Ice-Dyed Top

I was cleaning my closet the other day and found an old top I bought from the sale rack years ago.  It was solid white and not very interesting.  I have worn it a couple times, but never thought it was very nice even though there is some beading around each cuff and the neckline.  Instead of giving it away, I decided to ice dye it in my favorite color...blue. 

This is how it looks hanging on the line drying.  The batch time was only 8 hours as we've been having 90 degree sunny weather.  The ice melted very fast.  

This is the final outcome.  I think it's very nice now.  The piece behind the top is just a small piece of scrap that went into the batch at the same time.  It will probably be used in a quilt sometime.
