you so much, Robert! I really appreciate it. I try hard to make things that are interesting to watch yet look great and make people want to wear them. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️🌈
Thanks so much, Kim! I can’t take credit for the lid. #igotdyeonit is where I saw it first. It really does work but be careful not to put too much pressure on the shirt, it will tear a hole in the center. Out of several shirts I’ve torn two. 😬❤️🌈
No clue, was this one the one I put into the Betty Crocker bowl from the Dollar Store? I think it was the bigger of the two. Watch for cracks on the bottom Sheri. They are so inexpensive and it shows. ❤️🌈
Considering how fast this is made it turned out AMAZING!! I love a good muck dye. I know this isn’t technically a muck dye but it’s similar end results with the dark lines. Good clear information. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much! I really like the cheerful colors on this one too. This is a pretty easy technique and it gives good results in a fast amount of time. ☺️❤️🌈
So pretty. Could you do a comparison video showing the different results using LWI, HWI, and liquid dye, with the same exact spiral fold and dye placement? (Ice dye included in the comparison would also would be amazing. ) thanks.
Great idea, Laura! Yes, I can certainly do that. It will take a little bit to produce them because I’m working on some other projects but stay tuned because I’ll add it to the list. Have you seen the DOI, DUI, LOI & Liquid tutorials? That was a fun experiment. Part One: th-cam.com/video/eFHRMhsP0KA/w-d-xo.html Part Two: th-cam.com/video/3-iUQN_6Exg/w-d-xo.html
I need to try this. Does it have to be liquid dye or can you do powder? Maybe a light ice, let it melt, and then the super hot water. (Or I could just read the directions you linked 😉) Also, while I noticed you were left handed, it does effect your instructions, at least for me. My husband is a lefty, but he does weird things right handed. So interesting.
Great question, Katie. Yes, this can be done with ice dye first. A single layer of ice because the “muck” it creates needs to be accounted for in the liquid aspect. The goal it to keep the water “low”. Make sense? You can do it! You were the first to publicly notice I was left handed. I was surprised you had mentioned it because I knew I was asking the question in a future upload. 😜 You’re husband being a lefty,,, well you get it… for us we live in a right handed world. 😂 I get told all the time “why are you doing it like that” about everything. I stop and go “doing it like what!?!” I don’t know any other way 😉 ❤️🌈
This process is “muck” dye on steroids. If you need to make something in a hurry without mixing soda ash in the dye and having a sprayer, this is the method. Obviously different colors will produce different results. I forget how easy the process is. I need to do it more often. ❤️🌈
I noticed your left handedness but it doesn’t seem backwards to me. You start adding the dye from the left whereas I start from the right. The final outcome ends up being the same. Great tutorial. Very clear instructions. Good job 👏✌🏻
How much different would it be if you were to do the same colors, but doing it with the traditional technique that you do normally (pre soak with soda ash first, spiral, liquid dye, let it marinate for 24 hours) the question is would look the same, would the colors and spacing be more defined. In the LWI technique the colors look more together; if you did it the other way would there be more spacing and well defined. Inquiring minds want to know. 😀 If you could show this one side by side with the traditional technique. In the next video. If possible.
Tariq, the short answer is, “No, they will look completely different” I will make a shirt with the traditional tie dye technique and upload it so you can see. Stay tuned. It will take several days to get it done. LWI creates a layered effect. The dye starts out without any soda ash and soaks into the fibers in all the nooks and crannies then it gets a blast of hot soda ash water and the dye reaction happens. Since it’s sitting in the water it gets a “muck” effect. It’s a cool technique. ❤️🌈
I was born left-handed but when I was in first grade and learning to write. My teacher forced me to write with my right hand she would tape my fingers together or make me sit on my left hand. As she put it. "There will be no evil in her class." My parents went along with it. Fast forward to when my daughter was in kindergarten and her teacher saw that she was left-handed. Informed that we must teach her to use her right hand to write with. I told her that my daughter was born left handed and that's the hand she going to learn to write with.
I had sort of the similar experience but not as extreme. They gave me weird big pencils and crayons and tried to force me to write with my right hand. Like 1981 or so… I think they were lightening up by then. The nuns tried to force it. I had a sweet teacher, Miss DeWitt, she wasn’t a nun and she let me be me. She reminds me of Miss Honey from the movie Matilda. That’s cool your daughter is a lefty too. 😁❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo So am I. I taught myself to use left-handed things and even though my right hand can write very well. I'm taught myself to write with my left hand again. It's not fast but at least its legible. I'm recapturing the lost art of left-handedness. 🤣
💙💚💛So pretty! Thanks for all your videos, I came to check this one out after seeing a Facebook post about LWI, curious to learn more about it, thanks for the links! 🌈🫶🏼💗Laura
To me, left handed people don’t seem backwards; they look more awkward. Especially when they write with their wrist curved in that tight angle. Years ago, I had to have surgery on my right hand. I was still in college and I had to be able to write. I had to force myself to learn how to do everything left handed quickly. Now I’m ambidextrous. Oddly enough, I also learned that my left hand is less dyslexic than my right. My right hand gets b, d, p, g, and q mixed up and I write the letter F backwards. My left hand only misspells the word THE; it comes out as TEH. My hand/eye coordination is also better left handed than right handed. 🤷♀️
Wow! You’re unique. I can do a lot with my right hand but writing isn’t one of them. I personally don’t twist my wrist, but I slant my paper instead. Thanks for watching and commenting!! ❤️🌈
Being somewhat ambidextrous and right handed I don't see left-handed people doing anything "backward" If you play an instrument or dance you have to use all your limbs simultaneously.
That’s true. I was just curious because it’s a right handed world. I probably do a lot of things right handed because I learned by watching right handed people tie things up. 🤷♀️ Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊❤️🌈

When I first started tie dying & watched you I did 2 shirts backwards bcuz I’m right handed, still not sure why that happens but lmbo
I’ve always wondered if right handed people look at what I do as backwards or if I am ambidextrous enough to where it looks normal. 🤷🏼♀️❤️🌈
@@BelladonnaDyesCo When I noticed you were ambidextrous that really threw me off lmbo
I’m looking at this again. Don’t you think it kinda looks like ice dye? The colors are feathered.
I guess a little. It looks like LWI to me because it looks layered to me. ❤️🌈
Hey! Fellow leftie - I write with my left hand and a few other things but I’m really ambidextrous.
Me too... but I do most things right handed I think. I had to learn to live in a right handed world, just like you.
I didn't notice your handedness until you mentioned it. But then, I wouldn't -- I'm also ambidextrous, using whichever hand is most convenient.
Some of us are lucky like that! I was just curious if I look like I’m doing things backwards. 🤷♀️❤️🌈
